The Lady in Red
A Red-Hot Kisser Who Liked to Play with Fire...
Zach Bennett loved a mystery, and he found the alluring seductress who'd invaded his sanctuary impossibly intriguing! Red was his favorite color, and Cassidy Stuart glittered in a slinky red-sequined sheath that awakened his appetite for adventure ... and ignited a hunger for the lady herself.
Cassidy groaned when she realized she'd mistaken Zach, the enigmatic genius who'd made a fortune designing toys, for the secret contact who'd promised the young reporter a story that could make her career. When his addictive lips made her confess that Zach's company was under attack, and that she was trying to discover who was determined to betray him, Zach welcomed the lovely sleuth into his office - ad vowed to make her part of his life.
Cassidy had sacrificed her childhood to raise her brother, yet she'd fallen for a man who still had his toys. Zach warned her he wouldn't play fair when he played to win her love. Could she learn to count on the hero who'd captured her soul?

"The Lady in Red" is the story of Cassidy and Zach.
When multimillionaire and toy inventor Zach spots a gorgeous lady in red in his own party, he cannot help but pursue her and steal a kiss. He soon realizes she's an intruder, and the object of his fascination manages to escape. He chases her down to realize that Ms Cassidy Stuart is a reporter, investigating an espionage plot relating to his own company!
But while Zach appears to be falling head over heels in love, Cassidy remains wary. After all, she was hurt by a man in her teens, and since then has devoted her life to her younger brother's upbringing. Zach however, has other plans, and while she might initially scoff his admiration for toys and teddy bears, she soon falls in love with them, and the man herself.
A very sweet read with a thrilling plot, heartwarming love between the leads and a stellar hero. He was so in touch with the child within him, yet so passionately manly and in love with the heroine- the ying yang combo was fascinating to read. The heroine was a tough nut to crack, but the hero's selfless admiration melted her heart.
Enjoyed it! The ending was SO sweet!

Ok, da dove inizio?
Dalla cover italiana, dai.
Un pappagallo.
C'è davvero un pappagallo in primo piano.
UN PAPPAGALLO. UN P-A-P-P-A-G-A-L-L-O!
Ora, magari si potrebbe pensare che questa felice coppietta abbia un pappagallo da compagnia, anziché il classico cane di famiglia.
Ebbene NO.
Un pappagallo?
Uccidetemi. ORA!
Matt-qualcosa ha un'azienda di giocattoli molto famosa, quindi i soldi gli escono praticamente da lì dietro.
Cosa fa allora, una sera, per far passare il tempo? Organizza feste nella sua villa enorme, e chi incontra lì? Una ragazza bellissima in un abito rosso provocante che darà il titolo a questo gioiellino di libro.
Alla seconda pagina i due finiscono in camera da letto, ma Cassidy dice "Ehi ehi, aspetta! Non sono qui per fare le capriole sul letto".
In pratica, lei è una giornalista che ha ricevuto una soffiata sul nuovo videogioco che la società di Matt-qualcosa sta lanciando. Uno interno al gruppo vuole vendere l'idea ad un'altra società.
Sapete come si chiama il videogame?
"Il gioco". Si chiamerà "il gioco". E' semplice ma intrigante.
Ehm, COSAA?? D:
Il tempo passa (un solo giorno, un dannatissimo giorno) e lei finisce di nuovo in camera di Matt. Fanno quello che devono fare.
Lui la prese tra le braccia e la sdraiò sul letto tra i pupazzi.
Sì, proprio tra i "pupazzi". Questo è talmente ossessionato dai giocattoli, che non solo ha 5 peluches sul letto, ma ha trenini sparsi per casa. Non è il classico tipo da collezione di farfalle, ma di treni! E quando finisce di fare all'ammmmore con lei, si alza e si mette a giocare. HAHAHAHAH *risata isterica*
E ha pure l'orologio di Topolino HAHAHAHAH *risata isterica*
Ma lui non è l'unico ad essere fuori come un balcone.
Cassidy viene rapita da questi tizi che vogliono rubare a Matt-qualcosa l'idea geniale de IL GIOCO, e lei che fa? Si dispera? Si strappa i capelli? Cerca aiuto? GRIDA? MA OVVIO CHE NO! Si mette a costruire castelli con le costruzioni che trova nello sgabuzzino in cui la tengono rinchiusa...
Devo andare avanti?
No, non è necessario...
PS. Ovviamente il tizio ha tipo una quarantina d'anni.
