Sharon and Tom Curtis are so funny; I'm always laughing or smiling (or blushing omg) when I read something by them. ( ) Charming and sweet, but not a lot of plot or characterization. Philip is an idealization and barely a real person, despite the (totes adorbs) owl-saving. Jennifer is sweet and "awkward" but she gets over it real fast. Insta-love is a major (the only) factor in their relationship. But it's a quick read and fun in an homigod-this-was-clearly-written-in-the-80's kind of way. I'll be on the lookout for [b:The Windflower|679702|The Windflower|Laura London|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1177088336s/679702.jpg|666104] when it gets re-published digitally next year. This is a fun and quick read if you're in the mood for a corny 80's romance. And when I say 80's I mean the time period that this book was written in is extremely apparent. I was having some serious flashbacks with all the pop culture references from that time period. Picturing all the characters in typical 80's fashion combined with actual plot of the book made for a pretty damn amusing read. Phillip is a stripper with a heart of gold. No I'm not kidding. The book features Phillip, a blue blood, who has turned to stripping so he can save nature. The land on which Phillip's family home rests is apparently a hotbed for all kinds of furry creatures and he has made it his life's goal to keep that land out of the hands of evil developers. Even if, to do so, he has to shimmy around naked in front of a lot of women. One night, while shimmying, Phillip spots a woman in the crowd who clearly does not want to be there. Enter Jennifer, the most timid and annoying character ever. Phillip is immediately intrigued and proceeds to ask her out the next day. Jennifer has a stick up her arse at first about dating a stripper but eventually says yes. Hijinks ensue. This is a just a fun book. You have to do a lot of overlooking in it though. I had to ignore Jennifer for a lot of the book. She was one of the typical uber-sweet and innocent heroines that often get on my nerves. I hate when authors don't give their female protagonists' any edges. Phillip was a fun character even if he was a little pathetic in his own right. I mean come on, he chose to strip because it was the only open avenue to him? Please. The guy's family was rich, that comes with a certain amount of connections. Plus, he has a freakin PhD. You can't tell me that he couldn't get a job somewhere and just ask one of his friends to make sure no one screwed around with his property while he was away. But like I said, this was an entertaining book. And I'll admit it got some bonus points for the Phillip having a pet owl named Chaucer. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

From Sharon and Tom Curtis, one of the most celebrated writing duos in romance, comes a sizzling story of unexpected attraction--as sparks fly between a shy librarian and a sexy dancer. Philip Brooks is a man with a passion for biology, wildlife, and restoring his old family home--all of which add up to a pile of bills that require attention. Moonlighting as the Cougar Club's hottest dancer is a job, nothing more, nothing less--until lovely Jennifer Hamilton nearly faints during one of his shows. Her sweet innocence tugs at his heart and makes him painfully aware of his longing for the kind of love a woman as perfect and real as Jennifer can offer. Watching her most secret fantasy come to life on the dance floor is almost more than Jennifer can bear. Now, the sexiest man she's ever met is near enough to hold. For a shy, bookish lady with little experience in the romance department, life feels as if it's spinning out of control--and not in the direction, or with the kind of man, she ever imagined. Can she believe in the passion Philip ignites and take a chance on a dance that could last a lifetime? Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Remember the Time, The Vow, This Fierce Splendor, The Baron, Tall, Dark, and Lonesome, Dream Lover, and Legends.
