About the author
Heather MacAllister
126 books30 followersThis author also writes as Heather Allison.
Heather MacAllister lives in Texas and is married to her high-school sweetheart. Following the instructions in How to Get a Teen-Age Boy, and What to Do with Him When You Get Him by Ellen Peck, one of her all-time favorite books, she expressed an interest in his hobby — ham radio. He challenged her — learn Morse code and get her license, and he’d take her to the senior prom. She did, and currently sports her call sign, WB5RMA, on her car license plate.
Heather became addicted to romance novels in college, yet still managed to graduate and become a music teacher. And then her sons were born. Within seven months, nine baby-sitters quit, so she took pity on the childcare industry, quit teaching, and began avoiding housework by writing during her sons’ nap time.
Heather has published over 40 books with Harlequin. Her award-winning romantic comedies have been translated into 25 languages and published in dozens of countries.
Before she was published, Heather won the Romance Writer's of America Golden Heart Award. Her published novels have been nominated for the RWA RITA award three times, and eHarlequin.com readers voted LONE STAR SANTA favorite Laugh-Out-Loud book of 2006. In addition to awards for best Harlequin Romance and best Harlequin Temptation, Romantic Times Book Reviews has twice nominated Heather for a Career Achievement Award in Series Love and Laughter.
When she's not writing, Heather spends her time collecting vintage jewelry, watching fireworks displays, and killing plants.

Fun novella
After a crummy week or two I wanted to read something quick and fun. No tragedies or soul searing emotions, just entertaining with a few laughs. This novella was perfect. I loved the characters (especially the narrator), and will probably keep this in my emergency mood lifting section of my library.

May 30, 2021For a book with less than 300 pages, it took me a while to get to the end. It was blah with a little spice? It may be because the book came out in 2003, who knows

Light little series romance. This one has a magical skirt, rather than traveling pants. It draws male attention. The heroine is a computer geek who's been neglecting her feminine side, even though she wants a boyfriend. When one of her fellow geeks tells her she's just not girlfriend material, her outrage stirs her to make changes. She takes a 2-day rental on a San Francisco flat, and winds up in a conversation with a hot construction foreman across the street--a guy who doesn't realize she's female, and thinks she's homeless when he first sees her. I enjoyed this story a lot. The hero isn't perfect--he's a perfectionist, and needs to learn to loosen up a little. Both of them need to focus on something outside of work--the heroine realizes it first. I got a kick out of a heroine who revels in discovering her girl side when she realizes the difference dressing like a girl can make. I enjoyed the hero giving her "girlfriend lessons" when he wants her for His girlfriend. This was a short and sweet, fun little story.

Not a deep story but I enjoyed it just the same.
