This is the 1920's entry in Harlequin American Romance's mini-series, "A Century of American Romance". It is the lighthearted story of flapper Alice Fontaine and wealthy playboy Nicholas Crawford. Alice wants to become an actress and she crashes Nicholas Bradford's party in order to meet producer Tyler Bradford. Eventually, through Nick's help, she does. Nick is taken with Alice, and their relationship, which starts out as fancy-free, soon becomes more than that. Though most of the story is fun to read, the last part of the book turns serious, as Alice and Nick realize that Tyler Bradford, an important figure in both their lives by now, is involved in serious crime. How will this crisis end?This book was fun to read. Standout scenes include Alice's promotional bubble bath outside Gimbels; and Nick and Alice's moolit rooftop picnic, complete with strawberries and champagne, (an intensely romantic scene). Recommended.
