Book One in the Summer Lovin' Series from New York Times Bestselling Author Kasey Michaels.
“Full of humor.” — Publishers Weekly on This Must Be Love
Jane Preston is a good girl. She follows the rules. Why, she even runs a day care center. They don't get much "gooder" than Jane. She has only one flaw — she loves her cousin Molly, and Molly is a walking magnet for Trouble. This time it's Molly's pursuit of an exclusive interview with a possible presidential hopeful that lands Jane in the role of undercover reporter (because Molly can't show her face at a beachside conference, but that's another story...).
Armed with a Molly-engineered head-to-toe makeover, Jane heads for the hotel, only to meet up with "professor" John Romanowski, who has also had a makeover, turning him from bestselling author J.P. Roman into a nerd that makes other nerds look cutting edge.
They don't know it, but they're both after the same target, Senator Harmon, albeit for different reasons. Keeping secrets from each other, they decide to work together ... a strictly platonic relationship, naturally.
What could go wrong?
How about everything...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
To help out her irresponsible but irresistible cousin Molly, who's in danger of losing her newspaper job unless she gets a spectacular scoop, good girl child care worker Jane Preston agrees to take the bad girl's place as a hired escort/undercover reporter. Janie's mission: to attend a prestigious week-long Cape May retreat for rich intellectuals and politicos (many of whom may remember Molly from her disastrous interlude as a D.C. intern) and find out whether charismatic senator Aubrey Harrison is planning to run for president. What Janie doesn't know is that her employer, nerdy professor John Romanowski, is actually bestselling mystery writer J.P. Roman, and he's determined to get the goods on the mysterious, and possibly murderous, senator. In this first of a two-book series, Michaels (Can't Take My Eyes Off of You, etc.) demonstrates her flair for creating likable protagonists who possess chemistry, charm and a penchant for getting into trouble. In addition, her dialogue and descriptions are full of humor ("John lifted one hand, undoubtedly to push his fingers through his hair, but stopped as his fingertips initially contacted his slicked-down patent leather head...."). Although it's hard at times to know whether this sexy, sinister and playful story is targeting readers' hearts, fear receptors or funny bones, it hits the bull's eye on all accounts.
