"amusing romantic suspense"
His current class consists of seven students, but one of
them stands out for polo instructor Nicholas Kaharchek. It
is not that Billie Pearce is extraordinary in any sense
except that she does not belong near a horse let alone a
polo field. His thoughts prove prophetic when her horse
steps on her foot. Nick takes the injured pupil to the
hospital. To his chagrin, Nick is attracted to Billie, a divorcé with
two children currently on vacation with their father. She
likes him too and offers the use of her presently empty
nest home for his lunatic cousin Deedee to stay. He jumps
at the offer, but wonders where the attached strings are
even as he falls in love with the one student who flunked
polo 101. Though readers will not pull out a plum, fans of amusing
romantic suspense will enjoy the remake of FULL HOUSE by
Janet Evanovich with the help of Charlotte Hughes. The
story line never takes itself seriously as the antics of
Billie and the support cast leaves a bemused and bewildered
Nicholas wondering who is in the asylum if the folks he
cherishes roam the streets?
