Newspaper reporter, Holly Morgan, finds herself in a bit
of
a fix. Doing a favor for a relative has her deep in
Accidental Pleasures. That aside she learns he does
not
like Christmas but he doesn't like reporters much either.
Two strikes against him in her book. What does a girl have
to do to change his mind about both ... challenge him of
course; cause this guy ticked off the WRONG HOLLY this
time.
Texas Senator Josh Griffin is in town for a fund-raiser;
the usual shake a few hands, eat dinner and get back home.
When his escort arrives he is very intrigued, she is
beautiful and intelligent so the night might not be a bore
after all. He is shocked to find that she is there to help
him hide the fact that he is gay. Whoa ... little bit of a
mix up here and after proving very nicely that she has the
wrong impression, he loses her. And when he does find her
again there is still a lot of mystery going on and she
would have to have an issue with his phobia of Christmas.
He will accept her challenge ... gladly ... and he likes
to win.
With sparks flying all around can Holly help Josh face his
reasons for hating the holiday or is it beyond the magic
of
the season to get through to him?
WRONG HOLLY is another Accidental Pleasures
offering by author Geri
Foster. This one boasts a Christmas theme but add to that
a
good touch of sexual tension that is kicked along by two
people who don't trust each other and you have WRONG
HOLLY. I loved the misunderstanding that led to the date
and how they kept sniping at one another. They resolved
the
gay thing very quickly but when she challenges him to
putting more effort into the holiday duties he was
performing I thought it was great how he turned the tables
on her. Ms. Foster has a way of making her characters
likeable (even if you want to give them a swift kick ever
once in awhile) and putting them in situations you can
only
shake your head at and wonder...how did she come up with
that? Hopefully she will keep coming up with her accidents
and I will keep reading them.

gay. Josh is determined to prove her wrong.
