Ari Kelly has it all - a stunning new job following her smash thesis, and her perfect boyfriend, a surgeon no less, has just proposed.  However, things are definitely too good to be true.  A tabloid has gotten hold of that thesis and twisted everything she stated.  Now her study on the links between computerized phone systems and stress has been turned into a full-force attack linking them to death.  What is worse, the owner of Simon Says, one of the country’s leading answering system production companies, blames her for the mess.  And she can also kiss her wonderful job and perfect fiancé goodbye.  Her job is put on hold until the proper funding comes into play, but her fiancé takes the cake.  He wants to put their wedding on hold until she “clears up this mess she’s gotten into.”  So much for true love…

Simon Masterson is furious with Ari, but after meeting her.  Simon needs more.  He needs to be with her.  Unfortunately, she wants nothing to do with relationships.  Simon is going to prove he is in for whatever she has to dish out, even if it is just a brief fling.  Simon knows what he wants and won’t stop until he gets it.  No matter what the cost.

HUNG UP ON YOU is the perfect antidote to the winter blues.  After a month of no sun, rain and some snow, I was really in need of a pick me up!  Holly Jacobs came to my rescue.

Simon made my top ten favorite heroes.  He’s pushy, a bit arrogant, but oh so determined to be part of Ari’s life.  His comical nature and zest for life made him sexy, and we all know that most men enjoy watching a woman’s behind.  So you can’t fault him for that!  I think Holly Jacobs did an outstanding job at capturing the male persona.  My hat is off to her!
