Product Description
From Booklist
How did a fashion model with a wealthy Boston pedigree end up modeling for a cheese campaign in rural Massachusetts? By throwing a cake during a New York fashion show. Now Madison must work her way back to the top. The cheese manufacturer, Jack Pleeseman, is determined to save his family's business and take care of his four-year-old daughter. He believes that Madison is the face that will launch his firm nationally, if only she can curb her diva ways. Madison's financial predicament keeps her down on the farm, where she slowly learns to enjoy the simple life, Jack, and even the calorie-laden cheese, until an offer of a lifetime arrives. Jump has created a truly enjoyable romp loaded with winning characters and delicious recipes. Patty Engelmann

"Cheesy" romance sure to please, May 23 2007

This review is from: Pretty Bad (Mass Market Paperback)
Supermodel and hotel heiress Madison Worth has been ostracized when she pelts a fellow model with a cake. Soon the only gig in town is as a spokesperson for an upstate dairy farm helmed by Jack Pleeseman. Jack inherited his mother's half of the dairy farm and has a vision for the future by getting into the gourmet cheese market. He banks on Madison's sex appeal to sell his cheese in an ad campaign. What he doesn't count on is the diva that shows up on his doorstep, spiky heels and all. Fighting their attraction, the two work on the campaign. But Jack's deepening interest and Madison's fears of abandonment might be the death of the relationship until a cherubic little girl enters the scene.Jump's final "romance with recipes" (say it ain't so - we want more) is such a joy to read that she manages to go out with a big bang. Loaded with mouth watering cheesy recipes (and hysterical preparation instructions), this one is guaranteed to pack on the pounds as well as the smiles. "Pretty Bad" is pretty darned good! Other books in the series (which serve dual functions as cook books) include "The Bride Wore Chocolate" (dessert), "The Devil Served Tortellini" (pasta), "The Angel Craved Lobster" (seafood), and "The Bachelor Preferred Pastry" (muffins and pastries).

Another "yummy" Shirley Jump book, Feb 19 2007
By Armchair Interviews - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pretty Bad (Mass Market Paperback)
"Madison Worth knew she was in trouble the minute the manure hit her Prada heels."So begins the story of the poor little rich model who has one more chance to prove herself before losing her job forever.
Unfortunately for slightly spoiled Madison, her agent sent her to the middle of nowhere--or it might as well be--a dairy farm in rural Massachusetts. Her new job is to be the spokesmodel for the Cheese Pleese Company. She's all set to quit and head back to New York, except her car broke down. Oh, and she meets the man in charge of the company, deliciously gorgeous Jack Pleeseman.
Madison tries to resist all of it: the wonderful cheese, the fresh country air, the quieter lifestyle, and the hunky boss. Gradually, she loses the New York-sized chip on her shoulder, begins to eat, and does a lot of thinking.
For his part, Jack is faced with local competition on the dairy front, dealing with a curmudgeonly father who resists change like it's mad cow disease, and a great-aunt who talks to Elvis as she works in the kitchen. Oh, and an ex-wife, too.
With plot twists and turns like a country road, with a cow here and a goat there, Madison must do some soul searching and figure out what she wants and what she needs, all before the wine
and cheese festival on Saturday!
This is Shirley Jump's fifth "romance with recipes." The recipes are all real, fully tested in Shirley's own kitchen, with instructions in her inimitable style.
Shirley Jump's romances are really delectable. I prefer her romantic comedies over so many others on the market.
Armchair Interviews says: Give them a try and I'm sure you, too, will find them difficult to put down.

Recipes were distracting, Nov 4 2008

This review is from: Pretty Bad (Mass Market Paperback)
To the point of irritating, forcing the reader to refocus making it a very difficult read. ~Affaire de Coeur
