The Millionaire's Proposition

'Will You...When down-on-her-luck Becky Taylor was pursued by millionaire Clark Winstead, she thought her prince had finally arrived. But Becky blinked at Clark's offer. Clark wanted a mistress and child-but not a wife! Well, Becky refused to be seduced into motherhood. That is, unless Clark wooed her the old-fashioned way... Have My Baby? Clark believed his proposal-uh proposition-was the best solution. It skipped the marriage and jumped to the essentials: joint custody. But while Becky dreamed of white lace, Clark vowed never to walk down the aisle. Surely a powerful, sophisticated businessman couldn't be roped into commitment by a sweet virgin-or could he?' Just one aside, the woman on the cover has YELLOW teeth. Yuck!!! That almost turned me off reading the book, but I'm glad I did, It was as funny as Jessica Steele's books. Although I wish he could have tripped a few times.

A cute story, quick read. A modern day twist on an old theme -- clearly and unabashedly Cinderella. A day brightener.

Ironically, the reviewer below who said this book was like the movie A TOUCH OF MINK actually got me to set aside the rest of my TBR pile and read this book! And I'm really glad I did - I found THE MILLIONAIRE'S PROPOSITION to be wonderfully remniscent of the golden days of movies, although it actually isn't just like the movie cited (one of my favorites). It does have all the delicious optimistic flavor and fun of a Doris Day movie, which I appreciated. Natalie Patrick has a knack for witty banter between the hero and heroine while also keeping the characters sensitive and realistic. I recommend this book highly!
