Lyon'S Share

Rating:
Summary: no more snow
Review: I regard Janet Dailey's Americana series as modern-historical comic books. No insult intended. There are many of them (one for each state) in this series of somewhat short novels which reflect the good old non pc days --- interesting for a change, sometimes.

In this story Joan Somers is secretary to Brandt Lyon, handsome, successful owner of Lyon Construction company. Joan has harbored a secret crush on Brandt for years but he has never noticed her because she hides behind conservative attire, hairstyles, and glasses. Then just the two of them become snowed in together at the office for the weekend and with no power they have to keep each other warm. Sounds more prurient than it really gets --- they end the snow-in with Brandt just realizing that Joan is much more attractive than he had realized. Seems to me they spend the rest of their time bickering ---Joan acting prudish and Brandt acting macho.

For whatever reason, I didn't think they had any chemistry and could barely finish this book. Maybe others will have a different opinion --- see for yourself.
