Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
A playful blend of romance, humor and light suspense, Brandt's latest contemporary (after True North) pairs control freak David Gamble, head of Gamble records, with the unglamorous and ungainly Kylie Rogers. Different in every way from her petite, blond and incredibly talented sister, Robyn, who records for Gamble Records, Kylie is the odd duck in her family and a disaster magnet, which David learns firsthand. Kylie and David meet and share a passionate kiss at his party when he catches her trying to escape through a window to avoid a man with a runaway mouth. Kylie gives David a false name and then takes off, but she soon finds herself face-to-face with the handsome entrepreneur when Robyn arranges a job for her in the Gamble accounts department. From the moment Kylie is employed, however, small acts of sabotage surface in the company, which leaves David torn between his growing attraction to Kylie and the suspicion that she might be the saboteur. Brandt maintains a delightful balance between control and confusion and pads her story with a cast of well-drawn ancillary characters. A few far-fetched coincidences may give readers pause but, overall, this fun, feel-good romance is the perfect pick-me-up for rainy days.

4.0 out of 5 stars amusing romantic suspense, October 9, 2002
At a party hosted by Gamble Records CEO David Gamble, guest Kylie Rogers uses the first opportunity to escape the boredom of the lout with her by climbing out a window. However, Kylie will never make it as a cat burglar as she lands in a hedge. David watching her performance frees her from her predicament. She tells David that she is Kylie McGillicuddy before kissing him and escaping in a red Mustang.

David Gamble wants to see the fascinating Kylie again so he searches for his mysterious guest, but fails to find her. Meanwhile, Kylie's sister, the hottest singer under company contract, uses her influence to obtain an accounting job for her sibling with Gamble Records. At fist David is delighted to see her again but when costly errors begin appearing in accounting David wonders if his new hire, who he is attracted to, is trying to destroy him.

Though tracing a red Mustang does not seem so difficult, readers will enjoy RECORD TIME, an amusing romantic suspense novel that is a top ten hit for Beverly Brandt. The lead couple is a delightful pair and the support cast, especially her sister, propel the story line forward. As the plot moves briskly between industry intrigue and humorous romantic interludes, both sides of the tale blend nicely together to provide an enjoyable novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, silly escapist reading, September 20, 2005
By Donna K. "bookcrosser" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
Kylie is a likeable heroine with a heart of gold, however she always finds herself in some sort of klutzy mess, giving the book a slapstick-type of humorous edge. Someone is sabataging the company she works for and setting all the evidence to point to Kylie. As the owner of the company, kind-hearted David he finds himself torn between falling in love her and facing the compelling evidence against her. After a rather slow start, this story eventually leads into an intriquing plot of investigating this corporate embezzlement, as well as fascinating insights into the record producing industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful read, December 9, 2008
It's a fairly standard romance plot--ugly duckling heroine and the wealthy businessman with emotional issues hero--but Beverly Brandt makes it sparkle.

Kylie is a well-meaning disaster coming close to, but not falling into slapstick, and David has a horror of being made a laughingstock--a result that seems guaranteed if he's around Kylie for any length of time.

The plots around the homeless alcoholic brother and loud obnoxious mother could have easily become cliches, but didn't.

As I've come to expect from this author, there are laughs that are underlined with seriousness. A wonderful read.
