A Class Act (Harlequin Temptation #746, 15th Anniversary) [Paperback]

Pamela Burford (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Temptation | Publication Date: August 1, 1999

MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED…

Who, but handsome, preppy prelaw Gabe Moreau? And it was obvious to everyone except Gabe that what he felt for Dena Devlin—the janitor's daughter!—was just puppy love. But it was Dena who walked away when Gabe lost his innocence to someone…more…appropriate.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

Dena, not outrageously successful herself, figured she could handle seeing Gabe for an evening at their high school reunion. But an entire week under the same roof with the sexy, still-single hunk? With a crew of old friends fanning the flames that still burned between them?

She had a choice to make: reject her own desire and have her revenge…or get what she'd always wanted—Gabe.

I couldn't put this book down! Dena Devlin is a different kind of heroine who isn't afraid to put her mark on the world or Gabe Moreau. Not only do they sizzle when they are together, it is getting there that is half the fun. Poor Dena is no longer poor and doesn't have to deal with the stereo types she put up with as a child. She wasn't nor is she now afraid to be herself. Dena is the real McCoy and I found pleasure in her dealings with her prudish high school rival Andrea Pittman. If you have ever been slighted in high school or weren't voted Most likely to Succeed, hell even if you were...<VBG> Read this book, you won't be sorry!

Pamela Burford's A CLASS ACT is a fine romantic fantasy. How many of us remember romances that went awry, or perhaps never quite got started, while we were still in high school? In A CLASS ACT, a weeklong high school reunion gives Gabe and Dena the chance to meet again.

Gabe is, as he'd always planned to be, a highly successful partner in his father's law firm. Dena, his high school soulmate, is the janitor's daughter who has become a highly successful entrepreneur. He feels guilty and she's wary because of something that happened on the golf course in the spring of their final year. And what's the role of Andrea, the girl Gabe's parents had wanted him to date, and why do he and she still work together?

All these questions get played out during the dinners, dances, swims, excursions and tours of the reunion. We see that the Top Gossip still has the most information, and that the "hunk" has become a "chunk." We enjoy seeing "an awkward, pimply jock with squinty eyes, thick horn-rimmed glasses, and a black buzz cut" transformed into a startlingly attractive man. And the retired drama teacher, "Ham", still enjoys working behind the scenes.
