  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; Hank Mallone knows he's in trouble when Maggie Toone agrees to pretend to be his wife in order to improve his rogue's reputation. Will his harebrained scheme to get a bank loan for his business backfire once Maggie arrives in his small Vermont town and lets the gossips take a look? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Maggie never expected her employer to be drop-dead handsome, but she's too intrigued by his offer to say no . . . and too eager to escape a life that made her feel trapped. The deal is strictly business, both agree, until Hank turns out to be every fantasy she ever had. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a light and fluffy romance. The realtionship between Maggie and Hank felt way too rushed and undeveloped. They had known each other only for a couple days and already felt that they loved one another. The only thing that kept me reading the book was the little bit of mystery that was thrown...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67836762">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Read this in a day, which is about how long it takes to read most of Evanovich's early romance novels. This one's cute, though I don't think there's enough pay off for the premise. Hank hires Maggie to play his wife so that he can get a bank loan, and nothing really happens regarding the fake marria...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9268249">more...</a>]]></body>
