Very Good Read!!,
By
This review is from: Dear Cupid (Mass Market Paperback)
Since her divorce, Kate Bradshaw's online column "Dear Cupid" hasn't been scoring any points with her readers and the owner of the online magazine that runs her column threatened to cancel her if she didn't put the fun back into her romance advice. Kate needed to take control and regain her carefree spirit she'd lost in recent years. What better way than to find a man to make romance fun again. She didn't want a serious relationship, just someone to flirt with. Looking around, she spied Mike......Mike Cameron believed in love at first sight, but he never found the "right girl" for himself. His job as a movie animator didn't help since he worked about sixteen hours a day. Relaxing, eyes closed, waiting for his flight at L.A. airport, Mike began thinking of marriage. His thoughts were interrupted when a woman spilled her purse at his feet. Upon opening his eyes, Mike found himself face to face with the most enchanting woman he had ever seen. He knew at that moment that she was the "right girl" and he intended to convince her that she would be very happy as Mrs. Mike Cameron. Once again, Ms. Ortolon has delivered a well-written and delightful novel. Her characters are well-developed and there is much interaction among all these characters. The leading lady, Kate Bradshaw, has much on her plate. She is trying to put her life back on track after divorce from workaholic who had no time for his family. Her seven-year old son, Dylan, suffers with asthma and her confidence level is at an all-time low. Mike Cameron is the perfect hero for this story. Not brash or crude, he is caring, considerate and very patient with Kate, allowing her the time she needs to heal, but he is very determined to win her heart. You will just love the way he wins approval from Kate's little boy. Mike is so easy going you can't help but love him! If you want to read a very good story try this one. And then try Julie's previous novel "Drive Me Wild". This author is now on my auto-buy list. Thank you Julie for many hours of reading pleasure.

breezy beach read,

This review is from: Dear Cupid (Kindle Edition)
Kate has turned bitter and taken to a bit of male-bashing... not an ideal situation for an online romance columnist. While waiting for a flight back home, she decides to practice her rusty flirting skills on an unsuspecting man in a loud Hawaiian shirt. He happens to be Michael Cameron, a highly respected and talented movie animator. For him, it's love at first sight. While Kate feels an attraction, she wants nothing more to do with him. Mike devises a plan to spend more time with Kate, even though the pretense is so thin both can see right through it. While Kate's life slowly falls apart, Mike tries to convince Kate to believe in herself again.
This is a fairly straightforward, predictable read. At first, Kate comes off as shallow and selfish, with her love of nice clothes and a nice home, and an attraction to powerful men. It is almost as if she doesn't know herself, because Mike might have it all, but that isn't why she falls for him. She also cares more about her son than anything else, willing to give up on her own dream to make sure that Dylan is protected and cared for. While Kate worries that Mike will disappoint Dylan like his father has, and Mike isn't sure he really wants anything to do with another man's child, Dylan is ultimately the reason they can come together to form a big, happy family.

Laugh out loud, cute, sweet, sexy contemporary romance!,
By Melinda Freeland (Canyon Lake, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dear Cupid (Mass Market Paperback)
Julie Ortolon does it again! Just like her first book, Drive Me Wild, her new book has an orginal plot and has a flirty, sexy, sweet,humorous tone all rolled into one! Again the author appeals to me by writing sexy scenes without being "graphic." It was also nice to read about familiar places in my home state of Texas. Her heroine Kate is an e-zine columnist who has become down on men since her divorce. Kate's boss Gwen hints that if Kate doesn't quit writing columns and advice e-mails that are so negative on love, that Kate will be out of job. Kate decides to be a little crazy and flirt with movie animator Michael Cameron in an airport. He winds up pursuing her under the phony notion that he wants Kate to help him find a wife (through her friend's business called Wife For Hire), when of course he wants Kate to become his wife. The author does a superb job of showing sexual tension between the two that keeps you turning the pages. Julie Ortolon also makes the reader really FEEL what the characters feel, such as when the author reveals Kate's feelings on divorce and about Kate's son Dylan, who has asthma. Great contemporary romance - I'm going to tell all my friends to read this book!
