Before Fran Santini’s fiancée left her for her best friend, he swindled her out of her inheritance.  Fran takes a job as a honey trapper to try to replace the money before her family learns what happened.  At a local pub, Fran is certain she has found the man she was hired to catch cheating.  However, after making a scene and embarrassing herself, she learns that she was, as usual, wrong.   

Travis O’Connell was looking for a job and during his interview he realizes that the daughter of his would-be boss is none other than the deranged woman who attacked him at the pub the night before.  Nonetheless, Travis is drawn to the dark-haired beauty and feels the need to come to her rescue. 

Overall, this was a cute book with likeable characters.  It is easy to relate to Fran trying to hide her foolishness with her former fiancée.  It would have been better if there had been more detail of how she came into this line of work and the consequences of failing to do the job well.  There was not much chemistry between Fran and Travis, as they really never spent much time in the same place at the same time and there wasn’t a lot of telling dialogue between the two, the chemistry is mostly conveyed through their inner thoughts.  The story seemed to skip between scenes to frequently and the pacing seemed to drag a bit.
