Description
After going for more than a year without a date -- a record in New York City -- Marlowe Riddle has finally met a broodingly sexy, sharply intelligent man who is clearly interested in making more than polite conversation. The only problem: Joseph Kain is an NYPD detective clearly under the mistaken impression that Marlowe is a call girl. But while Marlowe does take money for spending time with strangers in her expensive Upper West Side apartment, she's a psychologist -- not Manhattan's answer show more to the Mayflower Madam! A fact she has no intention of telling Joe ... at least not until she finishes her research project on the "Behavioral Effects of Disguising Identity." But Marlowe's not the only one trying to secretively gain information ... and it's becoming increasingly unclear who is seducing whom. Because sometimes the only way to learn what a man really wants ... is to get him on the couch. show lessTags

Perfectly adequate, and funny in places. But I thought it was unbalanced, 3/4 of the book is focused primarily on the relationship between Joe and Marlowe with limited time given to their jobs and families. Then at the end, the job and family stuff all hits with a vengenance and with an unexpected seriousness. It was too much, one or even two of the events would have been enough, she didn't need more than five Bad Things.
This book was pretty good but something was missing.The chemistry between Joe and Marlowe was dynamite. However, the subplot of the murder was a bit unclear and confusing.
