5.0 out of 5 stars A great success at contemporary novels, 17 Jun 2003
I have always been a fan of Christina Dodd since first reading her successful governess series and then dashing to buy the rest of her historical works. Therefore I was skeptical when I saw that Christina has now ventured into contemporary romance. Do not be put off! This book was excellent, so much so that I went home and could not put it down until I finished it! Christina successfully lets you in to the two main characters of Zack and Hope and despite the cinderella story line you keep wishing them to successfully get together. And look out for the 'cliff hanger' at the end - I am now impatient to read the next one of the Lost Texas series!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bells are ringing, 21 Nov 2008
Christina Dodd's first venture into contemporary novels didn't stray so far from the style and plotline-development techniques used in the hugely popular historical 'Governesses' series. In several of these novels, Dodd picks up and works from the basic premises of classic movies e.g. versions of 'The Sound of Music', 'Sabrina (Fair)' and 'Le Retour de Martin Guerre'... and the basic plot device used here is no different.

The story revolves around Hope Prescott, a telephone answering service worker, who becomes overly interested in her subscriber's lives... even falling in love with one of them. This time the plot borrowing comes from the Judy Holiday-Dean Martin vehicle 'Bells are Ringing'... and the nature of the borrowing is a plot problem which Dodd doesn't really resolve. The problem lies in the fact that the 1950s stage show and movie centred around a telephone answering service - but there is little/no need for such kinds of service in the era of mobile phones and answering machines. Even as the alleged last service of its type in Boston, the nature of Hope's employment is hokey.

Otherwise, this is a fun, comic romance... albeit one that is heavily laden with nods to screwball/romantic comedies of the 30's, 40's and 50's: for example when the hero, multimillionaire Zack Givens, becomes annoyed by Hope's assumption that rich people can't be bothered to pick up their own messages, he pretends to be his own butler. This leads to a tangle of identities and emotions, as Zack succumbs to the temptation to find out whether someone can genuinely be attracted to HIM rather than his cash...

4.0 out of 5 stars A Thoroughly Enjoyable new series !, 16 Jun 2003
By A Customer
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's a departure into contemporary fiction which was well done. The only thing that spoiled it a little was the last few chapters. Zack along with an assorted group of characters from the book went to rescue Hope who had been " kidnapped ". The actions were totally out of character and totally unbelievable. In spite of this I would still recommend the book !
