Crime and Engagement

I haven't read a Harlequin book in years and have never read one from the Flipside series. The title had me interested, and after the first chapter I couldn't put it down. I read the whole book in one evening. My only complaint is that it wasn't long enough!

This was a good choice to end the Flipside series; it was a light and witty read. Two combative coworkers - Madison and Colin - need each others' help to save their company from ruin. Someone in the company is responsible for embezzling money, and Colin is the prime suspect. As he works to clear his name, he also "works" as Madison's finance, when she concocts a scheme to fool her father into believing she wants marriage and family. Obviously, the farce turns into real romance for the couple. Some of the lines are particularly witty and the story overall is much better than some in the series have been.

This book was very well written, entertaining and hilarious. A great poolside/beach read. Although I read it from my sofa, I could not put it down and read it in one night! I am definately going to purchase more Nikki Rivers, old and new, I am so glad I came across this exciting author.
