2.0 out of 5 stars
Below average,
By Gemma "bookworm" (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Duets #45 (A Regular Joe / Mr. Right Under Her Nose) (Duets, 45) (Paperback)
From the back cover:
A REGULAR JOE by Carol Finch Mr. Ordinary, he's not! CEO Daniel Grayson wanted to escape his frustrating corporate world. So he assumed a fake identity to go mingle with the masses. When store manager Mattie Roland hired Joe Gray, he seemed a godsend. And, against company policy, she was soon shamelessly exchanging kisses with her handsome new hire. Until the day she found out that he was no regular Joe... MR. RIGHT UNDER HER NOSE by Jennifer Drew Reconfiguring Mr. Wrong... One minute, Kim Grant was stuffing spilled lingerie into her busted suitcase. The next, her fingers connected with steel--under silk--as white knight Rick Taylor helped her to save face. Her rescuer was sexy, intelligent...and stood between her and the sole rental car she needed to get home. So, before long, Kim found herself on a cross-country adventure with a man who had all the makings of Mr. Right--except that he was dead-set against marriage... And my review: I actually started out really liking A REGULAR JOE. The story had so much going for it: likeable hero and heroine, a loveable eccentric grandfather, a nice flowing writing style. Though the theme of "man falls in love with woman under false pretenses, only to lose her when she discovers the truth" is an old one, a good writer can breathe new life into a well-used plot device. This author wasn't having any problems there. My complaint was that I felt that the attitude of the hero and heroine of "I'm sexually attracted to you, and you're sexually attracted to me...can we get into bed now?" was rather immature and short-sighted. These two didn't really care about the other person as a person...they just couldn't keep their hands off one another. While physical chemistry between characters is necessary for a good romance, I like a bit more subtlety (and true affection) than that. I couldn't work up the will to finish this one after that. Two stars. Jennifer Drew is actually a pseudonym for two authors who write as one. I've yet to read a collaboration book that I liked. This one seemed better than most, but again, I felt that there was nothing but sex drawing these two together. Not that this was a lust-soaked book, because it wasn't, but I never felt like there was anything real and lasting between these two. Sex is not enough of a reason for me to cheer for a man and a woman to be together. After all, that's not enough to get a couple through the hard times that will inevitably come with a lifetime relationship. Two stars. For something marked as romantic comedy, I didn't find either of these stories very funny or romantic. Not recommended by this reader.

as one madcapped mishap follows another in this love-on-the-road story. From the first moment Kim Grant bumps into Rick Taylor at the airport, nothing is ever quite the same. They both need to get across the country, and never has the journey seemed so long...at least not until the minute that forever wouldn't be long enough for Kim. She's in love. But Rick doesn't believe in forevers. As a matter of fact, his urgent trip is prompted by the need to save his brother from another marriage. But Kim is a forever kind of girl. How can they possibly find a happily-ever-after?Jennifer Drew will have laughing and sighing in this hilarious story!
