Summary: A disappointing read
Review: Louden Avery informs San Francisco Herald reporter Cait Sullivan that the popular "Fantasy for Hire" firm provides services other than male stripping at bachelorette parties. Louden insists sexual favors are exchanged for large sums of money. Cait, who reports on fluffy good news, always dreamed of being an investigative journalist. She sees this as her opportunity to become a CNN reporter even as she wonders why Louden selected her. Cait decides to go underground. She meets Jordan McBride, who is temporarily running "Fantasy for Hire" while his brother goes on a honeymoon (see CHRISTMAS FANTASY for Austin McBride's tale). Cait and Jordan, an architect, feel an immediate attraction for one another. She gives him $2000 so she can receive the "works". As Jordan provides Cait with her VALENTINE FANTASY, they fall in love with one another. However, he thinks she is a young lady with a large trust fund. When he learns the truth, Cait wonders if her budding relationship will end even as she firmly believes that "Fantasy for Hire" is innocent of Louden's charges. Though it can stand alone, VALENTINE FANTASY is an engaging contemporary romance that makes for a fine companion piece to Janelle Denison's CHRISTMAS FANTASY. Author Jamie Denton showcases her storytelling abilities by keeping the essence of the lead characters that starred in Ms. Denison's novel, but fully incorporating them into this delicious plot. The story line is fun, as the enticing lead characters' "fantasy courtship" makes for an entertaining tale. Ms. Denton provides sub-genre fans with a pleasurable novel.
