Scent Of A Woman

By Joanne Rock

Danielle Chevalier has a taste for the finer things in life, especially the lush, exotic scents she creates at her fragrance business. Under pressure from her brother to sell the small outfit, Danielle is thrilled when she's invited to an exclusive conference aboard the cruise ship Alexandra's Dream. There she hopes to gain contacts necessary to rally her business and avoid the devastation of a takeover. But Danielle's dreams have a harsh run–in with reality when she meets Adam Burns, a representative from a major U.S. competitor who is determined to outmanoeuvre her in negotiations.

Fighting off the advances of a competing fragrance company is hard enough, but resisting her attraction to Adam may prove to be the real battle and mixing business with pleasure may just cost her both.

Reviews for Scent Of A Woman

[aromagik · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I can't quite put my finger on a reason, but I'm just not feeling this book.

David Levinson is a psychiatrist for celebrities. Susan Carrington is an heiress with lots of insecurities and was an unsympathetic character at first. She seemed like the typical poor little rich girl. But after her backstory was revealed in the last quarter of the book, I found her insecurities about relationships believable. They first meet in a store while David is trying to pick out a scarf to buy for his sister. No names are exchanged. They decide to meet in a fancy hotel once a week where they act out sexual fantasies, but it never involves penetration :) Of course, as I would expect from a Harlequin, that doesn't happen until after they realize they are in love almost at the end of the book. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. A fast read, good sexual tension throughout and characters I liked. (Grade: B-)
