So wait. Miranda throws a temper tantrum because Roger read her letter (that was just blowing around the beach BTW) but is totally okay with her hussy of a sister stealing her man? Nope. I call bullshit.

This was boring. Roger is:

A. not a hero's name, but my not-sexy-at-all uncle.
B. Kinda swoony if he were in a different story.
C. Totally hot on that cover. Wowzer.

Miranda is a terrible person, I hated her job and her boss. She should've quit on morality issues.

This book was written in the 70s so it was more forward than the previous vintage Harlequins that I've read thus far. Miranda works in a typing pool and gets a promotion. She goes on a work related cruise with a scheming boss and many of the characters in the book are eyeing each other. I suppose I liked it because it was a change of pace but not one of my favorites. I found the beginning a little boring because Miranda has a very ordinary life.

Started reading in a hospital waiting room. Long story short, Georgia had one-less appendix after finishing this. It was…vintage
