Fresh out of her most recent disaster of a relationship, Annie Long has a revelation: If you can't find the perfect man, why not create him? And so she does. Together with her best friends, who are business partners, Annie sets out to create the most intriguing product their interactive DVD and video game company has ever seen. Instead of a silly video game, Paragon Technology is going to give every woman what they want - Joe Video, the perfect man. A man to listen when you want him to listen, talk when you want him to talk (always saying exactly the right thing), and surrender the remote control without a thought. So Annie hires a devastatingly gorgeous actor to play Joe Video in their interactive DVD. The only problem is whether she can resist his charm too. But is the "perfect" man all he's cracked to be? Because Matt, her co-creator and ex- boyfriend, is proving himself to be more perfect than Joe Video could ever be.

Three and a half

I seem to be the minority here but that is ok. This is my first book by this author and I did like it and was not disapointed by it. I just did not see it as much of a romance. There was sexual tension throught the whole book. There were also lots of laugh out loud moments, it was pretty funny. Collin was one of my favorite characters from the book.
I just did not feel a strong connection from the main characters. You could tell they were in lust but when did we get to see their feeling for eachother grow and them come together and all that? They were almost too busy making eachother jealous to get together. Until Annie walks in on Matt at his house and things take off from there. Only it did not get all that romantic, it was sexy yes, but not really romantic.
I felt more romance from Rico and Helena in the end. Although Helena was a little over the top.
So, while it was an entertaining story and ws laugh out loud funny, I thought it needed alot more romance. It was a great book, but I thought it fell in more with light romantic comedy. So that is why I gave it 3 and a half. Its a good book, but not the ammount of romance I had expected. Mrs. Halliday is a good author and I will get her books again, I just know what to expect now.

Fun, sexy, and entertaining!

Candy Halliday's clever opening paragraph will suck you in and keep you reading! After being dumped via video tape by her latest looser boyfriend, video game designer Annie turns her lemon of a love life into a lemonade of an idea. She creates the perfect man! "Joe Video." Joe is an interactive boyfriend on DVD designed to give women the support and romance they don't get from their "live" mates. The owner of Paragon Technologies thinks her novel idea will rack up sales, but Matt, Annie's boss and romantic mistake from the past, thinks her idea is a joke. But when the owner of the company dangles a big promotion in front of them, Annie and Matt must work together to make "Joe Video" a success. Sparks fly, tempers soar, and the sexual tension rises in a real life battle of the sexes between Matt and Annie. Throw in a few quirky and memorable secondary characters and you have a witty, sexy romance as entertaining as HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN TEN DAYS or SOMEONE LIKE YOU. This one is going on my keeper shelf!

A fun read...

I found this one of the best romances I've read in a while. The characterizations were strong, interesting and believable. I really liked Matt, and Annie was equally well done. I liked her. Her reasons for doing things were well thought out and made sense, something that's been lacking in many romances I've read recently.
Matt's character was very sexy and fun, and yeah - he's definitely a character I can believe Annie would fall for. Hell, I'd fall for. Great job!
I laughed out loud while reading this a number of times. I loved Collin - he's a character that could so easily have come across as too heavy-handed, but he was just perfect as were Matt's reactions to Collin and the dialogue between the two of them. Even Rico's behavior made sense in the frame of reference for him the author had set up.
Overall, this was a really fun read that was cleverly written by an author who obviously took the time to know her characters really well beforehand. Once I started I had a hard time putting this book down. Looking for more books by Candy Halliday.
