Another wonderful story and second read by this author. Love her writing, her humour and her characters but especially her unique stories. 
 Lanie Carmichael is a 28-yr old Chicago lawyer who is definitely NOT the typical drop-dead gorgeous female lead that romance stories depict. Kyle Manchester, however, IS the typical romance book boyfriend - tall, built, gorgeous - with a great sense of humour and he's also a talented journalist. 
 Lanie's in love with her co-worker Brad Jansen who happens to be her sister Cassie's boyfriend and Kyle's childhood friend. Brad asks Kyle to take out Lainie so she's not always the lonely third wheel and that she's actually a fan of his writing. On their 'date' Lainie asks for Kyle's help to get Brad to fall for her - and in return she'll give him the scoop on a Pulitzer-prize winning story linked to a case she's been working on. 
 The storyline then follows the Eliza Doolittle makeover of Lanie and the background behind her layers. As Kyle becomes her BFF and coaches her on the fine art of flirting and all things seduction, you get to see beyond his 'player' front and gain insight to his background. 
 Once again the author has injected this book with tons of humour and playful banter and great main characters [with some nasty supporting ones] - and a healthy helping of steamy romance.
