To all the world, Susan McKenzie, successful romance editor, seemed to be the perfect heroine. But there was one thing missing in her life, and that was the perfect hero. Then she met Dr. Adam Gallagher. He seemed to fit the role perfectly; surely together they would live happily ever after. But Adam didn't seem to want to play the hero's role. Aloof and somewhat mysterious, his professional detachment could drive any woman crazy. Was he throwing a twist into Susan's well-plotted life?
Amusing and sweet -- gentle send-up of Harlequin Romances!

I discovered this old Silhouette Romance in a dusty used bookstore, and what a treat it is. Without giving away too much of the plot, it revolves around a young woman who is an employee (editor, I believe) of the publishers of Silhouette Romance books. (Yes, we're talking about the same company that published this book!) The hero is insecure and annoyed by the absurd fantasy of these books. His mom reads them, this woman he is interested in reads them, but these "fantasy" stories are full of strong, handsome, rich heroes with names like "Thorne" and "Rock" and how absurd is that? He is none of these things, he thinks, and so he feels that he cannot live up to this woman's expectations.I really liked this book. There is more to this book than just the fact that this woman works for Silhouette Books, however, that detail amused me no end. Only Debbie Macomber could pull off a tale such as this!
