Product Description

"Another lovely story well up to Patricia McLinn's high standards" - 5-Star review


Charming Paul Monroe has the Peter Pan thing down pat. As an antique toy appraiser, even his work involves play. Which is fine, unless your job is to keep his Chicago business running smoothly . . . and all that charm -- and sexiness -- is aimed at you. 


Organization and reliability are Bette Wharton's hallmarks. She handles the toughest clients with aplomb, until Paul provides a challenge that goes way beyond the office. She has a plan and a timetable. How can she let herself fall for Mr. Live-for-the-Moment when all he offers is Love-for-the-Moment?

Another lovely story well up to Patricia McLinn's high standards. A modern-day story of two chalk and cheese people who learn to compromise, and adapt their lifestyles to accommodate the other's needs. To say more would be a spoiler!

to a series by Patricia McLinn that sounds interesting.

Paul Monroe will always be a child at heart especially since he is an appraiser of antique toys, but he isn't the best boss to have. Before his secretary/assistant has her baby she made arrangements for a replacement through a temp agency.

Bette Wharton runs the temp agency and is a by the book, reliable, organized girl. She realizes that this man is hard to deal with but knows that there is someone who will help him. She also realizes when they meet that there is a connection between them that if taken the right way could lead to an incredible romance. He finds out that sometimes organization can be good and necessary. But that means both of them are going to have to leave that safety box they have themselves in.

This is a light romance that of course has a good ending and if the others are like it then it will be a series that I would love to continue to read.

I enjoyed reading this story very much. The characters were well-developed and the dialogue was excellent. There were some editing mistakes but not enough to interrupt the flow of the story. Although the plot was a bit predictable, watching Bette, who has a strong need for control develop a loving relationship with Paul, who lives in the moment, was very well done. If you're in the mood for a romance with very likable characters, then I recommend that you read this one.
