Sheridon Smythe (Author)

Book Description

Series: Time of Your Life | Publication Date: November 2000

Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? Petite but impulsive Brooke Welch went haywire when a careless heartbreaker got her kid sister pregnant, then up and disappeared. No way would the playboy evade his responsibility, even if Brooke had to kidnap him, hogtie him, and force him to be a father. Trouble was, Brooke hijacked the wrong man! Worse, the drop-dead gorgeous hunk she held captive in a cabin proved to be Alex Bradshaw, her new boss, who was anonymously investigating crimes at his Quicksilver factory. Suddenly, Brooke was up to her ears in danger…and desire. Caught between a rock and, um, a hard place. And finding it—and Alex's arms—an all-too-perfect fit…

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, Definitely a Perfect Fit (meow), December 14, 2000

I can believe that a small woman could have a very large temper - my Irish grandmother weighed 85 pounds all her life but her 3 large sons and husband jumped when she got mad!

Brooke Welch is plate-throwing, china-crashing ticked off when she finds out that her baby sister Dee (whom she raised) is pregnant by a man who claims he will not marry her; he only wants to marry for money. Big sister decides that she will go after him and force him to do the decent thing.

When you read this book (I insist!) and find out what she used rather than a gun in her pocket to kidnap the wrong guy, you will probably choke laughing. And if you thought she was upset when she found out Dee was pregnant, wait until you get her reaction when the guy she has kidnapped shows rather less fear and respect than he ought to in his predicament.

When Brooke looks at this hunk she can see Dee didn't have a chance. He sends shivers and chills down her spine which makes her feel that she is very unloyal to her poor baby sister.

There are some wrongs to be addressed by her kidnap victim, some puzzling twists and turns, but most situations in this one are just riotously funny.

Very bright writing, another keeper for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed until I cried, November 28, 2000

Talk about a case of mistaken identity. Brooke's baby sister is pregnant and Brooke is out for blood..preferably that of the slick talking scum bag who knocked up her baby sister. She plots to kidnap him to make him listen to her and marry her sister. Instead she accidently kidnaps her new boss. Alex has come to town invesigating a claim of embezzlement in his new condom factory. Tossing the two of them together in a search for the thief is like lighting a match in a barn full of hay. The sparks are going to fly. At different times I laughed so hard I literally had tears rolling down my face. This is a must have on my list. Ms. Smythe keep it up. I just ordered Mr Hyde's Assets and I can only hope it's as great as this one.

Ok I admit it I bought this book because of the title and the cover. I mean it is a great title and the cover does make a girl have naughty thoughts! Oh my!

Anyway, this book is the first I've read from Sheridan Smythe and it won't be the last. I laughed a lot over this book. It was a very easy read and made my afternoon.

Brooke, the heroine, is a normally very stable unimpulsive person, that is until some jerk knocks up her sister and then disappears. Brooke decides to kidnap him and get him to admit to his crime and take responsiblity for his child. Well it sounded like a good plan anyway. The only problem was that Brooke has hijacked the wrong man! Oops! The man turned out to be the new owner of the factory where she is a shift manager. Alex Bradshaw is technically on vacation. His health has suffered as of late so his doctor has ordered a vacation. Well Alex decides to first come down and see his new factory and try and figure out why his condoms are failing. Yes I did say condoms. Its a condom factory.
I must admit the setting made for some very funny scenes.

Well as soon as Brooke realizes her mistake Alex inlists her help in uncovering the culprits. Together they proceed with a wacky investigation that leads them not only to the bad guys but to love. Along the way they fall for each other. The tension between the two is hot and when it's finally unleased its explosive.

I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read others from this author. If you can get this book do.
