Great story with many twists, parental discord & finding love

Vicki Thompson is an author whose books I can't put down once open. To me this is her best. Two lawyers get involved when she, trying to stop her parents pending divorce comes up with a wild idea of deceipt to bring them together. Her cohort, a seeming staid dull guy agrees to become her gigilo lover. But she does not know he had been wild in high school. When they meet her parents, he is kissing her wildly. She puts her hand in his back jeans pocket to show their sexual involvement. The parents are appalled that she is going with such a creep and try to break it up. Yet he bonds with them. As he does, their objections decrease and affection for each other re-unites. She had wanted a real lover but never envisioned him until their ploy breaks down her defenses and love develops. An outsider tries to steal her away using a ruse. They rush to find her. Love starts to develop. However she had told her mother that the gigilo would wrongly claim he was a legal partner. He learns of her deception and gets furious. Will her parents stay together? Can she return to work along side with her deep love for him and his disdain? The book is delighful fun w/some twists and very hard to put down. I got emersed in it. You will too. I highly recommend this book to anyone who vaguely enjoys Vicki Thompson. A+

Absolutely The Funniest Book I Ever Read!

I like romatic comedies, and this one is the best. It made the roundsof the women in the office where I used to work, and all gave it athumbs up!Lynn and Tony are both lawyers in the same office. Lynnneeds an unsuitable fiance to unite her parents in opposition todefuse their upcoming divorce. Buttoned down Tony becomes bad boyTony, complete with cigarette pack in rolled up T-shirt sleeve.Thescenario in the airport where Tony carries Lynn's mother into theLadies Room after she passes out and deposits her rear in one basinand feet in another is a scream. However, the makeout scene in theback seat of a car is a close second....

Absolutely Perfect!

Vicki Lewis Thompson did a wonderful, wonderful job with this book. It was action, humor, and excitement from page one! Laughters and tons of sexual attraction between Lynn and Tony all the way. I felt it was a very colorful book. It's definitely one of the best L & L I've read in a long time!
