An average read, the heroine is a reporter who lives for the job. Her father disappeared when she was 12 and she became an adult that night, her mother never got over what happened and she made herself into a person who depended on herself.
Her boss gives her a story, dating in the nineties and she chooses the hero thinking he has an over-grown ego because of the article in the magazine. The hero is a Texas Ranger whose friends pulled a prank on him and he had no idea about the article being published.
The reason I didn't enjoy the book, the romance didn't work for me, they decide to help each other out, he will find out what happened with her father and she will help him hold off the women who responded to the magazine article.
She finds out her father died and didn't abandon them but her career is still top priority. I felt that it was the hero who made all the compromise and I didn't believe that they loved each other atleast not that soon.

What can I say? Yet again another typical Mills and Boon Silhouette Temptation whatever else extra names you want to add to the romance novels. (Why do they have so many details on the front cover? to confuse and bamboozle the reader into submission?)
This one is set in the late 1990's (I lived it, I know the games.) Career woman, careerman, all the drama of both having to 'pretend'. (not going to tell you of what though!) Ugh!
We never really get into Matt's skin, except to see him as a horny young thing who is also a Texas Ranger. That fact of him being a RANGER is soooo attractive to the reader that of course you are going to swoon at each and every hot breath or cheeky grin he gives out. Again, Ugh.
Dee's character is either full on about to cry or uncertain of her professional role. We never really get to the depth of her character either, but hey, who cares when there is hot sex to be had, right?
Like I said, typical hot and heavy romance, but with no real substance. If you lived the 90's you will understand how pathetic the sexism is at times both for the men and the women but otherwise, just use it for kindling at your next winter fire, coz that is about as hot as you will get.
