An absolute deeeelight!

This book is by far the best Temptation edition I?ve read in a long time. Of course, there are other editions which are very good as well, but this one is outstanding. I was ABSOLUTELY mesmerized from the story and the two distinctive, idiosyncratic characters who pull this book out of the ordinary. Cara Summers will hold you spellbounded right from the start. And if that?s the case, you usually know that you?re about to read a great book! Actually, while reading this book you have the feeling to watch a movie 'without any filmcut'. So you can be sure it defines the term "page turner" with sexy characters that kept me smiling, funny dialogue that rang true, and situations that made it impossible to put the book down until the end.What happens when a somewhat uptight, by-the-book Boston socialite and an easy going P.I. get together? Well, let's just say the result is hot...and definitely passionate! When Tyler Sheridan discovers through the personal ads that her groom isn?t planning to show up for their wedding, she thinks it can?t get any worse. That is, until she hooks up with seriously sexy P.I. Nick Romano to find her erstwhile fiancé...and ends up wishing her groom had taken out his ad sooner...Nick Romano has had it ? with the detective business and with women! But when gorgeous, desperate Tyler shows up at his door, all of a sudden he is considering the unthinkable - to postpone his move to California for a few more days. What can he do but help her out? Only he?d never guessed how good they?d be together ? in bed and out. But Tyler?s still wearing another man?s ring...though he tried to make sure for not much longer!Nick and Tyler, from opposite backgrounds, couldn't be more different and that's what makes their relationship so exciting. From the first moment on, sparks fly though both try to ignore that ? very unsuccessfully. But you will never question the sudden closeness between the two of them! Ms. Summers has a way with characterization and readers will love the hero and heroine. I've been reading Temptations for years, and this book is right up there with my favorites of all time. I love it when I really laugh out loud with a book. In ?OTHERWISE ENGAGED? Cara Summers takes you on a roller coaster ride of romance and a little suspense. She knows how to capture a reader's attention and refuses to let it go. Absolutely wonderful reading! Prepare yourself for a wild ride!

Very highly recommended

OTHERWISE ENGAGED, the January selection of The Personal Touch! miniseries is not to be missed. Cara Summers presents the story of Tyler Sheridan, who discovers through the personal ads that her groom will miss the wedding. When she seeks out a Private Detective to find her fiancé, Tyler meets just the wrong guy at just the right time. When these direct opposites meet, the chemical reaction is extraordinary!Thy have nothing in common except passion. Tyler's a Boston socialite and president of her company. She hires Nick Romano to find her erstwhile fiancé. From the first glimpse of the sexy, hunky Nick, Tyler's hooked. In the six months she'd known Richard, she'd never known him to stir anything close to the reactions Nick produces instantly. Sheridans don't hit people and they never loose their temper. They certainly don't fall for PIs. But in Nick's company, Tyler finds herself behaving in strange and different ways.From the moment Tyler shows him her grandmother's recommendation, Nick finds Tyler getting to him. He'd already had the electric and phone disconnected, his boxes are packed, and Nick is ready to pull up stakes, leaving the world of PIs behind for becoming a lawyer. Then Tyler sashays into his office, convincing him to accept the case. His instant attraction is only cooled by the need to find out what Richard is up to. When Nick realizes that the missing in a fake, a liar and a kidnapper, he becomes determined to find the truth about the missing fiancé. And while they are otherwise engaged, Nick and Tyler may find that their hearts have a mind of their own.If not for the personal touch, these dynamic characters would never have met. Even the twist of the title provides a nice giggle with its play on words. Indeed, Cara Summers creates a humorous, highly entertaining contemporary romance with her delectable writing style. Very highly recommended.
