I dug the different type of heroine used to create this story - headstrong and independent, Piper makes a living by categorizing people (specifically men and women when it comes to dating). She'd like to build herself up to a serious career, not just a side dating column on her best friend's paper, but that has yet to come. She's hung up on her mother's past mistakes with men, so it's with reluctance that she falls in love with the hero of the story, Mark. Mark was a decent person but to me lack luster in the yummy department. He was too typical to me.

Not a large amount of adventure, twists in this one, and I think it would have been more enjoyable if it either added more genuine cuteness/humor, or kept it serious by injecting more genuine sensuality. Still it works as a good Harlequin to read, and MacAllister's writing style rocks with it's readability and wording choice. Definitely a writer to read more of. ( )
