4.0 out of 5 stars Love in Thailand, December 25, 2001

Tansy comes to Thailand when she is offered a job as a designer to a clothing manufacturer. One problem. She discovers her new boss is Vin Makram, a man she crossed swords with when she badmouthed the merchandise in a store he owned. But they put their differences aside very quickly, and very soon attraction flows smoothly. One other problem, Vin is apparently deeply entrenched in a relationship with another young woman, a young woman who's father is instrumental in Vin's business, making Vin look like a gigolo. Its obvious Vin likes Tansy, but he keeps telling her to wait for him, without apparent reason. The truth comes out later, and you really feel for poor Vin, being caught in an impossible situation while the women he loved, Tansy, is right in front of him, but he can't touch her. They have a satisfying reunion, and their romance was very gratifying. I give this a high recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Harlequin writers, July 29, 2008

This review is from: One Girl at a Time (Harlequin Presents #1420) (Paperback)

Rarely will you find an author who is as genuine, exciting and as thorough as Leigh. Her characters are always very down-to-earth and likable, making her a good-read, always.

This story, set in Thailand, is no exception. She is thorough with her detail, including sights sounds customs and a bit of the basic language when talking about another country that is not English or American. Her character Tansy and Vin are normal, goodlooking people, and there are usually 3rd parties interested in the protagonists, which naturally add to the riot. Her plots are exciting because in the end, she'll throw in another huge plot to offset all the small problems during the whole book.

I esp like Leigh's mistaken identity plots, constant verbal sparring and/or her rags-to-riches stories. It always reminds me that you should never judge a book by its cover. (Especially when the cover misleads you that its just another run-of-the-mill, boring , possibly trashy romance novel)

Tansy had met Vin Makram before

The first time he'd become irate after hearing her bad-mouth the goods in his store in Thailand.

So it was embarrassing to unexpectedly discover, on their second meeting, that he was both a leading businessman and her new boss! However, Vin seemed prepared to forget that first unhappy encounter.

Only Tansy wasn't really sure what he wanted from her. Was she just a pleasant diversion, a challenge to be conquered, or was working with her simply a way for Vin to combine business with pleasure...?
