The Trophy Wife

I remember reading this book years ago and I enjoy reading it very much. I love this series of The Coltons Family. And I enjoy reading and I love the characters and their story they are telling me.

Dr. Tripp Calhoun is one of many foster children that stayed at the Colton ranch. Now back for a rare visit he runs into the very grown up Amber Colton. Amber learns that Tripp is in the running for a very important job. Tripp's problem is that the people in charge of making the hiring decisions are looking for a family man. Amber overhears this and offers herself as a temporary fiancee. Tripp gets more than he bargains for when his feelings for Amber are more than friendly. Amber is attracted to Tripp, but she is having a hard time breaking through the walls he has put between them. Tripp and Amber make a very interesting couple. In some ways they are complete opposites. She comes from a rich pampered lifestyle and is used to men falling all over her. Tripp's childhood was the complete opposite and he has had to struggle for most of his life. Men are always trying to seduce Amber, so it is a complete shock when she has to play the seductress to get Tripp's attention. Tripp and Amber are also alike in many ways. They are both educated, stubborn, strong-willed people. Both have big hearts and care a great deal for those less fortunate than them. Tripp and Amber give us not only a taste of romance, but comedy as well. The food fight in the Colton's immaculate dining room was hilarious. The most fascinating thing in this book was that Rand and Emily finally meet face to face with the `real' Meredith. I cannot wait for the next book in the hope that Meredith finally gets to come home and reconnect with the rest of her family. If you have not read the previous books in the series than I encourage you to do so.
