5.0 out of 5 stars
MyShelf.com Book Reviewer, June 30, 2002
This review is from: And The Winner Gets...Married! (Dynasties: The Connellys) (Silhouette Desire) (Paperback)
Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it . . . Justin Connelly, Vice-President of Marketing for Connelly Corporation, was a member of one of Chicago's prominent families. He had recently been voted as one of the most eligible bachelors in Chicago. He reluctantly gave in to his sister's pleas to participate in a charity auction, where the proceeds would benefit families of slain police officers. He would be auctioned off to the highest bidder; and, his reputation guaranteed that he would generate a high price. As he stepped out onto the stage, immediately surrounded with high bids, he was suddenly fearful about who would 'win' him. He would have liked nothing better than to be back in his office, working late at night along side his attractive and efficient assistant, Kim Lindgren. Dreams have a way of coming true . . . Kimberly 'Kim' Lindgren was alone in life, making her living as the highly organized assistant to Justin Connelly. She secretly harbored romantic fantasies that centered around her sexy Supervisor, but she knew that it was ludicrous to dwell on dreams that could never come true. Justin was a part of the high society class that only dated fashionable models and blue bloods. He would never lower his standard to notice a meek assistant such as herself. When his sister invited her to the charity auction, and persuaded her to out bid any offers on her brother, she was shocked at the feelings that arise. Would it be possible to turn her dream into a reality? Metsy Hingle has an astonishing writing talent that never disappoints. I am constantly amazed at how her books always demand to be read in one sitting. She effortlessly writes with a smooth writing style that sparkles as it is savored. Reading and reviewing her books is always a great pleasure.

Wonderful character driven romance -- Highly recommended, June 8, 2002
This review is from: And The Winner Gets...Married! (Dynasties: The Connellys) (Silhouette Desire) (Paperback)
When his brother Daniel assumed the throne of Altaria, Justin Connelly does the work of two men as vice president of marketing. He has weathered an attempt on his brother's life, a crash of the corporation's computers and now a fiasco with the firm's marketing campaign. Worse, his sister plans to put him the auction block, for charity of course. Shockingly, his executive assistant Kimberly Lindgren wins the bid for a romantic getaway with him. Kim carefully conceals her feelings for her boss with a proper business demeanor, her femininity with appropriate business attire, and her long sensuous hair with a twist. When Justin turns the assignment of putting together a date for the charity auction, she simply designs a date that would fulfill her own hidden fantasies regarding Justin. But when she appears at the auction, Justin's sister demands that she accept a cashier's check and bid for Justin herself. Once again author Metsy Hingle demonstrates her flair for writing romance combined with stunning sensuality in AND THE WINNER GETS...MARRIED. Despite the threat of sexual harassment lawsuits, author Hingle successfully pens an office romance that is at once convincing yet touching. Heroine Kim struggles with the usual virginal/class issues, coming vibrantly alive with Hingle's deft pen. Hero Justine's unsuccessfully attempts to resist the lure of love because of the forbidden surroundings, proving that love can overcomes common sense. This character driven romance provides wonderful entertainment, coming highly recommended.

This review is from: And The Winner Gets...Married! (Dynasties: The Connellys) (Silhouette Desire) (Paperback)
Plot description on this book's Amazon.com page. This story has a continuing plot that goes through the rest of the series, DYNASTIES: THE CONNELLYS. Good characters, story moves quickly and nice sexual tension between the characters.
