"SUITED FOR SEDUCTION
Fashion curator Athena Smith will do anything to get her perfectly manicured hands on the Clayworth family's celebrated couture collection for her exhibit. So when she's called in to make sure the gowns are the real deal, she's ecstatic...until a dress she's examining turns out to be loaded with toxins (talk about killer threads!) and Athena faints, only to wake up face-to-face with the One That Got Away, notorious Chicago bachelor Drew Clayworth.
Drew still believes Athena betrayed him all those years ago, and he's sure he can't trust her. But when the priceless gowns go missing, she offers to help track them down. Reluctantly allied in the quest, Drew and Athena are soon stunned by the barely restrained passion still sizzling between them...and memories both bitter and sweet. Is their new partnership just a business arrangement? Or is this something more than...
A BLACK TIE AFFAIR"
Of course, I am a hopeless romantic. I am truly in love with my Husband. I knew from the first moment I saw him (and his leather jacket!!) that he was going to be my Husband one day.
Here we are 11 years later (almost 7 married) and I love him more and more each day.
So when I read a book about long lost love that endures all, of course I get emotional about it!!!
This was one of them.
Athena was a teenager when she realized how much in love with Drew she was, but a secret revealed, caused them to break apart.
Athena thought she was completely over Drew. She moved on with her life and became a Museum Curator specialising in vintage fashion.
Athena is given the opportunity to see, and possibly acquire dresses from a famous Socialite Bertha Palmer. Of course these dresses are owned by her teenage love Drew Clayworth and his very rich and powerful family.
While checking out the dresses, Athena is suddenly stricken with a strange illness and rushed to the hospital.
Drew is called and hurries to the hospital. While there, the dresses come up missing, and Athena and Drew are forced together to find them.
There is no real mystery to anything, and alot of things are very predictable, but there are alot of very funny and heart warming parts to this book.
It was a very short read for me, but I loved it.
