Summary: All is fair in love
Review: Alethea Pemberton had her mother Eleanor and her sister Maxine to judge bad marriages by, but she had to do something, she wanted to get a place of her own, but she knew her mother wouldn't like it. Maxine's husband Keith was now facing charges of stealing for his company, having an affair, and letting his children do without support.
Eleanor expected no less from men. Alethea's father had left home when she was 10.
Now Maxine, her 3 kids Polly,Sadie,Georgia and a housefull of furniture from Maxine's home now take up space at Eleanor's house.
Alethea was going to a party, she met Trenton de Havilland, the head of SEC Trent asked her to dance, and he didn't seem to want to talk, so Alethea though he didn't enjoy the dance. Alethea was nervous at the begining. She said she didn't dance, but then she changed that to she didn't know the Viennese Waltz. Alethea went home, but before she could get comfortable, the phone rang, it was Trent. He asked her to have dinner with him, she excepted. It just happened to be the company that her brother-in-law stole from.
Trent met Eleanor and they didn't hit it off. Although Trent did hit his shins on one of the many pieces of furniture taking up most of the space in their home.
Eleanor warned Alethea not to go out with him again, but Maxine begged her to talk to Trent about Keith, and ask him not to press charges against her children's father.
Alethea worked up the nerve to ask Trent some days later, and Trent came up with a way for both of them to have what they wanted. She wanted to move, and he wanted her to move in with him.
Alethea turned him down, but Maxine pleaded with her to help, and this is the only way Trent is going to forget the money stolen from him.
Alethea gives in and moves in with Trent. But she keeps looking for another place, she finds one and Trent is angry.
Trent fell in love with Alethea the moment he met her, and it took Alethea a few more months to fall for Trent but when she did, she fell hard.This is a very funny book, Trent trying to get Alethea to get to know him, so he can let her see what a nice guy he is, and he had completely forgotten about the money her brother-in-law stole.
I really liked this book, but I disagree with the choice given for other books, I like Susan Fox, Helen Brooks, Rebecca Winters, the late Essie Summers, and the late great Betty Neels
