Usual very touchy freely heroine who is fitter for a wrestling match than for real life.
I can’t even count how many slaps she gives not only to the hero but to another man too, and there’s a very funny scene where she slaps both the hero and ow with one move, that would make Bruce lee proud.
She accepts a job as the hero’s secretary for some weeks where she has to type his last manuscript about his fathers silver collection.
But when they meet at his house well, they recognize each other.
They met five years before when the heroine was 18 and they were on holiday in Norway. Since the heroine is a knockout the hero seemed interested until he saw her silver medallion and treated her with extreme rudeness.
Mmmm.
So the reason for this is that her father would have cheated and robbed his father of some old silver. The heroine can’t believe it and treats the hero with equal scorn.
They work together and the hero has a bipolar behavior, both kissing her and rejecting her, always grumpy and jealous of other men while ignoring her at the same time.
There’s also a sweet older sister who tries to play cupido and a couple of om since the heroine is beautiful.
The hero is like a bear with a sore paw. Of course in old hp language this means he’s madly in love with her, and the heroine slaps him and throws objects to him and this in MW language means she’s madly I love with him too.
Oh Jesus.
In the end all is talked and solved, but nothing is cleared to the readers.
The heroine finds some letters of her father to the hero. She runs away.
The hero leaves but immediately afterwards he comes back and follows her:
In the end what matters is that they’re in love and who the fuggin care about the silver.
Crazy hp old school but nice and light.

I was definitely in the mood for something light and fluffy. This one hit the spot. I have not read much by MW, but the books I have read, I have enjoyed. This was no exception.
The heroine had spunk and the hero was all levels of asshat, but he was redeemable. Their love was credible. There was intrigue centered around the tumultuous relationship between their two fathers which was at the root of the churn between them.
Strong secondary characters added texture and strengthened the overall plot.
If you like older Harley's, this might due the trick. 3.5 stars

I generally like stories penned by this author, but this one was just a frustrating read.
The guy and girl just keep snarling at each other like dogs guarding ones' own territory. The fights are initially a result of bad blood between their fathers due to gambling debts and lost family silver.
But at some point the glaring and snarling is supposed to be a result of sexual tension between the two. The hero does manage to sneak in a kiss in the middle, quite out of context. But there is no palpable attraction between the 2, just wariness and distrust.
Anyway, after a series of non-events involving supporting characters, the hero suddenly realizes that he is in love and proposes marriage, in the most insipid manner ever.
1-1.5 stars. Sigh !! what a disappointing read.

The ending was way too abrupt. It did start out well enough, the H and h meet over a job and realize that they had encountered each other some years ago but never knew each other's names. There is a mystery and bad feeling between them since there is an unresolved history of bad debts between their fathers. Which is the main cause of tension between the H and h. Which would have been fine except that this misunderstanding was never really resolved and it led to the Hero's brooding attitude toward the heroine. You could see that he was constantly fighting his attraction to her but somehow it wasn't satisfying enough. In the end as she tries to run away, he follows in his car for the most abrupt "I love you and will you marry me" ever!! In the last 2 pages!! Lost a star for me there!

Gorgeous heroine with a hair-trigger temper. Handsome hero with a brooding temper. Put them in a room together writing a book on (checks notes) a family silver collection - and you have wild and a wooly romance.
H/h have a history. They saw each other in Norway on skiing trip five years before and they were instantly besotted. Then hero saw her pendant that dear old dad gave her when she turned 13. It was from his family's silver collection and he think's heroine's father stole it.
Fast forward five years, heroine has changed her surname after her father's bankruptcy scandal and death. She's a top-flight secretary now. Hero hires her to help with a book about the family's silver collection.
Sparks fly when they meet up again. But the carbon paper and the riveting job of indexing photos and names, soothes the heroine everytime. I'm not kidding. Girl loves her job and thinks this book is the bees knees. Hero's sister and her family show up to keep the lovely couple from killing each other before they can acknowledge their love (that would be the last chapter).
There are dart games. Long walks through the grounds. Auctions. Two models and a photographer for the H/h to make fun of and three dobermans.
Good, wacky vintage fun.

The author has created a hero with an apparently nasty disposition. What made this a keeper for me is that she allows you glimpses of his true emotions every now and then. You can see that the heroine is not the only one who is miserable.

2,5 stars.
Well, I like the fact that the hero was slapped twice from the heroine and he never reacted. Great job girl. I also like the heroine, she has guts and take no shit from anyone.
