Product Description

From the Inside Flap
When she was good, she was very very good... When she was bad, she was even better!

Marianne is used to playing it safe. But with a new identity, in a new town, suddenly the old rules don't matter. The moment she sees Oz on stage at a charity auction, Marianne knows she has to have him--he is big, bad and straddling a motorcycle. He couldn't be more different from the life she has left behind.

Her attraction to the hot, sexy stranger makes Marianne reckless, wanting more, even if it means letting her past catch up with her...

And even if that means discovering Oz isn't all that he seems...

4.0 out of 5 stars Trendier Than You'd Expect of Mills & Boon, 6 April 2006
By Wicked Woman (Cheshire) - See all my reviews
"Go Fish." Ever played it? Marianne and Oz have and after reading that scene, a simple game of cards will never be the same again!

Julie Cohen has brought a fresh, upbeat style to category romance. Her writing has attitude. Instead of relying on tired, romantic analogies and adjectives she uses humour and a sense of grounding that makes the story really believable. There are no improbable encounters and no impossible hurdles - just the kind of situations that you and I could easily have found ourselves in.

Marianne's running away from her life because she's tired of the expectations that surround her. Oz is a successful psychologist who dresses up as a bad boy and puts himself up for auction as a way of raising money for charity. Most of us have probably felt something of what Marianne felt at some point in our lives, so although not all of us have run away, we can empathise with her. Ok, maybe not so many guys have been in the same situation as Oz, but it's not that unlikely and, as such, the couple Julie created are a refreshing change from what we're used to in Category romance, and the "Harlequin Mills & Boon Modern/Presents" line in particular.

The characters are well developed and although I didn't particularly like Marianne to begin with, I soon understood that we were still to meet the real person, the woman beneath the facade she'd painted on. But does being somebody else ever really work? As for Oz, I defy any woman to not love him right from the word go.

Set in Maine, the story moves forward at any easy pace and although I've never been to the US, I had no trouble picturing the scenes. Julie's description of the couple leaving a house and running through the snow took me there with them.

If you like your romance based around believable characters in credible situations, this is definitely one worth ordering. Personally, I can't wait to read the follow up.
