Publisher Description
The third novel in Janet Evanovich's Elsie Hawkins series.
Hank Mallone knows he’s in trouble when Maggie Toone agrees to pretend to be his wife in order to improve his rogue’s reputation. Will his harebrained scheme to get a bank loan for his business backfire once Maggie arrives in his small Vermont town and lets the gossips take a look?
Maggie never expected her employer to be drop-dead handsome, but she’s too intrigued by his offer to say no...and too eager to escape a life that made her feel trapped. The deal is strictly business, both agree, until Hank turns out to be every fantasy she ever had.

"Maggie Toone was a tempting firecracker who'd make his life delightful hell if he let her pretend to be his wife in order to improve his rogue's reputation. "

" another so so story. I wish that the novel the protagonist was working on was a real story. It is more interesting. "

" Cute book with quirky characters (Evanovich trademark!) quick read. "
— Michelle, 5/14/2011 -
" lighthearted romance - kind of well - I dont know. Did not like the voice reading the book. <br/>would have preferred to read this one rather than listen to. <br/> "
— Peggy, 5/9/2011 -
" Typical nineties romance. Man needs a wife so that his banker-father will lend him money so that man can develop his organic apple farm. Woman needs money and agrees to be his temp wife. They fall in love. Blah, blah, blah. If you like Janet Evanovich, you'll like this book. Fast, good read. "

" Loved this book. I think I will read more of Janet Evanovich. So happy I discovered a new author I like. "
— Rebecca, 4/21/2011 -
" Fast and cute read. Janet Evanovich never disappoints with her steaminess. It was a little too abrupt for me but at least I was never bored. "
— Jen, 4/21/2011 -
" Cute. Good book to read to get my mind of things that are bothering me. "
— Hope4flowers, 3/17/2011 -
" Not a Stephanie Plum novel....but okay. "
— Sara, 2/20/2011 -
" This was a fun, fast read that at times was laugh out loud funny. The main characters, Hank and Maggie, had 6 months to get to know eachother and fall in love and I would have preferred if Evanovich would have made better use of that time. "
— Shea, 2/18/2011 -
" Small town romance w/a grand plot. Fits right into the Evanovich formula that always makes me smile. "
— Arica, 2/11/2011 -
" Cute. If only real life was like this:) I still enjoyed her Stephanie Plum books the most. "
— Jane, 2/4/2011 -
" It was a cute story. Not much depth. A quick read, short. "
— Carol, 1/23/2011 -
" Fun shallow. Reminded my of Stephanie Plum. Can Evanovitch do anything new/different?? But still it made me laugh! "
— Andrea, 12/23/2010 -
" Listened to this in the car. Basically one step from Nora Roberts (whom I've never read). Man and woman have a business arrangment, but fall immediately in love within 4 hours. Not credible, but a very mindless listen for my commute. "
— Ruth, 12/20/2010
