La Jolla, California - Present Day

Damon Torrance is a spoiled, rich playboy who is heir to Torrance Chocolates, the rag-to-riches little business his father started that grew and grew until it's worth mega bucks in the present day markets. Damon's technical expertise with computers is bringing Torrance Chocolates into the new millennium. Natasha Jennings is a talented administrative assistant who's just been hired by Damon's father, Jimmy. Damon needs help staying focused. He's all about fun and enjoying life. Why not?

Ten years later, Natasha has had enough of Damon's ego and quits her job. Now Damon is in a fix and has to get her back. How can he go on without the lovely Natasha to oversee the business side of Torrance Chocolates while he plays with the women? He's never seen Natasha for who she really is; she's just a convenient helpmate who accomplishes the work while he plays the field, enjoying the comforts his money brings. The only reason Damon hasn't tried to seduce Natasha is that she is married. (Somehow, after ten years, Damon is blissfully unaware of her divorce and the existence of her child.)

Natasha has had enough of Damon and his games. She's bailed him out of jail, saved his butt in countless blunders, and has stood by his side defending him. Now she has to move on to something more worthwhile. And when Natasha leaves, Damon's luck goes from bad to worse. Somehow he has to get her back, but how?

MELT INTO YOU is a light hearted romance full of passion, laughter, and lots of sex. The characters are lively; however, I could not get past the opening chapters. Damon's character shows no growth, he still acts like an adolescent and is not hero material in my eyes. I started the book unable to identify with his actions, and even though Natasha's character is a little better drawn, she's put up with too much, too long. If the reader can put Damon's trespasses aside, and suspend a considerable amount of disbelief, MELT INTO YOU can be a fun read.
