"A Successful Matchmaking Grandfather"

A Successful Matchmaking Grandfather

Harry Sander's grandfather, Joe Jacobsen, is a matchmaker extraordinaire. Several of his previous match making schemes had come to fruition so he is on a roll; he decides Harry needs a wife and who is more perfect than Megan MacGregor.

Harry likes women and has no intention of marrying any time soon. Little does he know that his grandfather is up to his old tricks! When his grandfather informs him that he is starting a new program in the company and that Harry will be a mentor for Megan, he rebels. He never had gotten along with Megan and wants no part of being her mentor but with the vice-presidency carrot hanging over his head, he agrees to take her on.

Megan is outraged that she is to have Harry as her mentor; she has never liked the man who she believes only got the job because of being the grandson of the CEO. She is an intelligent business woman taking care of her mother who is inflicted with multiple sclerosis and hoping to move up in the company. She has no choice but to accept her new mentor.

Harry and Megan fight but find themselves very attracted to each other and discover that they actually work very well together. Now, if they can only keep their hands off of each other....

THE PLAYBOY'S PROTEGEE is a light-hearted story of two people trying to make good career moves little realizing that they are being manipulated by matchmaker, Joe Jacobson, who is so successful with his matchmaking skills that he is unerringly able to find the right couple that belong together. After all hasn't he proven that in Michele Dunaway's previous books? I particularly enjoyed the emails between Grandpa Joe and his son, Andrew (Harry's father). THE PLAYBOY'S PROTEGEE is an enjoyable, one sit read for a summer afternoon. It flows well and is an enjoyable read.
