From the back cover: Darcy was not good at pretending... Although she was a good secretary to Reed Hunter, Darcy Faversham became easily muddled when events around her got too hectic. Not much of a match for a London investor used to making split second decisions involving millions of dollars. But Reed did need her. Someone was sabotaging his business deals in America, and he wanted Darcy to pose as his lover on a trip to Florida, to call attention away from the real purpose of his visit. Darcy wasn't at all sure she could live up to the pressure. It was no good pretending she was in love with Reed - not when she really was... My thoughts: I first read this book more than 10 years ago and re-reading it again today, I still liked it. The heroine as you can read by the description seems a little, hmm... cant think of the right word - airheaded(?) so I couldn't really believe that she was a good secretary ^_^ but she seems to have a good heart, haha. I wouldn't say the book/story was so deep and dark, like the other HP novels I've read where the hero is a bastard, or hero/heroine has to get revenge, etc. etc. This book is just sweet and nice and lighthearted with a touch of humor. And its SO sweet that the hero actually loved the heroine for so long and was waiting for her to recover. The sort of love rival, Marc was also interesting and cute. It makes me wonder if he has an HP novel written where he's the hero, haha! Anyway, this book is a keeper. It just gives you a good feeling.
"A great from Carole Mortimer"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is one of Carole Mortimers finest stories which she wrote some years back. I have returned to it many times over to read and still find it great. The two main characters are really good together and as usual the writer adds a slice of mystery to the story line. There is a touch of sadness in it but the funny lines overule this by far. A pleasureable read.
GREAT! FANTASTIC READ! FROM BEGINNING TO END!

From the moment you open this book, it keeps you going straight through to the end. I read this book a few years ago and I have been anxiously looking forward to add it to my collection of her books. She is a great author. I have enjoyed her older books but the newer ones aren't as nice.
