Editorial Review:
Q: How does a thirty-five-year-old reporter with a vanilla-sounding name like Jenny George know so much about men?
A: She really doesn't. Not since her live-in boyfriend traded up for the model he met in the ad campaign she created!
But Jenny is about to be clued in. When her newspaper sends her to the Caribbean to write an expose, she's pitted against the man who is the bane of her professional existence, Slaid Warren. Slaid takes issue with Jenny's quest to be the best and sets out to show her 1)There's more to life than just work; 2)They're stronger when they work as a team and not at cross-purposes and 3)He really does live up to all his hype. Armed with these new insights -- and a killer tan -- Jenny suddenly couldn't care less about what men want. She's way too busy shedding her own cocoon and becoming the self-assured woman she wants to be!

Also, what was the fixation with saying Jenny was a blonde with blue ... Read More

Rating: - fine journalist investigative romance
For several years, columnists Jenny George of Street Beat and Slaid Warren of Slaid in the City have competed in public and especially in private email and phone calls repeating the same message of beat you so top this. Surprisingly, considering the rivalry and the same coverage of city politics, these journalistic warriors have never met in person.
Both work the same story that links the mayor's office with obtaining illegal kickbacks and prohibited expensive freebies in exchange for favors. ... Read More
