This turned out to be quite an undertaking, as they were never sold outside Australia. Happily, a nice lady on BookMooch had a copy and was prepared to send it to me if I paid the postage. (Thank you, Julia!)
So, it arrived yesterday. Am I disappointed? No, but it wasn't quite what I expected. The strapline says 'A very adult romance'; it isn't. There are references to sex, but no descriptive sex scenes. You could give it to your mother without embarrassment. What it is, is a standard romance with the genders reversed. The heroine is quite matter of fact about sex and wondering if she is doomed to nerds until she meets the hero. She isn't particularly good looking (her friend tries to make her over for a TV interview). The hero is introduced as a bodyguard and a good looking foil for her, but she knows nothing about him, not even his name. She spends a lot of time worrying if she is being sexist by admiring his looks. Anyway, she falls for him and pretty much drags him to bed, but a misunderstanding parts them and she spends the rest of the book trying to find him. Of course this is the early 90s, so a mobile phone is a thing of wonder.
An interesting trope, and well done. If I can get the other book in the series, I will.… (altro)
