Title: The Real Thing Author: Barbara Delinsky type of book: Romance call number: Fic

This book is strong in character and story.

Summary:
Two strangers, looking for an escape from their troubled lives, find themselves alone on a remote island at the vacation home of a mutual friend. This friend led each of them to believe that they would have the home completely to themselves. Annoyed that they were thrown together by this well meaning friend, they take an immediate dislike to one another. Gradually, they come to realize that a marriage of convenience may be the answer to both of their problems.

I would recommend this book!

Why?
The story was interesting and believable, and the characters were well developed. Following their relationship as it evolved and finding out the outcome of their marriage of convenience was enjoyable. The bedroom scenes, however, are graphic
