Simply average
Roving reporter Colin Lyons returns from South America upon learning that his adopted father had a debilitating stroke. The paper has been left in his father's second wife's hands, and she has chosen to bypass news and replace it with fluffy lifestyle columns, resulting in loss of sales and revenue. Colin's goal is to get back to hard news and send the new columnists packing. But once he meets writer Rina Lowell, he's seeing another kind of red. Rina is a widow who fled New York to make it on her own. The two embark on a torrid affair, but is a relationship possible between a woman scarred by a past marriage and a man incapable of trust? What will Rina do when she finds out Colin's true intentions?
Phillips latest re-release is a middle of the road offering loaded with clichés, stilted unrealistic dialogue and too much narrative, which is a real drag, because it could've been so much more. Characters from Phillips previous novels "Body Heat" and "Simply Scandalous" make appearances, but don't really add anything to the story.
Oooh, simply delicious.
This was a hot, hot book. Great love scenes. The characters were a hoot. Lot's of fun. Great read. Can also recommend The Color of Revenge.
Character that you could meet in real life
I enjoyed this book immensly. I got so involved by the end of the book that I almost forgot what the beginning was like. Instant red-hot attractions are always fun to read about, and they actually have real issues that they learn to deal with. Hurray for depth of character.
