Catching

I will not go into the detailed description of this book because the other reviewers have already done that for you. This really is a good book, I did not give it 5 stars because there is too much deceit between the couple. The constant lies just kept stacking up on top of one another and it made their romance seem phony. Another loop-I could not understand why Cameron was so outdone when he went to Darci's real job (VP of Development for Jacobsen Enterprises) to confront her and then lies about his identity while conveniently picking her brother for info. It was as if he felt threaten by her career.I still consider this to be a good book, but beware there's lots of deceit...

A great summer read

Cameron O'Brien has met his match in Darci Sanders. For what the hero doesn't know is that when you judge someone on appearances, they might not be what they appear.For Darci, although she's slinging pellers in a greasy spoon diner, is actually an heiress with an eccentric grandfather who feels that all his grandchildren need to experience all aspects of the company--and this is Darci's two weeks at the diner.Of course, her grandfather is also a matchmaker.Twist Pretty Woman and My Fair Lady with the fact that the girl knows what's going on, and you've got a fun, fast frolic that's sure to delight. Set in my hometown, I found it humorous and easy to read.

Matchmaking, betting, and true love -- Highly recommended

Grandpa Joe indoctrinates family members in the family corporation beginning at the ground level. One day Darci Sanders intends to replace her father when he retires, but for two weeks, she proves her skills by waitressing. Of course, brother Harry bets her a thousand dollars that she cannot make it through her new assignment. So Darci slings hash at Grandpa Joe's Good Eats and lives for the day she escapes grease and cotton candy pink uniforms. Despite the ugly pink uniform, Darci looks good to Cameron O'Brien. Cameron always has a bet going with best friend Lee Reinhart. So it is no surprise when Lee challenges him to polish their waitress into something "socially acceptable." Neither realizes she has not only overheard their tomfoolery, but has social skills that rival their own. So she plays along to teach Cameron a lesson, but Darci best guard her heart or the lesson just might be on her.Author Michele Dunaway turns the theme of My Fair Lady on its ear in CATCHING THE CORPORATE PLAYBOY. Matchmaking, betting, and true love come together in this light, romantic comedy that keeps the reader gently amused. Cameron's arrogance meets its match when Darci shows him the beauty of a sunrise and a good time. But lies and deliberate manipulations must always give way to the truth, especially when hearts become involved. Both Cameron and Darci have a lot to learn about risk taking and honesty if she is planning on CATCHING THE CORPORATE PLAYBOY. Highly recommended.
