Got a Hold on You [Mass Market Paperback]

Pat White (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Accountant Frankie McGee has always been wrapped around her eccentric Uncle Joe's little finger, so when he asks her to help him save his business, she agrees despite misgivings. Never in her wildest dreams did she think helping the business would land her in the middle of a wrestling ring in a battle for her heart, playing Tatianna the Tigress to the company's star attraction, Black Jack Hudson. If Jack had anything to say about it, he would win it hands down. White mixes today's wrestling world with 1980's wrestling nostalgia; adds warm smiles, quirky characters, and a sympathetic couple; and cooks up a perfect diverting read. Never fear that the romance gets lost in the background. Instead, White balances the unconventional setting with universal experiences, giving both the real life heroes of the ring and Jack the respect and love they deserve. Shelley Mosley

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming, December 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Got a Hold on You (Mass Market Paperback)

.
This book is absolutely charming. Francine and Jack's story comes across beautifully from their first momentous meeting to their very last kiss.

I loved the fact that they had great sexual chemistry, while at the same time the entire relationship wasn't based entirely on sex. Sex is fine. I enjoy it when romantic novels explore sexuality between the characters. However, lately all I seem to read is entire books where all the plot action takes place between the sheets. It becomes tired and boring. Great conversation between the characters is much more appreciated.

Francine and Jack come across like real people. The pace of the book is great, the relationship angles are all fully explored, the plot is well thought out and unhurried, and the love that grows between Francine and Jack is refreshing.

This review is from: Got a Hold on You (Mass Market Paperback)

Frankie McGee is an accountant with a prestigious Boston firm. Her life for the next ten years is very carefully planned out down to where she will vacation for the forseeable future. (...)Frankie has one unpredictable factor in her life, her Uncle Joe. Joe runs WHAK, Wrestling Heroes and Kings, a professional wrestling enterprise. He is in financial trouble and knows that Frankie will never say no to him, so he asks for her help. Somehow, Frankie goes from the books to the ring as the Tiger Lady, fake wife to wrestling star Black Jack Hudson. Jack isn't any happier about the situation than Frankie, but Joe pressures them both into continuing the charade.

This is an incredibly funny book with truly unique situations and characters. I can't wait to read the next one. I love an author with a sense of humor.
