SURVEILLANCE AT ITS SEXIEST - Jenna McBride is making a new start: a new city and a new business with a shot at the big time. She and her best friend - and interior decorating partner - jump at the chance to refurbish a venerable Seattle hotel. For a hands-on approach, Jenna is assigned a suite for a week's stay... it'll also give her an opportunity to ditch all the private investigators hired by her ex to spy in her!

Tyler Reeves may be a blue blood, but he's the black sheep in his family - making a living the hardway as a P.I., instead of opting for corporate finance. Now he has no choice but to accepta case he normally wouldn't - tailing some guy's fiancee. Easy enough. Until Tyler meets Jenna and falls for the sexy siren in a flash. It looks as if his undercover work will take on a whole new meaning - who will be the first left wearing next to nothing!

4.0 out of 5 stars lighthearted contemporary romance, November 9, 2002

This review is from: Next to Nothing ! (Paperback)

Four months ago Jenna McBride ended her engagement to Brandon Rice. To provide a bit of elbow room since they traveled similar circles, Jenna left Boston for Seattle where she joined her best friend Candice Hammond in a partnership, Canna Interior. However, Brandon refuses to accept no.

The IPS Detective Agency is flat broke due to one of the partners Reggie Sandhill defrauding the firm and several clients. Tyler Reeve is left cleaning up the mess as he believes his reputation and more is at stake. He refuses to turn to his family, owners of the Reeves-DuCartier International. Brandon hires Tyler to determine whether his fiancee Jenna is cheating on him. The job is relatively easy because his older brother purposely hires Canna Interior to decorate the Quayside Hotel. However, Jenna and Tyler are attracted to one another from the start of his surveillance and soon fall in love, but he knows how precarious their relationship is once she learns whom their matchmaker is.

Readers who enjoy a lighthearted contemporary romance will gain much pleasure from NEXT TO NOTHING. The story line is relatively simplistic yet fun to follow as Tyler struggles between work ethics and his growing desire for Jenna. Though Brandon is a caricature of a control freak (a nose job - read the book), fans will Barbara Dunlop's warm tale due to the delightful lead couple and a strong supporting cast (her friend and his family).
