Every Woman's Fantasy

Mail Order Men #12

by Vicki Lewis Thompson

Oh, yes . . .

Mark O'Grady has a bad habit of making love to a woman -- and then proposing. But sexual chemistry is never enough to get him down the aisle. So Mark puts an ad in Texas Men magazine, determined to take it nice and slow with the next woman -- make friends before getting too "friendly."

Oh, no!

Charlene "Charlie" McPherson is sick of being every guy's buddy. One look at Mark's picture and she's out to inspire uncontrollable lust in him. Unfortunately it works...before she discovers his reputation as a "serial groom." Now Charlie has to find a way to say, "I don't" to his luscious lovemaking...; long enough for Mark to fall in love with her . . .and say, "I do."

Protagonistas: Mark O'Grady y Charlie McPherson
Argumento:

Al irresistible Mark O'Grady le encantaba estar enamorado. El problema era que solía precipitarse demasiado y ya había abandonado a cinco mujeres en el altar. Las cosas cambiaron cuando, a través de la revista Texas Men, conoció a la maravillosa Charlie McPherson, una mujer que deseaba que formara parte de su vida... y de su cama, para siempre. Sabía con total seguridad que ella era la definitiva. Lástima que Charlie no tuviera la menor intención de convertirse en su sexta víctima.

Mark has loved being in love with his partners, but doesn't seem to get married to any of his partners.
He finds love with all these women, he can't find the right one. He just needs a woman to fall in love with and settle down, especially after leaving 5 brides at the altar. He finds Charlie McPherson, a woman he wants to marry. He knows Charlie is the one!
I really enjoyed this, and even I thought he wasn't going to marry Charlie, but to flee from the altar instead - but he didn't! Enjoyable reading. 4☆

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. It was sweet and funny with a great ending.

Αυτή ήταν πραγματικά μια πολύ αφελής ιστοριούλα. Την είχα αρχίσει πριν μια βδομάδα αλλά την παράτησα λόγω της γελοίας, για μένα, υπόθεσης. Αλλά παρόλα αυτά δεν σταμάτησα να την σκέφτομαι από τότε γιατί ήταν πραγματικά αστεία. Και την ξανάπιασα στα χέρια μου. Στα 3/4 του βιβλίου γελούσα συνέχεια, ήμουν στα πατώματα. Οι χαρακτήρες είναι σχέδον όλοι γιούχου και γλυκοί, εκτός από την Άσλεϊ, αλλά παρόλα αυτά διασκέδασα πολύ. Πιο πολύ σε χολιγουντιανή ρομαντική κομεντί φέρνει...
Το τρίτο αστεράκι για το γέλιο που μου προκάλεσε.

I usually really like Vicki Lewis Thompson books. Just this one was not likable. The characters were unrealistic. The dialog was pretty much crap. The plot was preposterous. In fact I think I'm being too generous with two stars.

Cute story with some humorous spots. I love the idea of a serial proposer. Poor guy. lol
