Customer Reviews

a wonderful read

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.

Fun, silly escapist reading

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.

Hillarious

Kylie Rogers is a walking disaster. Wherever she goes trouble always forllows her. Like falling out a window into the shrubbery at David Gambles feet, to setting his recording studio on fire & crashing into his Jag. She just can't help herself. David lives his life in a orderly fashion. So why is he so attracted to someone like Kylie who is the complete opposite of everything he wants in a woman.

Queen of humorous romantic suspense strikes again!

I loved TRUE NORTH, and was delighted to see another winner from Beverly Brandt! Kylie's an intriguing blend of calm and chaos and the sparks fly when she meets the man of her dreams when falling backwards out of his window.I can't wait to read ROOM SERVICE in May!

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.Harriet Klausner
