I don't read much Harlequin, except for Lynne Graham's, I guess, and i don't like her books unconditionally either. But this one is absolutely wonderful.

Cesar Valverde is a darn smart, filthy rich, amazingly sexy... sarcastic, cold, inhuman... parental-neglect survivor. Yet Cesar would do *anything* for his terminally-ill godfather. To please him, Cesar will fake falling in love and getting engaged to his godfather's "pet". I guess on the inside Cesar is quite sweet.:-)
The "pet" would be our heroine, Dixie; bookish, dowdy, unintentionally-hilarious... warm and kind-hearted.

Dixie's to her throat in debt (due to her family), so she'll act as Cesar's fiancee. Around one third of the book watch Cinderella bloom, and Cesar fight total meltdown tooth and nail.

Then watch the tables really turn and Cesar fall head-over-heels for Dixie's warmth. It's quite endearing. He learns to watch his tongue and gets hilariously jealous. First he growls like a grizzly bear, then he does all he can to ingratiate himself with Dixie (the parts where he's trying to get Dixie's pets on his side, and where he quotes Dixie as he turns down a model's sexual advances are just so funny). There's more to go. From all of Graham's couples, i love Dixie and Cesar best.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant....!!!!!!!!!!!!!, November 22, 2000

This book is prehaps the best so far. I loved every thing about it from Cesar's sarcastic dry comments to Dixie's airhead complex. She is so fresh, she says anything on her mind and is a complete innoncent. Cesar on the other hand is cynical, sarcastic and larger than life. I don't know if the author intented it to be funny but I found lots of bits really funny. Cesar is really a sweet charachter which is shown with the way he works to win Dixie's love. His jelousy of Scott (who Dixie imagens herself to be in love with for a short while) shows a vunerable side of him that makes me think WHERE WERE YOU ALL MY LIFE!!! AND ISN'T IT TIME THAT YOU CAME TO ME?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Great, Great Book!, September 2, 1999

As always, Lynne Graham delivered a wonderful read. This book, as ALL her books, has GREAT: gorgeous billionaire hero, virginal heroine, memorable dialogue & scenes, romantic setting, wonderful chemistry between hero and heroine. I have read all her books, and they're all excellent. I eagerly await her newest release. If you enjoy reading romances that are pure escape, romantic, Cinderella-type romances, I highly recommend Lynne Graham.
