It was a case of mistaken identity. Mel Brock thought that the gorgeous looking man in the foyer was a model. It turned out he was not; in fact, Sam Curtis was the childhood friend of Mel's business partner, Jeff.But, mistaken identity be dammed, it did not stop Jeff and Mel from hiring Sam to headline a nationl advertising campaign they were launching.But Mel found Sam irristible, just like the thousands of women, who were their target market. Describing Sam in her own words, Mel said, "He is ... gift to American women. But, if he is, then why does Mel feel jealous when Sam was doing his job of flirting with the women he was supposed to in the first place.Laugh out loud funny, "Faking Mr. Right" is a true contemporary romance touching on the effect of Madison Avenue on pop culture, the paparazzi's place in the news media and how personalities can use the same media to right a wrong.Kerry Connor has her finger on the pulse on the current zeitgeist as she created these funny and remarkable characters. You will love Mel and Sam, plus the plethora of supporting characters that were all fleshed out nicely to be three-dimensional.Oh, there were a few typographical errors but they were not enough for me to take out one star, hence I'm giving this book a 5-star rating. Also, this is PG 15 (not 13) because of some sexual content.
