Heart on the Line

I thought this book might be a traditional romance, but it's more of a chick-lit. Although it starts with an attraction and ends with a romantic crescendo, the book has a young heroine with a strong career involvement who is not mooning around like a lovelorn cow all the time.

I enjoyed the characters, I enjoyed that the author took some time to dig around in Josh's mind as well as Loretta's... I just liked the book altogether.

I liked this book. More later.

From BackCover:
Long Island born and bred Loretta D'Angelo is a hip, savvy TV producer for a seriously fluffy New York daytime talk show. Josh Kaplan is a sexy thirtysomething lawyer for Manhattan's less fortunate, a devoted son who still mows his mother's lawn.

Josh and Loretta are just friends, because Josh has a girlfriend, Melanie — 1,200 miles away in Florida. They're just friends when he agrees to become Loretta's "arranged" blind date for a ratings-boosting show. They're just friends when he pretends to be her boyfriend to get her marriage-obsessed family off her back. They're just friends when she visits the senior center where he plays chess. They're just friends when they fall into bed…and in love.

Now what? Will Josh break show more up with Melanie? Will Loretta let him? Sometimes, if you want something badly enough, you have to put your heart on the line, even if it means doing something a little crazy…. show less
