    5.0 out of 5 stars I thoroughly enjoyed this story!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2004
    Natalie owns a small and up and coming modeling agency, which Adam uses for his 'Fantasy Girl' cosmetic line. When Adam finds out his brother-in-law is having an affair with one of Natalie's models he demands to meet with her ASAP. When they meet, Adam is very attracted to her, but threatens to pull his business unless she can get her model to end the affair. Their attraction grows and they begin to date, but their relationship gets complicated by various family members who are part of the problem and solution.

    This is a fast read with well developed characters. The story will make you laugh, but at times also make you mad at how manipulative family can be!

    Thank goodness this is romance fiction and is supposed to have a Happily Ever After...

    I bought this book knowing it was written in early 80s bc I usually like the old ones better than the cookie cutter new ones. I knew the male would be older and alpha. I still was disappointed that he was rude and arrogant most of the time and couldn't believe the part where she slapped him and he slapped her back. Very surprised that wasn't edited out. That is never acceptable

    Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2017
    I'm going with 3 stars because the grammar, syntax, etc...all correct. She also wrote the story in the third person, which is my preference. There seems to be a trend amongst modern romance novels to be all first person now and I detest this.

    The book was written in 1983 and you can tell immediately because it hasn't aged well. The characters were stereotypical and the plot contrived. It hits every major trope of it's era, complete with frequent gasps of outrage, angry storming entrances and overly dramatic forceful kisses. And about 20% of the story involved one of their offices trying to get the other on the phone. Seriously, not even exaggerating, 20% of the plot.
    Despite these cavernous plotholes, I can't find it in my heart to 1 star the author. She isn't a bad writer, this book just doesn't work for 2017. I bet she'd be aces at historical novels.

    Fantasy Girl by Carole Mortimer
    Harlequin Presents # 611 - July 1983

    Natalie Faulkner's modeling agency had landed a very lucrative contract from Thornton Cosmetics when Natalie's sister Judith became the new "Beauty Girl". But the new contract could easily be the ruin of Natalie's small business when Judith has a flagrant affair with the Thornton Cosmetics' Vice President of PR, who just happens to be Adam Thornton's brother-in-law. Adam has worked hard to make his Company a global force in the beauty world and he's very protective of his sister, Tracy. Adam's covered up his BIL Jason's affairs for years, because he knew that Tracy would be devastated. So Adam plays tough with Natalie for her to get Judith to back off, only Adam doesn't know that the "Beauty Girl" happens to be Natalie's sister, and when he does, he shows Natalie the power he welds in the business world. Only Adam and Natalie can't stay enemies; their attraction is very intense. And when they begin an affair, Natalie fears that Adam will believe she's just protecting her firm and sealing a deal for the new "Fantasy Girl" campaign.

    I really enjoyed this one. There were a few amazing battles of wills and a wonderful scene where Adam eats some delicious crow. Both Natalie and Adam are very likeable, and the secondary characters were perfect for the plot and conflict. When Adam and Natalie are not butting heads, their chemistry is wonderful. :D

    This book was originally published in 1983 so now very dated. Didn't like the idea of the threat of male beating the female and he did strike her across the face. Like Carole books, her newer ones much better.
