Sally Thorne

Darcy Barrett has undertaken a global survey of men. She's travelled the world, and can categorically say that no one measures up to Tom Valeska, whose only flaw is that he's her twin brother's best friend - oh, and that 99 percent of the time, he hasn't seemed interested in her. That's the problem with finding her dream man at age eight and peaking in her photography career at age twenty - ever since, she's had to learn to settle for good enough.

For generations, every Frankenstein has found their true love and equal, unlocking lifetimes of blissful wedded adventure. Clever, pretty (and odd) Angelika Frankenstein has run out of suitors and fears she may become the exception to this family rule. When assisting in her brother Victors ground-breaking experiment to bring a reassembled man back to life, she realizes that having an agreeable gentleman convalescing in the guest suite might be a chance to let a man get to know the real her. For the first time, Angelika embarks upon a project that is all her own.When her handsome scientific miracle sits up on the lab table, her hopes for an instant romantic connection are thrown into disarray. Her resurrected beau (named Will for the moment) has total amnesia and is solely focused on uncovering his true identity. Trying to ignore their heart-pounding chemistry, Angelika reluctantly joins the investigation into his past, hoping it will bring them closer. But when a second suitor emerges to aid their quest, Angelika wonders if she was too hasty inventing a solution. Perhaps fate is not something that can be influenced in a laboratory? Or is Will (or whatever his name is!) her dream man, tailored for her in every way? And can he survive what was done to him in the name of science, and love?

Encaprichamiento: m. Enamoramiento fuerte y, a menudo, de corta duración, especialmente de alguien que está fuera de tu alcance...Darcy Barrett ha hecho un sondeo global de hombres. Ha viajado por el mundo y puede afirmar catego-ricamente que nadie esta a la altura de Tom Valeska, cuyo unico defecto es que el hermano gemelo de Darcy, Jamie, lo vio primero y lo reclamo para siempre como su mejor amigo. A pesar de los esfuerzos de Darcy, Tom esta fuera de su alcance y es leal a su hermano en un 99%. Ese fue el problema de encontrar al hombre de sus sueños a los ocho años y alcanzar el punto maximo en su carrera fotografica a los veinte: desde entonces, ha tenido que aprender a conformarse con segundos platos.Cuando Darcy y Jamie heredan de su abuela una casa de campo en ruinas, reciben tambien instruc-ciones estrictas para devolverle su antigua gloria y vender luego la propiedad. Darcy planea estar en un asiento de pasillo sobrevolando el oceano cuando comiencen las reformas, pero antes de que pueda salir corriendo, ve una cara familiar en el porche: el extraordinario Tom ha llegado, es el contratista, lleva herramientas electricas y esta soltero por primera vez en casi una decada.De repente, Darcy esta considerando quedarse para asegurarse de que su gemelo no arruine el encanto de la casa con su aficion por el gris y el cromo. No se queda por las camisetas ajustadas de su nuevo socio de negocios, ni por esa cara perfecta que la inspira para coger la camara otra vez. Pronto saltan chispas, y no es el cableado defectuoso. Tal vez el 1% del corazon de Tom ya no sea suficiente para Darcy. Esta vez, ella esta cambiando las tornas: va a hacer que Tom Valeska sea 99% suyo.Una inolvidable comedia romantica sobre una mujer que por fin tiene una oportunidad con su amor de siempre si se atreve.
