Helpful Score: 2

Much MUCH better character development than typical for this sort of novel (you know, the thinner harlequin style series romances). And as an extremely pleasant change, you can actually understand WHY these characters love each other. The author does a really great job of showing you their motivations and weaknesses - all on a very steamy backdrop.

My favorite part of the book - where it started to get really good, was right at the beginning, as the heroine is applying for an accounting job with the Mayor, and for a hidden confidence boost she decides to wear one of her stripper outfits under her suit...and then (accidentally - really) drops her portfolio onto the floor in front of her boss.

"Mike stood in the doorway a second after Autumn passed, fighting for his composure...appearance was irrelevant to the job, of course...while fighting her for her portfolio, he'd caught a glipse of the sexiest bra he'd ever seen in his life. Black leather and, God help him, open at the tips? She'd been too busy defending her credentials to notice that he was staring at her as if she was dinner and he was starving. Hell, he was likely to skid on his own drool."

Cute, hot, fast read. :)
