I received this book for Christmas and that very night, I snuggled up in bed and read the whole thing--much to my husband's chagrin. Annabel is the perfect workaholic Ms. Scrooge in this novel. She is so bent on making her business work, that she ignores all of the pleasures life has to offer. Namely that of love. That is until she is reunited with her old crush, Quinn. She's delighted to see him and what's more he's just as happy to see her. He does everything in his power to make her see the beauty in life and within herself. Ms. Sharpe puts a steamy twist on an old tale that is guaranteed to warm not only your heart, but your body as well.
Delightful contemporary romance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
In Milwaukee workaholic Chef Tonight personal chef and owner Annabel Brightman never has time for fun as she spends seemingly all her time catering dinners for her clients. Annabel's brother John, teaching at Rollins College, Florida, worries about his sibling. He asks his friend Quinn Garrett in town on business to look up his sister. Quinn spent the best year of his life as an exchange student living with the Brightmans sixteen years ago; he had a crush on Annabel, but did nothing about it. Now Quinn has built a computer company in California that makes the highly regarded top selling holoscope. When Quinn sees Annabel for the first in all these years, he knows his crush still exists, but he is no longer the shy foreign high school student. He plans to court Annabel in hopes she will love him as much as he loves her. However, first he has to fit into her schedule. BEFORE I MELT AWAY is a delightful contemporary romance starring two wonderful hard working and hard loving individuals who bring to life Milwaukee. Fans will enjoy the antics of Quinn as he uses his business acumen and his PC skills to enable him to court Annabel, whose schedule will tire the audience as she seems as if she is on call 24/7. Together she and Quinn provide a blazing in a sense second chance at love tale. Harriet Klausner
