Customer Reviews

An absolute delight!

Reinventing Romeo is a sure cure for the February blahs! It was great fun to visualize Alex Romero, an unwilling member of the witness protection program, whisked away by FBI agent Kate Ellison to a working class neighborhood in Cleveland. Life without gofers, yes-men, and limos - quite an adjustment for an entrepreneur used to getting his own way without any questions! Even more astounding to Alex is the fact that unlike most women of his acquaintance, Kate seems impervious to his wealth and charm. Kate isn't quite as indifferent to Alex as he thinks, but her first priority is keeping this crucial witness alive until he testifies at an important trial. The dialogue sparkles, the humor is delightful, and the secondary characters make the Cleveland neighborhood come alive. I'm a bookseller and have recommended this book to a number of my customers. Many of them have come back to ask when Connie Lane's next book comes out. It can't be soon enough for me!

Lots of Fun!

This book was a whole lot of fun. Good characters. Funny situations. Kept me interested and laughing. The book is set in Cleveland, my home town. Great fun reading about places I recognize and the author captured the flavor of the city perfectly. Bingo, bowling and pork and sauerkraut. It's that kind of place! I especially like the gutsy heroine of this book and the hero is to-die-for! A five-star read!

A Fun Sexy Read

Two opposite people find they have more in common than eitherwould have thought. A trite plot? NOT when written by Connie Lane.Reinventing Romeo is a wonderful, fun, sexy read. I highly recommendit! Carly Phillips...

A great read

Perhaps the only people to rival the power of multi-billionaire Alex Romero are the President and Bill Gates and many observers feel the latter duo fall short. The tabloids have dubbed Alex "Romeo" because he seemingly can have just about any woman in the world. When a group asks Alex to launder money for them, he goes to the police, offering to testify against the criminals. The FBI soon learns that the thugs ordered a hit against Alex.Alex scoffs at the idea that someone wants him dead until a pizza deliveryman makes the attempt. Agent Kate Ellison saves Alex's life and he knows he must hide. Kate and Alex move into a working class neighborhood until the trial is completed. Alex struggles with life among the masses, landing in strange predicaments. As Kate and Alex begin to fall in love, they struggle to elude a dangerous individual trying to eliminate them before Alex testifies.Connie Lane has written a hilarious romantic comedy that has readers laughing as they observe the sophisticated hero feebly bumbling his way through his new life. The heroine is a strong individual who serves as a stalwart role model. The mystery adds spice to the tasty story line of REINVENTING ROMEO.Harriet Klausner

Reinventing Romeo

This was the most enjoyable contemporary thriller romance I have read in quite a while. If you enjoy Janet Evanovich's "One for the Money Series", you'll love this book too. She has a similar tongue and cheek humor that keeps you laughing as you turn each page. The heroine was not a silly goose, while Romeo was a flawed but loveable hunk. A must read!
