Another Steamy read, January 10, 2005
This review is from: Nothing But The Best: Sex & The Supper Club (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)
Nothing But The Best continues the hot, steamy stories of the Sex and The Supper Club by Kristin Hardy.
Cilla Danforth wants a few days of not being Sam Danforth's daughter. On the way to her hotel she meets a mysterious stranger. They met up later and have an incredible night of passion.
But the next time she sees Rand Mitchell, she finds out he is her father's company's new golden executive. Rand is floored to find he has to work on a project with Cilla. He wants it strictly business but soon their desires take over.
This series is fun and sexy. Each member of the club finds their perfect match. Its great to see previous hero's and heroines reappear in each new book.

A three is generous, really a 2.5, August 5, 2005
This review is from: Nothing But The Best: Sex & The Supper Club (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)
Cilla is a rich, self-involved, snobby heiress to a department store chain. Daddy accepts her idea to open a new boutique, but to her dismay the stranger she slept with the night before is to be her partner in the venture. She wants the store to cater to young, trust fund babies and have sex toys in the back. Go figure.
Cilla and Rand develop a personal relationship along with their business one, but Cilla is very cavalier about both; thoughtless, selfish and unrepentant.
EX: She tells Rand she'll meet him at four but shows up after six because she was "running errands and didn't think to call. I've never been in this kind of relationship before. I'm not used to having to account for my time. I'll be better in the future, I promise. I'm sorry I'm just not used to thinking about another person. I won't do it again." This is her stock speech every time she does something hurtful or thoughtless, which is often.
The store is doing well and Rand comes up with an idea for a chain of stores. Cilla mentions it to Daddy who tells her what a great idea SHE had, which she never corrects. The next day she blindsides Rand by presenting "her" plan (no mention of him)at a board meeting. Everyone praises her for being so brilliant, and except for one quiet 5 word sentence about Rand's involvement, she basks in their approval. They tell her to "Use Rand to help you as necessary". At this point she should have stood up, said Rand came up with the idea and they were working on it together. But not our Cilla. She takes credit for an idea that someone else, her lover, came up with.
Rand is furious and disgusted and finally get's a backbone. This is one betrayal too many and he realizes he's been playing the fool. Once again Cilla spouts the same lines she always come up with and a few additions. "I made a mistake, I was in a hurry, they got it wrong, I didn't mean it to come off that way, I wasn't trying to take credit for your work (then why did she?), it was an accident, it was a misunderstanding, it's just a memo. I can't believe you're bent out of shape over a piece of paper." Hello?? We're talking about a lot more than that.
Cilla feels she should be angry at Rand and is certain that he will come to her and apologize. She doesn't understand why he won't give her yet another chance.
I kept waiting for this character to redeem herself and not put herself first. It never happened. Rand of course remained a door mat, thinking Cilla will change. BTW she never tells the truth about the idea being Rand's.

An enjoyable read, August 20, 2007
This review is from: Nothing But The Best: Sex & The Supper Club (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a quick, fun read. I have to confess, I couldn't really identify with the heroine, but that doesn't mean she wasn't life like. There are a lot of people in real life that I can't identify with :-) All in all, I enjoyed reading about her and the hero. A super sexy read.
