"Up close and personal—with her bodyguard!
It seems mayor's daughter Miranda Kravitz has scored herself a new and very dreamy bodyguard! Apparently the fireworks between them are scorching, but will this tabloid darling really be willing to give up her newfound taste for freedom—no matter how gorgeous Tyler Brannigan is?
Rumor has it Brannigan hates playing by the rules and has used up all his strikes with the NYPD vice squad. So now this cop's paying his dues with a temporary assignment as babysitter. If anyone can keep this Manhattan princess in check, surely it's this tough-guy detective? Hopefully handcuffs won't be necessary!" ~ From Goodreads
Contemporary romance at its freshest! Just look at the colorful Spring cover! Her Man In Manhattan has enough suspense to keep things fast pace, a hottie-crumpy bodyguard to keep things interesting, and a celebutante with a big heart and big plans to ditch the afformentioned bodyguard stirring trouble. Then Ms. Wylie adds attraction, few hot battle of wills and we got one entertaining romance. Whats with the no sex though? :( That's one star off the collar.
I really enjoyed Tyler's brooding tough guy image, his irish charm and his protective instinct, the candle he was burning for 'the other girl' I didn't get but I think it was from a previous novel of the brothers. I enjoyed his wit and his tactics to keep Miranda at bay, yummy stuff!
Miranda was very likeable after the first few pages where she's, let's face it, bit snobby. But you soon get to see her desire to be more than a mayor's trophy daughter and political tool and her heart for those less fortunate. Ofcourse her antics in escaping her private security to have some free time with her bestfriend are entertaining and her banter with Tyler amusing and flirty.
If you are looking for a sweet but flirty fun novel set in a big town with the local celebrity and a brooding bodyguard have a match of wills and wit, then look no further! Here you go, Her Man In Manhattan!
