About the author
Robyn Grady
334 books76 followersRobyn received a book from her big sister and immediately fell in love with Cinderella. Sprinklings of magic, deepest wishes come true - she was hooked! Picture books with glass slippers later gave way to romance novels. When she was older, she wanted to write one.
However, in junior high, Robyn hit a stumbling block - a disheartening grade of one out of ten for a book review. Confused and hurt, she asked her hundred-and-thirty-year-old English teacher why the low mark? The wizened schoolmarm sniffed, "You obviously had a senior do it for you." Thankfully Robyn's business teacher was a honey.
Following a fifteen-year career behind the scenes in television, Robyn knew the time was right to pursue her dream of becoming a published author. Late in 2004, she received a phone call from a London editor. She'd submitted a manuscript to the Sweet line, which were featuring lighter, sexier stories to be released under the Tango banner. The editor was very interested in her story, but for a brand new line.
Robyn didn't stop smiling for a week, but sometime later learned her revised manuscript hadn't hit the mark. Then she received another call and another request for revisions to a second manuscript! That didn't sell either. On a third manuscript she received a very long, very detail email, asking for, what would turn out to be, a complete rewrite. Having torn out most of her hair, but with 13 contest finals in 2006 (including winning the Golden Pen and Where the Magic Begins), she finished the rewrite then contacted a New York agent. That wonderful agent took her on, and Robyn sold in a matter of weeks, first to Silhouette Desire, then Modern Heat (Sexy Sensation/Presents) with a two book deal! She is currently writing manuscript number fourteen.
Robyn lives with her own modern-day hero on Australia's Sunshine Coast with their three little princesses, as well as two poodles and a cat called Tinkie. She has majors in English literature and psychology, and loves new shoes, worn jeans, visits to the theatre and lunches at picturesque Moffat Beach with her writer friends.

The hero Pace spends his days working as a mechanic for an upmarket car manufacturer, but he is much more than a simple mechanic - he is the co-owner, an engineer, as well as a millionaire. The heroine Phoebe is a host on a local TV show and has met Pace a few times as his company, or the company he works for as she thinks, is one of the show's sponsors. Pace is very attracted to Phoebe and has asked her out a couple of times but disappointingly she has always turned him down. Phoebe is also very attracted to Pace, but a couple of bad relationships in the past has made her a little hesitant. She does eventually agree and she is wined, dined, and seduced in body and mind by Pace. The chemistry between them is fierce and their relationship moves pretty fast, Pace soon realises he wants more from Phoebe. But he still hasn't told her exactly who, and what, he is and with Phoebe's fear of being heartbroken again he doesn't know how to tell her.
I enjoyed this book. There is a really nice blend of aspiration (as you would expect from a Modern) and realism. Both the hero and heroine are likeable and strong characters, and their relationship is built beautifully by the author making it believable. It's also chock full of passion! There is also a bit of sadness in the book, which adds real depth to the story.
Overall this is a nice story that is an interesting read.

I mean.. it's just another harlequin story that I'm probably going to forget everything about in a week.

It was forgettable with nothing even corny to remember.

Not a bad story, even if the heroine is a bit exaggerating. But the wording and the punctuation is a bit confusing. So mostly I have to reread two or three times in order to understand what the sentence means.
