down the harlequin rabbit hole

I found a good book. Had leafed thru a few duds. Btw, it's stormin Norman here. Light flicked couple times. Hope they don't go out. Mr x worried about his avocado plant. Too much rain may ruin the rhubarb. Munster's on. Cool family.

Anyway, current book is about a cyber mystery. High stakes. Set in lawyer firm. Usually I loathe lawyer spiels because I worked for a verbally abusive lawyer. But he was working at a school, as I've always worked at schools. # I like to carry a backpack

There are 2 brothers. Devastatingly handsome. The girl is 10# over, but they seem to have no qualms about it.

Now, if you've never read a Harlequin, it's formulaic. There's a devastatingly attractive man. He's rich, with a high powered job. He wears expensive clothes, drives an expensive car, lives in an expensive house.

The girl is young, pretty, giving a go at being independent. She is not rich, has a problem like a bad job or sick mother.

Guy meets girl. Guy is stone faced, girl sassy. He is instantly enamored. She is not. Guy rescues girl from various problems. She starts to appreciate his attractiveness, but resents his help. Blah, blah. Sexual tension mounts. Blah, blah. They break up. Come around. Big sexual event. They are one. # yawn

I read so many. Just because a box came my way. And decided they're not for me. This book is not a harlequin. But darned if they didn't slip one by the goalpost. This book is so like a Harlequin. I was hooked. He is just so attractive, fit. A navy seal. He's strong. Can fight. His brother is attractive too. In fact our intrepid heroine is playing footsie with both. But she's more taken with the lawyer/ex navy seal. His name is blane. Blame:)) # I hate myself # weak! Weak!
