Summary: Harlequin Presents October 2003 Edition
Review: Back Cover: The Wrong Bed! On holiday in Majorca, Jessica wakes from an erotic dream to find a stranger in her bed! Zac Prescott is as shocked as she is-he's there by accident-but he certainly likes what he sees! Though Jess asks him to leave, she secretly longs for more of his touch... When they meet again, an intense attraction flares between them. Then Zac propositions her! He needs a woman to pose as his fiancée to take home to his family, and he wants her to take the job. Jess is tempted by Zac's offer; she's dreamed of an opportunity to get closer to this deliciously handsome man.Misleading...both the title and the back cover. There are several things wrong with this book. Jessica was never Zac's mistress-that blew the plot. She was vacationing at her cousin's (Leonie) place needing a clean break from cheating Paul-her ex-cohabitant. Zac had a key to Leonie's place and dropped by, slipped into bed with Jessica ready for some stress free sex from one of his regulars. Jessica quickly wakes up and kicks him out. She runs into him again while out sightseeing the next day. He too easily talks her into pretending to be his fiancée for the benefit of his "dying" grandfather. Who knows how they really feel about one another, she's extremely insecure and paranoid of every woman that looks at him-including her cousin and author never lets reader know how Zac feels about Jessica. They confess to be in love (last 3 pages of the book) but not believable because they never came across as being a happy a couple, the just argue and have sex.

Summary: Not bad......
Review: This book is a bit formulaic, woman wakes up with a strange man(innocently of course), man wants woman to "pose as his fiancee" to relieve the mind of his sick grandfather, and we have a romance novel. The book was entertaining although I found the hero to be a liar, spoiled and very manipulative. The heroine was almost too naive, but it was a quick read and accomplished it's purpose.
