( ) Dr. Nicole Hathaway has written an accidental best seller about love and compatibility, and now her publisher is making her take a book tour to promote it. She has managed to run off two or three (one never showed up) personal assistants, and she fully expects to run off the next one, too. Lily Smith is determined to keep this job. She needs the money, and it'll get her out of the country for a few months. After dodging the paparazzi and a Nancy Grace clone since her parents' Ponzi scheme crumbled, all she wants is a bit of normalcy. I really liked the chemistry between Lily and Nicole. They go from disliking one another, to tolerating one another, to liking one another, etc. It's a relatively slow build, which is nice; I don't think it would be in-character for Nicole, especially, to jump into something. Nicole really reminded me of the character of Bones in a way: aloof, brilliant, and forthright to the point of social awkwardness. It's interesting to watch her grow and mature. Just the way she talks changes; in the first few chapters, Nicole is almost clinically detached from her life, but by the end, she sounds completely different. The book is well-written, descriptive without being overly so. I do think the last few chapters got a tad too "busy," but I buzzed through this book in just a few hours, so that testifies to its readability. I'll definitely be picking up more by this author. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

As a behavioral scientist, Professor Nicole Hathaway's work strips away the foolish mystique that surrounds the human mating dance. When her academic tome is treated as a viral "love manual" her ecstatic publisher books her to appear all over the U.S. and Europe. Worse yet, her quiet, managed life has been shattered by a series of incompetent assistants. And she's certain this Lily Smith creature isn't going to be any less a burden than the last assistant they sent her. Or the one before that. Or before that... Lillian Linden-Smith needs this job. With a relentless TV lawyer and public mob still out for her blood for crimes committed by her "American royalty" parents, getting out of the country is her only hope for anonymity. If that means cleaning up and presenting an antisocial know-it-all Ph.D. for bookstores, clubs and lectures, fine. Dr. Hathaway may have succeeded in driving away all the others, but not this time. From their first meeting the sparks fly, and each is thinking: She has no idea who she's dealing with. It's hate at first sight in this love adventure from the author of Above Temptation, Roller Coaster and dozens of other best-selling, award-winning novels.
