Another winner from O'Reilly..., April 5, 2004
This review is from: It Should Happen To You (Harlequin Temptation) (Mass Market Paperback)
It Should Happen to You - Kathleen O'Reilly Hot guy. Smart girl. Steamy [affair]. Blackmail brought them together? The last thing that super smart, astrophysicist Michelle "Mickey" Coleman expected was to be blackmailed after her best friend's bachelorette party. For Mickey, the loss of her best friend to marriage after making the Bachelorette Pact was just the last straw. What had started out as a bad evening, went rapidly downhill after drowning her sorrows in the bottom of more than a few glasses, getting blindingly drunk and having sex with an ambitious intern at the company Mickey works for. Now he wants more from her than just a drunken, one night fling and is willing to blackmail her with a video he taped of them during their previous encounter to get it. What's a genius to do? Hire a "professional", of course. As is the case more often than not, the course of true love never did run smooth, especially in the case of undercover cop Dominic Corlucci/Cordano. Running from a past he couldn't escape in his mind, he reluctantly agrees to help the woman in disguise seated before him. Looking for a solid way in to "The Family", he needs Mickey's help for a mob wedding. Things get sticky when his good-hearted but slightly dim Family pal falls in love with the Boss's abused wife and wants Dom to bring Mickey on a double date. Just when he thought his life couldn't get anymore complicated, he finds himself falling for Mickey while trying to keep afloat in the treacherous sea of Family life. When Mickey realizes she has started to tumble head over heels for the sexy bad boy she wonders how this love can survive. Especially with a macho Mafioso man. Kathleen O'Reilly is one of those authors that just keep getting better with every book that she writes. A delight to be sure, she delivers yet another winner in this fun and fast paced second book of her addictive Bachelorette Pact series. Having read the first book in the series about Jessica, I was excited to read and review Mickey's story. "It Should Happen to You" is a truly engaging contemporary romance between a brainy scientist trying to make a stellar future for herself and an intelligent cop trying to make amends for his past. I didn't want to put it down until I had read the very last page. "It Should Happen to You" was an extremely entertaining, sexy read that made me wish next month was already here so that I could continue the hot and highly enjoyable Bachelorette Pact series with her third book, "Breakfast at Bethany's". Look for Beth's story in stores May 2004. Nicole Boedeker

Bachelorette pact book 2, June 13, 2005
This review is from: It Should Happen To You (Harlequin Temptation) (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading the 1st. story "Pillow talk" with Jessica & Adam, I couldn't wait to read Mickey & Dom's story.
Mickey is being blackmailed by a colleague after spending the night with him. He has a tape of them together. Mickey needs help fast to get it back. Beth knows just the man for the job...
This is the second book I have read of Kathleen's & it won't be my last. I have all the books in this series & i'm going to find out what others she has.
Next in the series is Beth's story in "Breakfast at Bethany's".

From "The Bachelorette Pact" series - Highly recommended, May 9, 2004
This review is from: It Should Happen To You (Harlequin Temptation) (Mass Market Paperback)
A single girl's worst nightmare comes true when astrophysicist Mickey Coleman sleeps with a coworker who videotapes their night together. Now he demands another night with Mickey or he will make the tape public. Rather than yield to such an outrageous ultimatum, Mickey decides to steal the tape. Unsuccessful on her own, Mickey hires a man with mob connections. Until Mickey comes along, Dominic Corlucci values self-preservation at all costs. One slip and he could loose two years of work or his life. He agrees to help Mickey much against his better judgement, despite her obvious attempt at deception with her wigs and spandex. The result is scintillating romance that makes their toes curl, even as Dominic risks blowing his case. Author Kathleen O'Reilly pens an engaging romance in IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU. Quirky characterizations add zest to a fun tale that combines comedy and intrigue in a light mix readers will treasure. Both Mickey and Dominic are forced to think outside the box, yet manage to still remain to their characters. Indeed, Mickey's love of the stars puts a light in her eye that Dominic cannot walk away from, despite his better judgement. An engaging read, IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU makes an excellent, light read that comes highly recommended.
