"That Boston Man" is the story of Lexie and Rome.
A fiery love story set in Massachusetts between an enraged politician and a feminist reporter. Our h is a strong, independent woman who loves her job at the newspaper. When her comments about the H, a politician with a colorful image- go viral, she never expects to meet the man himself!
But that's what he does- tracks her down, challenges her to ask him out, kisses her passionately, burns her alive with jealousy, falls for her and slowly woos her to fall in love with him.
Thoroughly enjoyed it! Their chemistry was SO HOT, the envy so sexy, and their love so passionate. I liked how her past was explored and the ultimate surrender was sweet!

4.5/5

This is an old one, so you obviously have to keep that in mind. But I thought this one had great emotion and chemistry -- great one by Janet Dailey.

He’s a sweep-you-off-your-feet kind of H.
And she is not the usual stupid h. That’s a relief.

Rome was not man enough for one woman
Newspaper reporter, Lexie Templeton, didn't need to meet Rome Lockwood to know his type - a male chauvinist playboy with a different girl on his arm every night!
Lexie's caustic comments to Shari Sullivan, the gossip columnist, hit the headlines, and Rome Lockwood came storming into the office looking for Lexie and revenge.
With fire in his eyes, Rome challenged her to stand by her feminist views. And Lexie accepted the challenge, never dreaming that the sparks had only begun to fly

Absolutely awful, even for a reissued 80s category romance. The chauvinism is overwhelming, and there is no character development.

I don't give a damn about the book, I just love Ann-Margret and George Hamilton on the cover.

This was so deliciously bad. A feminist falls in love with a chauvinist. Well, it wasn't as simple as that, but at least there was a degree or two more believability in this love match than other Mills & Boons couples.

I liked this romance from Janet Dailey's early writing. Heck, I was young, what did I know!

This book is one of my favorites. The storyline was simple, but way the events unfolded was brilliant.

I would have liked the reason for why the main character had such a problem with the romantic interest to have appeared earlier in the book. Other than that it was a nice easy summer read.
