Synopsis

Isn't there some sort of limit on thrills?

Clay Granger thrived on life in the fast lane. He wasn't afraid to take on his friend Izzy's "problem." Besides, a temporary wife was just what he needed; matchmakers were making his life miserable.

Izzy Fabrioni was pregnant and alone, except for her best friend, Clay, who just happened to be the most eligible bachelor in the world. The most eligible and the riskiest. He'd do anything just for the thrill of it—including marrying her!

The roller-coaster ride begins...

For the Thrill of It!

"Ever a master of characterization and sexual tension, Patricia Ryan...is sure to heat up our reading pleasure!"

"Some of the wittiest characters I've had the pleasure to meet in a long time!"

About this title

Review:

When Izzy Fabrioni finds herself pregnant and single, she moves from San Francisco back to the East Coast, determined to find a way to make it on her own. But she has no idea how her very-proper parents are going to take her news. Then, at a friend's party, she runs into an old buddy, playboy and thrill-seeker Clay Granger. Izzy is stunned when Clay offers to marry her. This, from the man who's been practically a big brother. This from the man who can't get far enough away from commitments. But, Clay explains, marriage is the perfect solution for both of them. Izzy will gain respectability, while he'll get a break from all the marriage-minded women continually tagging after him. After all, Izzy and Clay have been friends since high school, and Clay figures that they can both have what they want. He'll continue to have his affairs, albeit discreetly, and Izzy will get a home and a father for her baby. But neither of them counted on love. Before he knows it, Clay finds himself thinking less about his latest thrill-seeking stunt and more about being a proper husband. And Izzy begins wishing against wish that she and Clay could have become more than just friends. The marriage vows are barely out of their mouths when Clay and Izzy begin wondering how two such smart people could have gotten themselves into such a mess.Pat Ryan takes a popular plot and makes it new again! A true 90's take on the marriage of convenience! Pat Ryan will make you laugh out loud and touch your heart! Flip, funny and feisty, Izzy Fabrioni is easy to root for! Some of the wittiest characters I've had the pleasure to meet in a long time!Annette Carney -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc. All rights reserved -- From Literary Times
