Publisher Description
With a rare blend of humor, erotic tension, and dead-on emotional truth, New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann weaves this delightful romance of a man and woman brought together by chance, bound by choice, and in trouble deeper than they realize.
Like a knight in a fairy tale, he appeared from out of nowhere and rescued her at the last moment. Now, sizing up the man who’d saved her purse and driven off her attackers, aspiring Boston entrepreneur Chelsea Spencer considered that this good-looking stranger could fit another role—not to mention a tuxedo—equally well. By the end of the week, Chelsea was scheduled to get married as a condition for earning the inheritance necessary to save her fledgling business. There was only one problem: she was short a groom.
Johnny Anziano would have been satisfied with a date, but the woman he’d dashed in to save during a street mugging had proposed much more than that. For two weeks’ “work,” he’d earn $75,000 and a luxurious tropical island vacation. By saying a simple, meaningless “I do,” he could save Chelsea one more time. But this time they were facing something a lot more dangerous than a gang of street thugs—their attraction for each other.

"This book surprised me. I expected some light "fluff" as most of Brockmann's short stories are. This book was really quite good. Johnny was a great, sexy, tender hero - a chef! Chelsea was a bit annoying with her anti-commitment sentiments, but overall a good match for Johnny."

" It was a cute romance. Kinda nice to read and relax with. "

" Really gd Cont marrg convnc, Boston "

" Not much to say about this book. It had potential, but I quickly lost interest because the main character Chelsea was such a snobby b***h. Poor little rich girl who doesn't get along with her family asks the man who saved her from being mugged to marry her so she can get her hands on her trust fund money from dear old Grandpa. Just a fluffy little Loveswept book. #800-something in the series of romances. Only picked this up because I needed something to listen to while I drove back and forth to Ohio. Good thing there were only 6 discs. Any longer and I wouldn't have made it to the end. Next time I will choose my audio book a little more carefully. "

" Acceptable is the word I would use for his one. Nothing out of the ordinary, but it did its job. "

" Very cute, a fun quick read, perfect for vacation. "
— Rhonda, 1/10/2014 -
" boring story caused lots of eye rolling. The author has made Chelsey be the stupid aggravating kind of heroine doing all kinds of illogical game playing. "
— Barbara, 12/29/2013 -
" I bought this because I'm such a huge Brockmann fan. This was in her earlier period, a Loveswept pub. I didn't think it had the characterization and depth I love, but it was still an entertaining read. "
— Andrea, 12/24/2013 -
" The story was pretty good...there was only maybe half a chapter where I couldn't stand Chelsea. Sometimes heroines just get on my nerves when they refuse to talk about their feelings and just assume they know the man's mind. "
— Me, 12/23/2013 -
" I got a little ways into this and realized I had read it before. If you want a quick, nothing special read, than this is the book for you. I laughed at a few places, but for the most part, it didn't do anything for me, this is one I could have skipped. "
— Season, 12/13/2013 -
" I doesn't matter how it ends. Chelsea is such an unpleasant bitch (redundant though that is) that I don't like the book. "
— Barbara, 11/3/2013 -
" The ending was rushed, but otherwise a good book. "
— Marilyn, 10/23/2013 -
" Very unrealistic story but fun and enjoyable all the way through! "
— Diane, 6/28/2013 -
" Cute idea, I just wish the characters in Brockmann's earlier romances just told each other how they felt! Sure, it would shorten the book by half, but would relieve my (and their!) aggravation! "
— Rochelle, 3/17/2013 -
" Excellent story. Great prose, interesting start to good finish. 9 of 10 stars "
