More About the Author

Cindi Myers became one of the most popular people in eighth grade when she and her best friend wrote a torrid historical romance and circulated it among their peers. Fame was short-lived, however; the English teacher confiscated the manuscript and advised her to concentrate on learning to properly diagram a sentence. From this humbling beginning, she has gone on to write more than three dozen novels that have been translated into more than a dozen languages and distributed all over the world. Her books have been praised for their emotion, humor and realistic characters. She writes stories about relationships that matter, whether the subject is friendship, families, or the love between a man and a woman.

This review is from: Say You Want Me (Mass Market Paperback)

Nurse Joni Montgomery needs a man to keep her matchmaking grandma at bay. With Grandma visiting soon, Joni results to a desperate blind date in hopes of keeping Grandma satisfied with her active love life. Otherwise, Grandma will select just the wrong kind of daredevil for her security minded granddaughter. When Joni arrives at the restaurant for her blind date, rather than the balding ordinary man she expects, Joni encounters a hottie.

While she might prefer a safe accountant, Connor Sullivan's sensual promise lures Joni into dangerous territory. So when the "real" blind date appears, Joni finds herself gently sending him away, much to Connor's delight. He cannot believe that the woman of his dreams has materialized at his table, and Connor intently insures that she does not just walk away. So when she later explains her need for a temporary boyfriend, Conner is happy to oblige. Perhaps his act will be so perfect Joni will want the real thing. Too bad that, as a cop, Connor is precisely what Joni claims to not want!

Author Cindi Myers pens a delightful romance with SAY YOU WANT ME. Heroine Joni voices the fears of a woman who dreads the possibility of loss, even at the risk of revealing her in an unfavorable light at times. Carter's charming persistence and cheerful nature tolerates Joni's fears with good humor and grace. Add an outrageous grandma and the result is a lively, light read fans will enjoy. SAY YOU WANT ME comes highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun contemporary romance, July 9, 2003

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Say You Want Me (Mass Market Paperback)

A nurse at San Antonio's Santa Rosa Hospital, Joni Montgomery knows a Code Blue emergency has just hit home when her mama warns her that Grandmother "GP" Pettigrew is visiting her in two weeks with plans to stay until her granddaughter is married. Joni not only does not wish to have a husband at this time, she worries that the type of male GP will foster on her is that of a hunk with a dangerous job and a reckless attitude. Joni needs a fake boyfriend to con GP into leaving town. She has no prospects so she turns to blind date Carter Sullivan who readily agrees to be her pretend beau.

However, Carter has his own agenda as this cop now fully believes in love at first sight. He plans to go along with Joni's scheme to fool GP until he persuades her to make the sham real even if it means enlisting GP's help.

The theme of using phony lovers to spin duplicity to fool a meddling beloved older family member has been used numerous times but this remains a fun contemporary romance. The story line works because GP seems so genuine, a wonderful, caring, kind, obstinate busybody. Everyone except the female protagonist will agree that the lead duo belongs together and that M&Ms are great (aphrodisiacs?).
