Question is does the title mean in choosing to date this
woman the probability is nil -- or -- that this could be
the
ONE. Certainly gives you an aha moment and in true Liz
Fielding there is an element of truth in either assumption
mixed in with her flair for humor. Her mantra should be to
never take yourself too seriously and THE LAST WOMAN HE'D
EVER DATE will
certainly make you laugh -- or at least titter aloud. The
dialog is witty and charming. There's no denying Hal North had an agenda as he transpired
to
obtain ownership of Cranbrook Park -- revenge -- plain and
simple. But revenge is never simple and this attempt was
going to be messy. North's personal life had already paid
plenty in his narrow envisioned dream to exact payment for
the wrongs done to his family. And if truth were told his
life was socially full and privately empty as was his soul
and heart. But he did an admirable job of convincing
himself that this was the way he wanted it. Does anyone really want to spend their life alone -- even
the sweet smell of success and revenge eventually fades
away and then what is left is a quiet, solitary void. Claire Thackeray was unaware that she was going to be a
pawn in that revenge. After all she had lived on Cranbrook
forever it seemed, her father had worked for Sir Robert
Cranbrook, but she never expected to play a role in Hal
North's scheme. But in North's mind he needed someone to
pay for what Claire's father had done to him and his mother
and in his mind if he couldn't get to the father, the
daughter would do just fine. As a single mother just making due the only security
she had was the long term lease on Primrose Cottage on the
estate. If the news was correct the new owner was planning
on developing the land. So it was with dual purpose that
Claire was working diligently to get the scoop. First for
her job as a journalist in the local publication and second
and really more importantly as the holder of a lease due to
expire in just four months. As a young girl Claire had a fascination with Hal watching
him from afar. He was a rebel and she was the smart, shy
schoolgirl. Neither really fit in with the locals but Hals
departure was abrupt and abound with gossip. Claire never
wound up leaving. And here they are older, more mature but
still with personal issues. But the one thing neither one
ever counted on was the undeniable attraction. Would that
be enough to soften the beast.
SUMMARY
Tall, dark and brooding-and back for good?
Claire Thackeray: Hardworking single mom and gossip
columnist. Hoping for the inside scoop on sexy billionaire
Hal North, aka her teen crush! Most wary of: Gorgeous men who set her heart racing. (Been
there, got the T-shirt-and the baby!) Hal North: Bad boy made good. Back in his hometown as new
owner of the Cranbrook Park estate. Determined to put his
troubled past behind him. Most wary of: Journalists-especially pretty ones, like new
neighbor and tenant Claire Thackeray.
