After Leanne Jameson’s marriage ended
in divorce she went into business with two other divorced
friends to offer the men out there the conveniences of
having a wife, without the trouble of actually having one.
As part of Wives-R-Us Leanne hosts dinner parties, organizes
homes and does general household management jobs for their
clients. However, when Dr. Mike calls asking for Leanne’s
help he is asking more than they usually offer, but Leanne
can’t resist because he is offering an exorbitant amount of
money and he is a sexy devil.
Dr. Mike Andrews is in trouble and he
knows it. He is a well-known marriage councilor who has
neglected to let it be known that he is divorced – because
his wife left him for another man! Before that wasn’t much
of an issue, but now that he is courting a book contract for
a “marriage manual” it could torpedo his efforts. But when
he meets Leanne Jameson he thinks up the perfect solution –
she can host a dinner party he is throwing and pose as his
wife! What could go wrong with this scenario – more things
than Dr. Mike ever considered possible…
Let Me Entertain You is a light-hearted and
sexy romp that will take you back to the romances that your
mother used to read. Leanne is a quirky heroine that is
charming and old-fashioned in her dress, behavior and
attitudes. It is interesting to watch her evolve from rigid
traditional femininity – stockings and all, to a more
realistic picture of a woman who manages a home, business
and children. Mike is the perfect single father who manages
to combine work, family obligations and a personal life to
achieve what seems like a perfect life. Overall, the plot
of the book is not very original as it turns around the
pretense of Leanne and Mike being married and having them
falling in love during their performance. Also, so many
obstacles are thrown in their path, only to be swept away
with a simplistic resolution, that they felt false and as
expedient plot devices to extend the book. Leanne wasn’t as
attractive as she presents herself as a “Suzy home-maker”
that is at a loss with her life without a man to take care
of and a home to manage. Mike, however, flips between being
a completely modern “single dad” to ultra conservative
marriage councilor that holds that divorce is not an
acceptable course of action. Still, the book is full of
sexy encounters between Leanne and Mike that will distract
you from the books shortcomings and the over abundance of
stereotypical characters. Let Me Entertain You
is an amusing and sexy story, despite the old-fashioned
characters. |
