PARK AVENUE Apartment: 12C TENANT: Carrie Gray, the proverbial girl-next-door SCANDAL: Will she marry for money? Millionaire media mogul Trent Tanford had one week to find a wife...or lose his empire. But none of his current Manhattan flings met his father's stringent standards. Then Trent noticed the innocent house sitter next door. In tortoiseshell glasses and loose T-shirts, Carrie Gray surely had no skeletons in her closet. But how would she feel about...marital duties, so vital to a virile man like Trent? Trent had the money and the charm to convince her, but he'd never spoken a word to Carrie.... How was he going to ask, "Will you marry me?"
Trent and Carrie are contentious neighbors. He is a licentious playboy and she is a conscientious artist. When he is ordered to marry to stop a scandal, Carrie helps him out, and he in return becomes someone she can truly count on. I loved the hero and heroine- they had such great chemistry! This was my favorite entry by FAR in this series of novels. Most likable protagonists, best cast of supporting characters and just all-round the most fun to read- maybe because the two leads really like one another, and it shows in how they're written. Too many of these other books had couples who resented one another and/or resented loving one another. These two were just right.
