Snapshot: From author's website
Gina is convinced that he is either gay... or her perfect match
He might be too good to be true...
Ben Walsh should be single. Handsome and wealthy, Ben is equally at home in Idaho where he grew up and in Manhattan where he's now an art dealer. Suave and successful with impeccable taste, he normally has women beating down his door. But the one woman he wants can't be convinced that he's for real...
And she doesn't have the luxury of believing in fairy tales...
Gina Reyez has fought for every bit of her success, and it's about time for things to start going her way. So when Ben makes a proposal that will allow her to take care of her family the way she wants to, she agrees. Besides, a guy this perfect would never be interested in her...right?
By the time Gina figures out that she's read Ben all wrong, their lives have become intertwined, and seriously complicated...
Review:
I absolutely loved this book! Have you ever watched the movie How To Lose a Guy in 10 days? If you haven't you are missing out! Well, this is the book version and Robin Kaye has yet again WOWED me with her writing. She's funny, emotional and delivers great character development. The book starts out with Ben proposing marriage as a business deal to Gina, from Kaye's previous books. I was curious how she could make Gina lovable, because she's a bit rough around the edges. After the initial "business deal" it is quite clear how vulnerable both Ben and Gina really are. Add a cute pup in the mix, along with some nosy family and this book version of one of my favorite movies was a real keeper! I loved Ben going home and having the entire family fall in love with Gina and the time they spent together. This both pushed their characters to really see the other as more that a "business deal" and learn to really appreciate each others abilities. The only problem I had with the book was that the ending seemed a bit abrupt. Keep them coming Ms. Kaye!!!!

Wonderful review!! Glad to see you back in blogland!
This definitely sounds like a book that I need to pick up. How to Lose a Guy in 10 days is one of my favorites as well!!
You're Welcome Robin! Can I ask what we can expect from you next? Fisher? Hunter? Karma?
Heather, You will LOVE it! Now that my licenses are over with, I am trying to catch up on my reading!
Hunter is next, On the Wild Side is in revisions right now. I'm trying to come up with Fisher's story, I thought it would be Trapper...but for reasons you'll find out later, Fisher has some real fishing to do. (grin) Thanks for all the support!
I reviewed this too and just loved it. great post.
