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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Total Fun Romp, June 21, 2005

This review is from: What Phoebe Wants (Harlequin Flipside) (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved this book, which is totally charming and a lot of fun. It's chick lit of the most enjoyable kind. The writer has a sensational ability to get inside her character's down-to-earth head and the guys are very sexy and great reads, too. I liked this better than *Bridgett Jones* and I'd loved to see a movie made from this book. Reading this was a great way to spend a couple of hours in the AC on a hot day.

This review is from: What Phoebe Wants (Harlequin Flipside) (Mass Market Paperback)

Her husband Steve dumped Phoebe Frame for a younger cocktail waitress, but explained to his wife that he was dumping her for her good. The car salesman tells her the same thing when she goes to buy a used vehicle after her car died. At Central Care Network Clinic where she works as a lowlife transcriptionist, her boss Dr. Ken Patterson gropes her while making pass at Phoebe insisting he only wants to help her relax. Phoebe threatens him with an alphabet soup sexual harassment case.

Already over the top with all this male kindness, Phoebe runs into Jeff Fischer and takes his head off for touching her. Jeff insists he was trying to keep his balance. Jeff installs a new transcription system for Phoebe, but his efforts to get her to out with him fail. Phoebe mistrusts anything that contains a Y-Chromosome; Jeff, who is very attracted to her, knows he must mount a campaign to persuade that not all Ys act as if they are doing you favor; instead dating her would do him a favor.

This amusing contemporary romance stars a woman, who will no longer take it from men insisting they are taking care of her best interests. However, as Phoebe takes charge of her life, she wonders what Jeff wants from her besides a roll in the sack. Readers will take delight in Jeff, as he struggles to prove to his beloved that she can be independent all she wants as long as she allows him to be there when she needs him and visa versa.

5.0 out of 5 stars Myers at her best!, June 22, 2005

This review is from: What Phoebe Wants (Harlequin Flipside) (Mass Market Paperback)

Who wouldn't love this book? There is nothing better than reading about a female in charge of her own destiny who refuses to take crap from anymore (especially men) anymore. I applaud Cindi Myers for writing about a heroine who stands up for her rights instead of a female who allows herself to be a doormat. Rich characterization, plot driven, sexy, emotional are just a few words to describe Cindi's work. I have long been a fan of her books, and What Phoebe Wants only further proves why.
