Blind dates are always an adventure into the unknown, but
even more so when the people come together with their own
pre-set agenda. Having been burnt in the past by
golddiggers, Ryan Bennett, covers for Todd Aston, he almost
look alike wealthy cousin, as they are only a few months
apart in age. He was supposed to take out the golddigging
bimbo Julie Nelson as a joke as they both knew she was only
doing it for the million dollars offered by Todd's
meddling aunt.
When Julie and her two sisters, Willow and Marina, first
heard about their long estranged grandmother making the
financial offer, they turned it into a game and Julie lost
the "Rock, Scissors" decision, but decided to go along with
it if only to humour her mother's mother. After the death
of her husband, Ruth had only recently re-connected with
her daughter who had left everything to follow the man she
loved. The man her mother may have loved, but to Julie and
her sisters, he had only proved to be an "on again, off-
again" father who had left Julie with a legacy of distrust
of men that was only compounded by her ex-finance,
Garrett's behaviour.
Yet, despite the agendas, when Ryan and Julie kibitz
together, the magic sparkles and the homones flowed like
lava. They can't wait to be in each other's arms, until
Julie finds it was all a lie! Then to make matters worse,
her early morning flu symptoms turn her into a "mama to be."
Susan Mallery has crafted a fast paced, racy and exciting
plot with two very determined and well-matched characters.
The blind date scene is one of the best I had ever read and
the grilling of Ryan by Julie's sisters will have you
laughing with its zany humour. The good news is that this
is the first in a miniseries and you will definitely want
to read on to what happens to Willow in "The Million Dollar
Catch"!
Successful businessman Ryan Bennett had agreed to
masquerade as his wealthy cousin for a blind date.
But from the moment Ryan saw Julie Nelson to the moment he
should have said good-night, he was captivated and
couldn't resist an invitation to share her bed. In the
hazy afterglow of their heated lovemaking, Ryan confessed
his true identity, claiming the passion between them was
real despite his deception, but Julie wasn't buying it.
Obviously she considered him the enemy.
