"Knight Errant Incorporated. Damsels in distress a Specialty," were Gregor McLeod's first words to Juliet, which, besides annoying her because of the obvious play on her name, was also irksome because of the blatant flirting. Juliet, bleeding from a freshly broken heart, was not prepared for any playboy banter when she called for help to repair a broken window, let alone from the one man who had haunted her memory from years past. Back when she was an impoverished too-skinny little girl, she'd been hopelessly smitten when Gregor compassionately intervened against her bullies. Ever devoted to him, she'd followed him longingly until he disappeared from her life shortly afterwards. Never quite forgiving him for vanishing so completely, it was now with mixed feelings that she found him once again in her life. And this time with a very different feelings between them. Was Juliet going to be able to break away from her secret admiration for him, or was she in danger of caving into his steamy advances?
I loved this book! Liz did a great job keeping me glued to the pages.
What did you think of the scene when he
finally remembers who she is? I loved it. I thought that the build-up to it was just great.

Yes, that scene was great...
...as were so many of the others! I really do believe in the sub-conscious mind retaining information that doesn't immediately come back to remembrance, don't you? I also thought it was hilarious that she kept referring to Gregor as the 'odd job man', especially since, we the readers, knew he'd been helping her with the window because he wanted an excuse to flirt with her, and was really a wealthy businessman.
Juliet's 'thing' with making lists in her life was funny, too. I kind of connected with that, but for a different reason. I make lists for myself all the time because if I don't I have a tendency to forget everything (scatterbrained)!

Yes, you definitely should, Sheandeen!
I'm impressed by Liz's style of writing. Her male characters are gentle, but sexy.
