Hers For The Weekend

Rating:
Summary: A fine contemporary romance
Review: To keep her loving family off her back about her being single with no prospects while at a reunion, Piper Jamieson needs a man to pose as her loving boyfriend. Seeing no once since she ended an engagement, Piper has only one person she can turn to for help. She asks her co-worker and best friend Josh Weber to masquerade as her beau in front of her family.

Josh has mixed feelings about playing this role temporarily. Though he still dates, none of the women compare favorably in his mind to Piper. The three day weekend with her is the opportunity he seeks to expand their friendship into a permanent loving relationship, but to succeed in front of her family will be difficult. What he did not expect is the Jamison brood to root for him as he uses kisses to show Piper how much he cherishes her, but will she get the message that he wants caffeine not decaf?

Though the plot device has been used so often, it should feel trite, Tanya Michaels makes her fine contemporary tale feel fresh and lively due to a strong cast. The lead couple is a delightful pair as Josh has his chance, but knows how the odds stack up against him with his stubborn beloved. Piper is the classic example of why love is blind as she cannot see what every else knows. Still she is likable as her eyes become aware of Josh even when she sleeps. The family adds typical but amusing matchmaking interference. Fans receive a charming humorous romance.
