Book Description

Series: Warner Forever | Publication Date: October 1, 2007

Shy No More Worksheet
Name: Jasmine Burns
Imagine the person who intimidates you. Naked. I'm intimidated by Josh Toby, the world's biggest movie star. Who has to imagine him naked? I've seen it on a forty-foot screen.
Breathe deep. Did I mention he's Josh Toby? As his costume designer, I'm supposed to dress him. And undress him. Oh, and my psychic sister Amy, who has never been wrong, named him my One True Love. Breathing is completely out of the question.
Ask for what you want. What I want is for him to stop being so...irresistible! I want not to fall in love with a man who's stalked by the paparazzi, whose washboard abs could cut glass, and whose movie star girlfriend is the most stunning creature ever.
Believe you can do what needs to be done. Then do it. So, all I have to do is believe I can resist Josh Toby. Resist those deep violet eyes, those strong, muscular arms, and the way he makes me feel like the only woman on earth. Couldn't be easier. Yeah right...

More About the Author

I love to write. That's pretty much all I do. Ask my family about the undone laundry, the un-bought groceries, and the fact that I rarely find time to get dressed in the morning. Actually, if you train your family right, they won't notice any of these things. "Popcorn for dinner again, mom! Cool," say my filthy children. God bless them, they don't know what panty hose are.

Oh, my poor husband.

Anyway, it took me a long time to figure out WHAT to write. So I spent years writing ads, brochures, and company reports. If I had to give advice to anyone--which, thankfully, I don't--it would be that if you want to write books, start now. In fact, get the heck off this website and do it.

Wait! First buy my book. Then read it. Then go and write.

Are you still here?

Okay, then you must be a pure reader (or my mother). Good for you. No money in writing. Best to have a real job.

What else do you want to know about me? I love kids. I love cats. I love chocolate. (Not necessarily in that order.) I live just outside of Philadelphia with kids and cats (and hidden stashes of chocolate) and my dear husband.

The much anticipated sequel to Make Me a Match is well worth the wait. Author, Diana Holquist has penned another romantic romp that is sure to please a wide variety of fans.

Jasmine Burns is a disaster when it comes to attractive men; she can't talk and she's a klutz. When she's told by her psychic sister the movie star, Josh Toby is her fated match, she is flabbergasted! It just can't be possible; she's a shy wallflower who doesn't attract handsome men, much less a movie star. Of course, now that she has the job as his dresser, it makes things even more uncomfortable for her, but Josh has other ideas.

Rousing fun and an original storyline makes Sexiest Man Alive one entertaining book that is difficult to put down. Jasmine is a personable woman that this reader felt great empathy for. She is afraid to believe she could attract such a "larger than life" gorgeous man and yet wants so badly to believe. Josh is a super sexy hero that grabbed a piece of my heart right away with his determination to show Jasmine he really did care about her. Bravo, Diana Holquist; this book is sure to be a fan favorite.

This review is from: Sexiest Man Alive (Warner Forever) (Mass Market Paperback)

Shame on me, I haven't read Make Me a Match. But I will now. Sexiest Man Alive is a great romance read. It's got humor, love, and hello the title says it, the Sexiest Man Alive! I love how shy and awkward Jasmine is and how Hollywood Hunk Josh wants to be the man help her overcome that. Of course like any romance, there are obstacles for each of the characters to hurdle, but Diana Holquist has a fantastic way of taking you along for the ride! I found myself laughing on the first page and smiling through to the ending. It's just amazing! I can't wait to read more from this author!

Great follow up to debut novel Make Me A Match! Studly action hero Toby and shy costumer Jasmine know perception can be vastly different from reality. By knowing this about themselves, they help the other overcome their fears and reach their potential. The subplots show the main relationship from other perspectives and add depth to the story. Great read, can't wait for more.
