 Funny romance by Graham September 28, 2008
I definitely found the story to be funny and enjoyable. Lynne Graham never ceases to disappoint. However, I just found the heroine a tad to ditsy for me. But other than that still a very good read.
Great Read September 24, 2007
From the Back Cover:
Cesar Valverde was the man with everything-stunning good looks, wealth and a bachelor lifestyle. But Cesar knew it would please his ailing godfather more then anything if he got married, preferably to Dixie Robinson... Well, perhaps a temporary engagement to Dixie would be enough to please Cesar's Godfather.
But Cesar discovered Dixie was a beautiful, sensual virgin, and he couldn't help but make love to her. Cesar's bachelor days were over! Within a week, he was standing at the altar, and Dixie was his bride-though unbeknown to Cesar, she was also the mother of his child!
Comments:
I was a bit skeptical about reading this book because it was written several years ago and I wasn't sure if it would be interesting today - I WAS WRONG. This book was enjoyable, the characters likeable and the interaction between the H & H was laughable.
Cesar is an alpha male sometimes, rude, clueless and domineering but definitely likeable. He sometimes went out of his way to make Dixie happy and you can tell these two where made for each other. Dixie sometimes came across as clueless and naive, but she always had a good reason for her actions.
It is truly funny how their unintentional humor bounces off each other, to the point of being comical and had me laughing out loud.

Pick a comfy spot where you can laugh out loud without disturbing anyone and settle in to devour one of the best light-hearted romances ever ... highly recommended, five stars just doesn't seem good enough for this book!
Description from the book back cover:
It started with a ring ... and ended in marriage! Cesar Valverde was the man with everything. But his beloved godfather was in poor health, and Cesar knew that it would please Jasper if he got married, preferably to Dixie Robinson ... Well, perhaps a temporary engagement would be enough to make Jasper happy ... Beneath Dixie's baggy sweaters Cesar discovered a beautiful, sensual woman. Within a week his bachelor days were over; Dixie had become his wife for real, and, unbeknown to him, the mother of his child!
My favorite Harlequin so far (i'd give it 6 stars if i could) May 17, 2006

I don't read much Harlequin, except for Lynne Graham's, I guess, and i don't like her books unconditionally either. But this one is absolutely wonderful.
Cesar Valverde is a darn smart, filthy rich, amazingly sexy... sarcastic, cold, inhuman... parental-neglect survivor. Yet Cesar would do *anything* for his terminally-ill godfather. To please him, Cesar will fake falling in love and getting engaged to his godfather's "pet". I guess on the inside Cesar is quite sweet.:-)
The "pet" would be our heroine, Dixie; bookish, dowdy, unintentionally-hilarious... warm and kind-hearted.
Dixie's to her throat in debt (due to her family), so she'll act as Cesar's fiancee. Around one third of the book watch Cinderella bloom, and Cesar fight total meltdown tooth and nail.
Then watch the tables really turn and Cesar fall head-over-heels for Dixie's warmth. It's quite endearing. He learns to watch his tongue and gets hilariously jealous. First he growls like a grizzly bear, then he does all he can to ingratiate himself with Dixie (the parts where he's trying to get Dixie's pets on his side, and where he quotes Dixie as he turns down a model's sexual advances are just so funny). There's more to go. From all of Graham's couples, i love Dixie and Cesar best.
