A quante di voi è capitato di spalancare le finestre di casa e trovare un uomo nudo sul balcone? Be', a Janet è successo e lei non sa ancora se essere terrorizzata o elettrizzata. 3 le ipotesi: a) è un maniaco sessuale con un debole per i camici bianchi (terrorizzata!) b) è un regalino di mammà che non perde occasione per presentarle improbabili co-artefici di futuri nipotini. (terrorizzata!!) c) è Gage, il nuovo vicino di casa e futuro collega. (elettrizzata!!!)
Lori Wilde can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to write. She even went to nursing school so she could have a schedule flexible enough to allow her to write on the side. She nursed for 20 years, working in a variety of settings from the newborn nursery to the recovery room, to dialysis. But she never lost her desire to write.
She sold her first book in 1994 to Silhouette Romance but later discovered she had a flair for comedy and branched out to Harlequin Duets and now, to Blaze.
Lori is an adventuresome soul who loves to travel. She’s taken flying lessons, completed two marathons, rode in a hot-air balloon, performed with a professional jazz band, traveled Europe as a teenager, hiked volcanoes in Hawaii, trod on glaciers in Alaska, shot white-water rapids, water-skied, snow-skied, raced all-terrain vehicles, bodysurfed in the Gulf of Mexico, and photographed grizzly bears in Yellowstone.
She lives in her native Texas, with her own real-life hero, Bill.
Gracie's fondest wish is to be a grandmother before she is fifty-two. Her sights are set on her daughter Janet to fulfill this. She is always setting Janet up with blind dates. When Janet finds a naked man on her patio she tells herself that her mother has gone too far. This is just the beginning of following Janet as she unknowingly tries to fulfill her mothers dream. Lots of laughs along with love in this book.
More hero than hotshot, but a great story to finish this series!
Janet is getting ready for her first day as a pediatrician when she finds a mostly naked man on her patio. Gage is embarrassed to be caught in this situation, but even more shocked when it turns out they are both now working for the same pediatric office! Janet is very independent and does not believe in love at first sight. Gage is a knight errant who just likes to save people. What happens when these two opposites are forced to work in close quarters? Read this to find out!
The pace is engrossing and the tone is uncertain yet hopeful with a character oriented storyline that has some steamy scenes. The characters are vibrant and engaging. Gage is a swoon-worthy hero and poor Janet doesn't know how to handle him. Fortunately for her, Gage knows just what to do! This is a sweet conclusion to the Heartthrob Hospital series.
I loved this book.Janet meets her neighbor Gage when she finds him outside her condo naked except for a charcoal bag holding his naughty bits.She finds out the same day he’s a doctor who’s going to be working in the same practice as she does.They end up sharing a office even. Janet’s mom has friends who tell her she’s never going to be a grandma unless she is by the age of 52.She takes it upon herself to find Janet eligible suitors.Janet ends up hiding under a table at a swanky work event to keep from getting introduced do someone her mom has for her.Gage goes under the table with her and I was laughing out loud. Please read this series.This is the 3rd installment.They’re laugh out loud books at a time when we’ve never needed laughter so much!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Things just haven’t been going Janet’s way. She’s estranged from her father, her mother meddles and, most recently, she finds a naked man on her patio, who turns out to be her upstairs neighbor, Gage. Things get worse. A fun story about opening up and finding true love and a HEA.
I can identify with Janet. She is independent, strong and didn't believe in true love. This wonderful story will wrap around your heart and make a believer out of you! Gage is so perfect for Janet, but will her father's non-nuturing ways keep her from falling in love? You will love this book!
Great story lots of funny scenes but also very serious ones. We get to watch Janet and Gage move from a fake engagement to the realization that they both need to face some issues in their past before they can move on to the future!
We are all worthy of love it just has to be with the right person. When you find your other half don’t walk away you both have to give your life and dreams to each other. The most important part of this story is never letting anyone else rule your whole life.
A 30 anni la dottoressa Janet Hunter è una donna realizzata con un lavoro che ama. Nonostante questo, sua madre Gracie dopo un consulto con la sua chiromante di fiducia si è messa in testa di trovarle l’uomo perfetto presentandole una sfilza di partiti improbabili. Un giorno tornando a casa da lavoro, Janet si ritrova un uomo completamente nudo sul terrazzo e non sa se esserne terrorizzata o divertita. Scoprirà poi che l’affascinante uomo nudo del balcone non è altri che Gage Gregory, il suo nuovo collega.
Ecco una novella come piace a me, veloce e senza troppi fronzoli e di una dolcezza tale da far cariare i denti. Gage un sant’uomo con la sindrome del crocerossino e Janet cinica e disillusa, gli opposti si attraggono. Una fake relationship da manuale, lui che per salvare lei dalle grinfie della madre stra ossessionata dal matrimonio dice che non serve presentare a Janet un uomo perché loro sono fidanzati, per poi trasformarsi in Amore con la A maiuscola. Banalotto ma comunque godibile. Gage è l’uomo ideale da Harmony: bello da infarto ma anche dolce e gentile praticamente una figura mitologica mentre Janet emotivamente distante per il rapporto traumatico con un padre assente. Veramente carino
"Per tutta la vita era stata convinta che l’amore romantico non esistesse, che fosse solo una favola. Invece si era sbagliata di grosso. L’amore esisteva, eccome. E lei l’aveva letto nella profondità degli occhi scuri di Gage."
Ero curiosa di leggere un titolo di questa nuova collana e devo dire che anche se altro non è che la classica storia stile "harmony sottiletta" è stata comunque una lettura molto carina e distensiva! L'incipit è sicuramente la cosa più originale e divertente, insomma non capita tutti i giorni di imbattersi in un uomo nudo sul proprio terrazzo, ancora più notevole se quel bell'uomo altri non è che un super famoso bambino prodigio/chirurgo-hollywodiano/pediatra XD Tra paparazzi, problemi familiari e una dolce storia d'amore si arriva al finale in un baleno! ;D
