Synopsis (Goodreads):
Molly Abberwick, trustee of her father's foundation and owner of Seattle's Abberwick Tea & Spice Company, has every intention of firing her new consultant. True, he's brilliant, sexy, and fascinating, but he's also arrogant, over-bearing and impossible. Dr. Harry Stratton Trevelyan has his own plans. To Molly's shock, he proposes a no-strings attached affair. Molly can't believe that he thinks there is any such thing as a simple, no-commitment relationship. But there is this strange attraction between them... Turns out Harry Trevelyan has a secret side. It involves paranormal premonitions and his family of composed of carnival illusionists, daredevils and psychics. Before Harry and Molly can find a way to overcome their personal issues, violence and a mysterious stalker crash into their lives. Now these two mismatched people will have to find a way to work together to survive.Thoughts on Absolutely, Positively: This is a book that I absolutely loved loved loved when I first read it. (Which was, erm, 20+ years ago now? WOW. Okay. Moving on.) Sometimes rereads of old favorites don't pack the same punch that they did back in the day. And when you love love love a book, picking it up to revisit it can either be FANTASTIC or kinda a downer.
Good news for me seeing as how I adored this book, but Harry and Molly were just as fun now as they were back then. Harry's a strictly structured individual who refuses to recognize that his "intuition" might be more than that. Molly comes from a long line of inventors who are a-okay with leaps of faith and following her gut. On the surface, they don't seem like they'd mesh, but BOY do they.
Molly's acceptance of Harry's peculiarities (or what he considers peculiarities) is exactly what he needs. She doesn't shy away from that side of him and she doesn't try to analyze him like his ex-fiancée. She also sees just how thin he's stretching himself in his effort to be accepted by both sides of his family.
Molly, being Molly, does something about it. She supports Harry in all things (unless, you know, he's being a jerk. Then she goes toe to toe with him.) and she takes steps to give him the peace he craves within his family.
A little danger, more than a few steamy moments, and a couple who work hard to make things work. An excellent reread all around.
