Satisfaction

When you first pick up a book - something must catch your eye to draw it in. Maybe it's the title. Or colors on the cover, 0r the cover design. Then if you're a bit more particular, you check out the flyleaf or the backcover for more information on this book that is drawing you in. But every so often, even after you have read all the particulars, and you think you are just getting a typical book in your favorite genre, you get a surprise. Who the hell wrote the backcover copy anyway? Did they read this book? Sometimes it is even a pleasant surprise like Satisfaction by Marianne Stillings.

The back cover says that Georgiana is a tv show personality like Martha Stewart. Ethan is a private eye. Okay, it starts out as a cute romance. He has to protect her on her set where there are a lot of accidents lately. She then cooks her way into his heart.

Maybe in some other book!

The back cover left out the blackmail, the date rape, the secret family, the ties to the mafia, and a murder. Yeah. He is not what he seems. She is tougher than she looks and together they learn to trust each other and solve the mysteries that surround them. Stillings has written some good characters and a driving, fast paced book. Could of fooled me! A fun read.
