This is a fun romance novel. It has a different twist to it. The blue collar guy is really a very wealthy guy looking for a woman to love who isn't in love with his money. Only the heroine doesn't know he is wealthy. A good beach novel.

Other than the constant flip-flopping back and forth by both main characters this is a fun read. The puppy rescue was enough to cause me to laugh out loud and was worth the predictable romance plot.

This book was pretty good, a typical contemporary romance with a couple of chuckles within.
reviewed Man at Work on
Truman Fleming has spent enough days wearing a suit - and enough nights on the arm of silly socialites - to last a lifetime. After all, he has better things to do with his hands than push pencils and spend the family fortune, so he straps on a toolbelt and decided to live the simple life. But things definitely get complicated when he runs smack into lady lawyer Marcy Paglinowski. Together, they rescue a terrified puppy...and soon the sparks that fly ignite more than just their sympathy.

Marcy's strived hard to become a lawyer and the last thing she needs is a workin' man - even one like Truman - who's got biceps and triceps galore...and who certainly knows how to work with those hands. No, she's determined to find a reliable guy with a steady paycheck and a four door vehicle, and Truman, no matter how sexy he looks in tight, dusty jeans and a t-shirt, isn't for her...or is he?

Could not put this book down. sweet, cute, romance at it's best. When was the truth going to come out about the two? I could just see all of the events taking place in my mind. Great use of colorful language.

I am glad I picked this up because I forgot about Elaine Fox for a while. Great little romance where both parties are guilty and at fault for being too judgemental. I loved that both of them had valid arguments and are just a little bit right about each other.

On the negative side, I thought some of the scenes were too wordy and dragged on too much. But still a nice fluffy read.
