Rating: 4 out of 5

A surprisingly entertaining sleeper--I was not expecting much from this book--judging by the title. It just shows to go you that one musn't judge a book by its cover--or by its title. A surprisingly innovative and original storyline and satisfying read. The story of Mr. Love pokes marvelous fun at the epublishing industry and the genre of chick lit escape fiction. Plus it offers the main characters, a failed novelist-professor, Gordon Rushworth, who bangs out a bodice-ripper bestseller under the non de plume, or should I say, nom de guerre, VIola Usher, but he can't get anyone to publish his epic opus, and the Manhattan literary agent/sleuth Jane Cooper, who ferrets out Viola Usher. They are both veteran bunglers of the heart, this story gives them a second chance at redemption, and love, to boot.
