No, it's Iowa. And Iowa's own Chloe Madsen is set to turn the Big Apple on its collective ear. (If apples can have ears!) Gibson's Girl is a delightful read from start to finish. Loved Anne McAllister's true to life characters. Gibson Walker is used to beautiful women--in varying states of dress and undress. As a high fashion photographer in Manhattan, he's photographed the most stunning women in the world. But none of those beauties prepare him for the down-to-earth warmth and sensuality of Chloe Madsen. Chloe has come to New York to get the bright lights out of her system before she settles down to a sensible, comfortable life with her sensible, comfortable boyfriend back in sensible, comfortable Iowa. Sensibility and comfort are out the window from the moment she lays eyes on Gibson Walker. Heaven is in Iowa. And it's in New York. It's anywhere these two characters come together. A definite keeper!

Gibson Walker was appalled when Chloe Madsen came to work for him. he's only agree to employ her as a favor-- he had no time to babysit an innocent small town girl. So why was he finding himself tormented by Chloe's shy beauty-- and infuriated that she didnt even notice him?
Chloe didnt dare notice Gib. She was already engaged, and only in NY for the summer. besides, Gibson walker was exactly the sort of man mothers warn their daughters about: sinfully gorgeous and determinedly single!

this is a fun read, but dont expect it to be one of your favorites. i enjoyed reading this book but this is the type of book that i wouldnt read twice. I found some of what's happening absurb and the guy wasnt up to my standard for an ideal hero. Gibson was conceited.. too sure of himself.. he was ridiculous! i didnt really feel that he cares for the heroine.

This is #3 in McAllister's New York New York line.

There are a lot of secondary characters, all contributing. The City itself practically qualifies as another member of the cast. The details of the hero's past betrayal don't come before the VERY end, and I think the timing could have been better. But the fun, of course, is in watching the snarly Gibson fall for Chloe.

Enjoy.

Third book in Anne McAllister's New York! New York! series ... all six books in this series are not to be missed! This book was a RITA finalist. I recommend reading them in order, although each can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel as well. Make room on your keeper shelf for the entire series: Finn's Twins, Fletcher's Baby, Gibson's Girl, Rhys's Redemption, The Inconvenient Bride, and Nathan's Child.

This book tells the story of Gibson Walker and Chloe Madsen, and introduces the characters Rhys Wolfe and Mariah Kelly, who star in the next book in the series, Rhys's Redemption ...
