Rating:  Summary: Fit for a rainy day Review: As one who typically shys away from anything falling into thehyper-formulaic mold of "romance", I would also note that over the past few years a distinct handfull of writers in the genre have cro- pped up whose work exeudes an idionsyncratic panache rendering them nothing short of delicious. In my admittedly limited perspect- ive, K.G. is one such author. The seemingly meager 3 stars abo- ve takes its root in the oft-problematic prose in this novella and my own obstinant adherence to the near-obsolute four star system. Tact and pacing are frequently scattered to the wind throug- hout the book as Gold barrages us with a multitude of trysts and semi-quickies between hero Darin and heroine Fiona and while each is enchantingly steamy, Gold's frequent interruptions of these same scenes via supporting characters(from Darin's client to a be- llhop)efface them as either completly gratuitous or cack-handed attempts at comic relief. It's difficult to believe that this same auth- oress a mere few months ago so lucidly conveyed the smoldering telepathy between man and woman in "Expecting the Sheik's Ba- by"(also the only other work of hers I've had the pleasure of sa- mpling). In the hands of a more soulless scribe these conditions might prove fatal, but Gold's sparkling wit and hotter-than-coals chemis- try between Darin and Fiona(when she lets them the hell alone, that is) swiftly come to the rescue, wrapping itself up with a high- octane finale highlighting not only adventuorous sensibilites that would strike a chord with most guys, but a mastery of the farcial that I defy readers of either gender to not admire; the absurd and the erotic can in fact co-exist.
