Book Description

Publication Date: 31 Mar 2004
He was a confirmed bachelor—and a gorgeous work of art.

For struggling art conservationist Callie Burke, the chance to restore a world-famous painting is the opportunity of a lifetime—one that no one in her right mind would turn down. Call her crazy, but Callie has serious reservations about working with the painting’s owner. Warm and sexy, Jack Walker makes no attempt to hide the strong attraction he feels for Callie—even as she tries to keep their relationship professional. Now, cocooned in his studio in Boston, she will either have to learn to ignore the man and concentrate on the masterpiece, or give in to the kind of passion that can never be captured on canvas.

Jack Walker is a practical man who runs his life, his empire, and his fortune effortlessly. Yet from the moment he met Callie Burke, he wanted her with all the intensity of a first crush. As he gets to know her, the desire blossoms into something more—and Jack finds that for the first time in his life he is leading with his heart instead of his head. . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Now it is Callie's turn for a story... 12 Feb 2004
By Detra Fitch TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The story begins the day after a lavish gala hosted by the Hall Foundation. Callie Burke is an art conservator who had just been handed a job offer that could easily make her career! Grace Woodward Hall introduced Callie to Jackson "Jack" Walker during the gala. Jack had just purchased back a famous painting that had been sold off by his own father years ago. Knowing Grace would not have introduced Callie to work on the conservation of the painting if she was less than excellent, he immediately offers the job. But Callie knows Jack's playboy background and knows danger when she sees it. Even so, she ends up accepting and travels to his mansion, Buona Fortuna, to work on the painting.

The attraction between the two is obvious to those around, including Jack's stuck up mother, Mercedes. Jack became engaged to a lady of his own class only three weeks prior and Mercedes could not have been more displeased to see how Jack reacted to Callie, so beneath him in class. But Jack always gets what he wants and he wants Callie from the moment he first saw her. He is even willing to break off his engagement to prove he prefers Callie.

But is he really a new, improved, socially responsible Jack Walker? Or is he still a playboy? And can he ever accept the secret Callie has kept hidden her entire life?

***** Callie Burke and Jack Walker were introduced in the romantic suspense book, "An Unforgettable Lady", which hit book stores only a few weeks ago. You do not need to read the previous book, which is Grace and John's story, to totally understand this one though. Both books easily stand alone. However, this story will mean more to you if you do read both books. Grace and "John" are secondary characters in this novel, along with another hot bachelor, Gray.

The author succeeds in giving each character their own personality, which is not an easy thing to accomplish! No suspense in this tale, but the plot rolls along at a wonderful pace and the reader never has time to get bored. Recommended to all! Now if only Gray could someday get his own story told. *****

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read! 25 May 2010
By dream_shop_world
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I stumbled across Jessica Bird recently when I realised that the JR Ward has another pen name and I'm not disappointed!

I LOVE JR Ward's BDB series and the new fallen angels series and was willing to give her contemporary stories under this name a go. So okay, these are not the best contemporary books I've ever read, but they're a pleasurable read and escapsism.

AN IRRISISITIBLE BACHELOR is the second book which comes after AN UNFORGETTABLE LADY and both are great reads. In this book we get Jack's story, whom we met in the first book. The mysterious, suave and charmning man. He's gorgeous. Jack oozes charm and handsomeness throughout the book and his relationship with Callie is filled with passion, warmth and is very touching.

At the start of the book we learn that Jack is engaged to someone else but then as the saying goes, 'anything can happen.' Jack asks Callie (also from the first book) to stay over at his place where she can work on a painting he recently purchased and you can guess what leads from there... Jack's mother is hostile towards Callie and the difference in social class between Callie and Jack is what I loved alot reading this - just goes to show, that opposites do attract!

I really did enjoy this book and I won't go over the summary or the plot with you but will tell you that the story is a MUST read if you like light contemporary romance reads!
