A good read!, February 18, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Mission : Make - Over (Harlequin Presents, 2158) (Mass Market Paperback)
I really liked this book. It was a fast read, but the story was pretty romantic, even if it had a typical romance story theme. The characters, Jake and Luce, were pretty likable and I felt sad that they felt they had to hide their feelings. At the beginning of the book, I felt bad for Luce because she really did not know how to act feminine, but I did think she was a somewhat weak female character. But that is just my opinion. But if you have liked Penny Jordan in the past you will probably like this book, even if it is similar to a lot of her other books.

<~~~~~* My Favorite, So Far *~~~~~>, April 24, 2001
This review is from: Mission : Make - Over (Harlequin Presents, 2158) (Mass Market Paperback)
¡§Mission¡¨ is my favorite book, at least out of all the books I read so far, that I could remember. I like these kinds of books where the heroine changes and defeats the bad guys (not exactly, but in a way) and finds true love.
Lucianna Stewart is a tomboy, she even dresses like one, but you really can¡¦t blame her because her mother died when she was a few months old and was raised by a father and 4 brothers! Anyways she works as a mechanic and has a boyfriend, John. John is like the bad guy, he don¡¦t treat her as a boyfriend would treat a girlfriend and when he leaves on a business trip to Canada, Lucianna decided she had enough. She decided that she should act more feminine and this is where Jake comes in.
Jake Carlisle is Lucianna¡¦s neighbor and a friend of the family¡¦s since like forever(?) and he¡¦s the gorgeous sexy type. He decides to help Lucianna by making her look and act more feminine and it works. He teaches her how to flirt, to look at the signs of body language, and among other stuff. What he didn¡¦t tell her was why de wants to help, she thinks it¡¦s out of his good heart, although he has other intentions.
When John comes back from Canada, he¡¦ll see a whole new Lucianna, and a whole new attitude. Along with a few changes Lucianna decides to make in her life about the boys in particular.
I liked this book it was a light read. (But what Harlequin books weren¡¦t a light read?) Anyways I like these kinds of books and i don¡¦t normally find these kinds of romances where the hero/heroine would change itself to discover more and to realize more. I wonder if I¡¦m the only one who like these books because most of my friends like to read books about the strong and independent types.
