Nobody Does It Better
For author Paris Sommers, truth has become stranger than fiction. she's fallen in love with a man who exists only in her mind--a man she invented as a pseudonym for the fast-paced, testosterone-laden spy novels she writes. Now the man of her dreams is standing beside her, touching her, loving her.-- But who is he? Bar owner Devin O'Malley wanted Paris the first moment he saw her. And he was willing to do just about anything to get her--including becoming novelist Montgomery Alexander, but his deception worked too well. Before long, he'd stolen his way into Paris's bed and into her heart. Was she in love with Devin--or the fantasy he portrayed?

Occasionally I wonder if I'm missing out in not having one of those best friends who shares everything, but then I read about a h with one and decided that no; I'm good.
So our h, writer of a popular spy thriller series under a pseudonym that neither her publisher nor her editor know about, finds herself in a dilemma because the publisher wants the pseudonym to do a book tour or something. Enter our H.
Our H, son of a con artist, owns a bar that the h and her bestie/agent just happen to be in while discussing this issue. Our H just happens to have taken on a debt his dad incurred betting with someone he shouldn't have. Our H sees an opportunity for blackmail - not that he wants to since he's out of that game. He approaches the h at a party - as her pseudonym.
He can't bring himself to scam her though. Her publisher is impressed enough to extend the contract with perks and well, a signing tour. She approaches him to fill in.
Of course there's chemistry. Of course he wants a HEA. Of course the h's bestie decides to play matchmaker, doesn't try to protect the h's interests with regard to her being the actual writer, etc. Oh, and wants details. Can't forget that.
It's nice though, that the H isn't a gazillionaire or something. And kinda amusing that the h's fear of telling her dad that she was the actual writer turned out to be for nothing - he was ok with it.

I like the idea behind the story, and I liked Paris and Devin a lot. I just would've liked that Paris had stood up for herself with her father earlier.

I loved it! The characters were hilarious, especially Rachel!
I was expecting a little more of details about the romance but well it was a very nice story.

This book was surprisingly slow. I've never put one of J.Kenner's books down so much. None the less it was good.
