Actually, this was pretty good!

Oh pleeeeeease - do all these Harlequins have to have main characters with loveless childhoods? Anyway, this is just the second one of this "Harlequin Presents" series that I have read. There was some actual substance to this one which I must give credit to the author for. In a short book - with the required intimate encounters, it is hard to develop in-depth characters. As I have done in the past, I judge these short books against similar ones rather than a more meaty Regency or longer novel which has more space for character development. Ricardo, a rather ruthless businessman wants to gain some insider information on a high-class party planning company that he wants to take over. To do that, he pretends that he wants to contract several parties and see what they are doing for others. He tags along with Carly Carlisle, one of the three founders of the company. Told by the husband of one of the other partners that Carly is out to get a rich man and is always hot-to-trot, Ricardo is rather rude and obnoxious to her. He has a disgust of greedy, manipulative women. As you can tell by the book's title, Carly has yet to find ANY man - at least not one she wants to sleep with! There is a good deal of miscommunication since Ricardo looks at innocent incidents with a jaundiced eye and Carly believes him to be a rather nasty, mean spirited and angry individual. The book follows their jaunts to two or three parties in fancy locales before the inevitable meeting of the minds and bodies occurs! There were some rather strange scenes - why Carly lets Ricardo rip her robe off at the hotel before they even attempt to be intimate was rather bizarre. Do all party planning clients do that? They never really expressed (to each other) what sad childhoods they had, though that was one thing they had in common. For a little harmless escape, you will find this book enjoyable, while you wing your way to fabulous, exciting parties in your mind.
