"delightfully quirky debut from a fun writer"
They say opposites attract. In Get Bunny Love, a Zebra
Debut Romance by Kathleen Long, it's more like run away
train crashing rather than a simple attraction. And Long's
hero and heroine cannot be more opposite. Get Bunny Love
is
not `bunny love' but the name of the heroine (I kept
thinking of the old telly show Get Christie Love!).
Beatrice Love goes by the nickname of Bunny, and it tends
to suit her better. She is a graphics designer, working
out
of her home, but failing to make ends me. So she answers
the calls for an interview for an event planner for
McNulty
Events, owned by one Nate McNulty. A family owned
business,
Nate is doing his best to prove himself, and he needs one
special event to show his family he is here to stay. He is
a stuffy, control freak and that is reflected in the
dismal
offices Bunny faces. Bunny is a New Age sort of lass, a
bit
of a free spirit, not what the natty Nate thinks is good
for his firm, but he is desperate for an event planner.
Quickly, Bunny is arranging just not the big event - a dog
show - but re-arranging Nate's office, his staff and even
him. Bunny would like to do more than re-arrange Nate,
only
he is already engaged to a woman his family deems the
`proper type' for his wife. Nate must contend with finding himself and thwarting
someone who is determined to ruin the dog show and Nate's
chances of keeping control of the family business. At
times
he is really a bit of a pain, but we know our heroine
would
soon have him sorted out. Kathleen Long gives you an engaging premise, charming
characters and one fun read. Long is a fresh voices coming
from Zebra's debut line, and I am delighted with yet
another of their talented finds and look forward to more
her.

SummaryThe fur really flies--and so do the sparks--in this fresh
romantic comedy debut, featuring a happy-go-lucky heroine
and a buttoned-down, take-charge hero who work together to
promote a prestigious dog show. Original.
