Brandishing a loaf of French bread at a dishy detective wasn't how Alexandra Freemar had envisioned starting her stay in London. But the sassy American wasn't about to put up with any flak from the uptight--albeit gorgeous--Scotland Yard inspector who accused her of breaking and entering. She didn't have time to deal with this suspicious upstairs neighbor. She had two months to write the perfect romance novel--two months to prove that she could succeed as an author.

Luckily, reserved Englishmen were not her cup of tea. Yet, one kiss told her Alexander Black might not be quite as proper as she'd thought. In fact, his lips could be classified as downright wicked, leaving Alix to wonder how far his talents extended. There was only one snag: The serious-minded gentleman wasn't interested in a mere summer fling. And while as a writer Alix knew every imaginable euphemism for the male member, as a woman she soon realized she had a lot to learn about love.

Thank you so much! It's been awhile since I read a book by Katie MacAlister, her books are a breath of fresh air in the romance genre. Thank you!

My Review: I truly adore Katie MacAlister! Her female characters tend to be funny, slightly klutzy and completely loveable! (hmmm, that sounds a lot like me.) This story is about an American woman named Alix who moves to London for two months to become a fabulous writer. Her stories need a lot of work to make them wonderful. She meets several great people at her apartment house, including the dishy Detective from Scotland Yard, whose name is Alex.

This was such a fun book!!

"A book is a mysterious object, I said, and once it floats out into the world, anything can happen. All kinds of mischief can be caused, and there's not a damned thing you can do about it. For better or worse, it's completely out of your control."
