Trophy wife Darcy McDaniel has just discovered that, thanks to her embezzling husband, her posh, upper-class life is gone for good. Now she's trading her suburban palace for a trailer park and her weekly salon appointments for a job. Darcy needs a new man--fast--one who'll keep her in the manner she darn well deserves. Problem is, the hottest prospect around is the my-way-or-the-highway hunk who's making off with her beloved Mercedes!
Ex-cop turned repo man John Stark is sure that hiring the furious blonde in his headlights is a colossal mistake. He knows Darcy's high-maintenance, designer-labels-only type--after all, he's used to taking their cars. But he never expected this hellion to have the smarts and the spunk to go from receptionist to repo agent in record time...or to drive him insane with desire. She's the last thing this tall, dark, and dangerous loner needs...and everything he never knew he wanted.
My thoughts:
Darcy, hmmm, she was such a trophy wife. But then again she did learn a few things early on, and I did start to like her even with her flaws. I also liked that the author made her 40! I know, so freaking old ;) But comparing to other heroines it felt refreshing.
John was nice, the only issues he had was with a certain headstrong trophy wife. But who wouldn't.
They meet, there is anger, she gets a job, there is drama. And oh those sparks fly.
There is also...something else, I never really got that, but sure why not. A good chase.
Conclusion:
I actually read it in a day, it was just so light and fun

Seems like we're both reviewing authors neither of us has read yet but want to. I think I'll see if my library has this one.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun with new to you authors :)
DeleteOne sitting read! I miss those. Boo.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised, it was not awesome, but it was just so light and fun
DeleteI sense there's a lot of tight tension here...
ReplyDeleteYup
Delete40 year-old trophy wife? Hmm
ReplyDeleteYeah, I though so too
DeleteSounds like a fun read.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteLove when I see an "older" character. It's so silly that publishers don't put that age in much.
ReplyDeleteI know! I was surprised that she actually was that "old", but it was great
DeleteProbably not something for me, but hey, I love the title :)

DeleteVery true
ReplyDeleteThink I read this back in the day and enjoyed it and read a few more by her as well.
ReplyDeleteNice :)
DeleteIt's always nice to have a book like that
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI was just looking at this book yesterday. Thanks for the review, it's on my list!
ReplyDeleteCool :)
Delete40? She's still alive? LOL I know what you mean, so nice to see someone not 18. :) This sounds like something I'd enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI know, she is practically in a nursing home already ;=)
DeleteLove the title and the story sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteI have this on my TBR. It looks really good.
ReplyDeleteYay
DeleteSighs...after the book I just read I need light and fun
ReplyDeleteOh no
DeleteIt's so strange to me how few heroines there are in romance novels over the age of 30! 30 is hardly old people, and neither is 40. ;)
ReplyDeleteI know! But that is the way it is
Delete40 seems young compared to me lol
ReplyDeleteI think I would like this one.
Karen @For What It's Worth
There should be more of them
DeleteYay for a heroine over 30!
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteI haven't read anything light in awhile so I might just have to pick this one up after all! Great review!
ReplyDeleteLight is so good and needed sometimes, pure cheese
DeleteOh... this sounds good. A 40 YO heroine rocks, too!
