Playboy Sam Carson has it all. Success. Money. Women. But when an elderly woman riding in a carriage around Central Park asks him which Duke he is, it's unmistakable - he also has trouble on his hands.

I need a reality check on one thing. What does the title of this book say to you?I assumed it was a book by the daughter of an Amy Chua-type mom. It isn't. It's by a mom and her teenaged daughter. Well, technically it's all by the mom, but she interviews her daughter and then weaves her answers toge...

I went into this book wondering how the author would play this. EVERY girl wants to catch a movie star, but Jasmine has so many fears that she tells herself no way! I loved the humor - boy did I laugh A LOT!! Also - the friends and family of both main characters made this book feel real and not fu...

This story is definitely like nothing I have ever read before; a crazy old lady (I totally see myself turning into her because of all the regency books I read), a Duke of Whatthehell, and frumpy schoolteacher. I'm three chapters in and feel like I should write some comments but honestly I'm flabberg...

Definitely some humorous parts, almost silly. I'm not a silly hater, so I didn't have a problem with that. I loved Josh Toby, but found Jamine lacking for my taste. My real problem with the book was how the character's were written. It was clear the author was going for character complexity but ...

A great beginning to a equally good series. The basic idea (What would it really be like to know the name of your One True Love? Really? Even if the name turned out to be John Smith, and you were married to someone else?) is creative and thought-provoking, and the execution smart and funny. I usuall...

This is a contemporary romance that is an easy, fun, lighthearted read.Commitment-phobic Sam Carson has only dated model-gorgeous women. But one stolen kiss from a plain-Jane schoolteacher and he's hell-bent on stripping away her floral dresses and teaching her the art of being bad. If only her good...

I've wanted to read this ever since I reviewed the sequel, "Sexiest Man Alive" for Armchair Interviews. Unfortunately it couldn't quite live up to my expectations, but to be honest I don't know if that's because I remember SMA as being better than it really was ;)That said, it was an enjoyable and q...
