A CHRISTMAS PROPOSAL...

Phoebe had to take the apartment, Mitch included. But on one condition: No fooling around! Which seemed fine with confirmed bachelor Mitch--he was only interested in short-term arrangements.

About the author
Linda Turner
137 books15 followersBorn in San Antonio, Texas, Linda Turner and her identical twin sister, Brenda, were known throughout the neighborhood in which they grew up simply as "Twin."
No one except their parents and their older brother could tell them apart. They dressed alike, wore their hair alike, and even had the same glasses, so it wasn’t surprising that they were stared at everywhere they went.
Consequently, when Linda announced at the age of 25 that she was going to start writing romance novels, she wasn’t surprised when Brenda said, "I don’t care how famous your name gets, just make sure your face doesn’t become recognizable!"
Needless to say, Linda’s face isn’t known in every household in the U.S. — yet. Recently, she spent six weeks taking screenwriting classes at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, and she’s made no secret of the fact that she plans to write and — hopefully — sell a screenplay in the new millennium.

La Favola di Phoebe è un Contemporary Romance ambientato poco prima di Natale e come tale si tratta di una storia dolce e dall’atmosfera parecchio favolistica.
Phoebe, la nostra protagonista femminile si ritrova con due nipoti piccoli a cui badare, raggirata da un truffatore, senza un soldo, sfrattata dal vecchio appartamento, licenziata e le si rompe anche l’auto. Mitch è un uomo ricco e burbero ed è il proprietario dell’appartamento che Phoebe è convinta di aver affittato. Tra i due volano subito scintille ma forse c’è qualcosa di più…
Lettura carina e scorrevole anche se si sente che è una storia un po’ vecchiotta (in lingua inglese è stato pubblicato nel 1998).
La novità è sicuramente l’espediente con cui i due si incontrano ma lo sviluppo è più o meno il solito. Inizialmente i due si detestano per poi scoprire di nutrire una forte attrazione e infine durante il periodo natalizio scoprirsi innamorati. In realtà Mitch, non nasconde un dramma per la sua allergia a una storia d’amore e al matrimonio. Phoebe, invece, ha una motivazione per non volerla.
Storia carina ma si dimentica facilmente.
