"Fun lighthearted hot blooded masquerade tale"

Financial analyst Laurel Malone has a strict rile that she will never date anyone from her father's Wall St. brokerage. Laurel fills out a magazine's questionnaire on the type of male she desires, but upon completing the test she leaves the magazine behind. Stockbroker Ted Tolliver III, who desires Laurel, picks it up to learn the type of male that she wants.

Tired of being the good daughter, Laurel wants a fling with a bad dude, but with her doing the manhandling. Mac changes his attire from suit to biker because he plans to make it with Laurel. He also acts like he owns the world with no cares. However, as they fall in love, he wonders how to tell her that he is really a stockbroker working for her father.

Kind of reminiscent of Steve Gutenberg's role in The Boyfriend School (without his health problems), this is a fun lighthearted hot blooded masquerade tale. The lead duet is an interesting ﷯﷯﷯match﷯﷯﷯-up because Mac wonders if Laurel fell in love with someone who is not real or did she see deep past the biker shell to his soul. Though the disguising of Mac seems to take too long to unravel, contemporary fans will want to read Laurel's heated MANHANDLING of her beloved biker and her broker.
