Book Description
What do women want? Newspaperman Colin Lyons needs to figure it out--fast! Because advice columnist Rina Lowell is waging a sexual campaign against him that he can't withstand for long. Not that he wants to…. Rina is as irresistible to him as her column is to her readers. The problem? The newspaper's in the red, and all fluff pieces have to be cut. Still, faced with Rina's seductive powers of persuasion, Colin can't resist taking her to bed. Little does she guess he's about to put her out of a job, too….

Character that you could meet in real life,

This review is from: Simply Sexy (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed this book immensly. I got so involved by the end of the book that I almost forgot what the beginning was like. Instant red-hot attractions are always fun to read about, and they actually have real issues that they learn to deal with. Hurray for depth of character.

This review is from: Simply Sexy (Mass Market Paperback)
When reporter Colin Lyons learns that his beloved adoptive father suffered a stroke, he takes a leave of absence from his South American assignment to return to his Massachusetts hometown to run Joe's labor of love, Ashford Times. However, Colin learns that his mentor assigned his second wife to run the newspaper. She has converted the focus into fluff while the paper is now losing money. Colin plans to eliminate the bubbles by bringing serious news back as the prime theme of the paper and consequently out of the red.Colin realizes that he finds one of the new hires, advice columnist Rina Lowell, SIMPLY SEXY. Though he tries to avoid her, she turns the heat up, as she wants her boss by her side permanently. He cannot resist her and decides a holiday fling is just the thing, but as he falls in love he wonders how she will react to his New Year's Resolution to fire the frivolous, which includes her. Like Rina's column, SIMPLY SEXY is mostly fluff, but anyone looking for an amusing good time will join this reviewer and declare so what. Instead, the audience receives a humorous tale with some serious undertones involving coping with loss and the state of small town newspapers. The key to this novel, as with the previous "Simply" tales (being reprinted starting in April), is the two delightful protagonists, who struggle between professional desires, fears of commitment, and a growing love for one another. Readers will enjoy Carly Phillips' heated holiday romance that contains much merriment with just the right dab of solemnity. Harriet Klausner
