Description
What happens when the man in your head becomes the man in your bed? After her experiences with ex-boyfriend Rob the Slob, Ella Holt is ready to abandon hope of ever finding the right man. So when she answers 50 questions on her perfect man in a glossy magazine, she has no idea that her responses will be used by a new state-of-the-art dating agency to find her perfect match. Naturally, Ella scoffs at the very notion of a 'perfect man', but when the man from the Perfect Agency, James Master, arrives on her doorstep, her high standards are finally matched. Not only is he drop-dead gorgeous, but spontaneous trips to Paris, declarations of love, romantic gestures (and gourmet sex) all become part of her daily routine. However, as 'romance fatigue' sets in, Ella's suspicions about the consequences of her answers begin to mount. And when Rob starts to change his slobbish ways to win her back, she remembers that she asked for a man who will do anything to keep her ...and destroy anyone who stands in his way.
