Victoria Padden is a computer specialist with wealthy roots and a wild child past. David Lloyd is the soon-to-be doctor she’s been living with. Her mom is thrilled with this arrangement, but it’s too stable, too boring. And it’s not progressing rapidly towards marriage.
Tori’s boss and best friend, Sally Becker, takes her to a bachelor auction and bids on the owner of a construction and landscaping company. Sally sees hunky Geoff McKenzie as a great way to move David out of Tori’s life. Geoff is attractive, sensitive and for some reason, unable to hold on to a woman.
Chubby Bertha Sims, abetted by her wealthy and pushy mother, wants Geoff for herself. A jealous co-worker wants Tori’s clients. Nasty notes and phone calls plague Tori.
Geoff and Tori both do a lot of hot fantasizing before they get to the real thing near the end of the book. Bertha has some steamy dreams as well, and records them in her journal.
Ms. Moss is an engaging writer. The book kept me engrossed until the end but then I was disappointed by a couple of twists. The author did not foreshadow these significant factors well and worked a little too hard to tie up loose ends. I was left with new characters I didn’t fully understand and some heavy duty questions about the older cast members I had thought I understood. Moss had done a great job of making me feel comfortable with her people and her plot. Then she spoiled it with too many surprises.
