Synopses & Reviews
Melissa Romney-Jones can bake a perfect sponge cake, type her little heart out, and plan a party blindfolded. But none of that has helped her get far in life or in love. When she gets sacked -- again -- she decides to market her impeccable social skills to single men. To avoid embarrassing her father, a Member of Parliament, Melissa dons a blonde wig and becomes "Honey," a no-nonsense bombshell who helps clueless bachelors shop, entertain, and navigate social minefields. She even attends parties if a client needs a "date." But when a dashing American starts to request Honey's services on a regular basis, it's only a matter of time before Honey's and Melissa's worlds collide....

Review
"A fabulous book. Melissa's adventures both as herself and as Honey are funny, romantic and relatable. She is such a loveable, sensitive, fallible character that the reader can't wait to see what marvelous thing she is going to do next. The supporting characters of her friends and family, from the yummy Jonathan to her scowling, unappreciative father, are all well developed and interesting in and of themselves . . . Browne has given the reader not only a witty, romantic love story but also a character that the reader cannot wait to read more about."
--Romantic Times (4 stars, Top Pick)
