In this update to a previously published story, Magee and Justin find out that “one tiny lie can cause a whole lot of trouble”.  Magee has made some serious screw-ups at her family’s advertising firm that are threatening the business.  She’s so desperate to bring in new business that she tells the CEO of a bike store that she’s a serious mountain biker … when her bike’s barely been out of the garage.  In order to expand his chain of bike stores, Justin needs to secure a lucrative distribution deal with a manufacturer.  He’s frantic when his girlfriend breaks up with him the day before his old-school client is coming to enjoy a weekend of mountain biking.  He needs a stand-in fast and sexy cyclist Magee fits the bill perfectly …

The train wreck that happens when all of the lies and deceptions comes to light can be seen a mile away but the journey is still fun.  Magee’s natural enthusiasm tends to get her into a few scrapes add in trying to pretend to be someone else, and she is a mess.  But her fun-loving, caring side still comes out and it is quite entertaining.  Justin’s father put business above everything else and he does not want to follow in his footsteps.  He’s got a life plan and quirky, pretty Magee doesn’t fit into it, except he’s finding her joy very hard to resist.  The two battle their attraction for a while but before long it proves too strong and things just get even more complicated.

I don’t usually like stories where the relationship is based on lies but the characters in Head Over Heels made it very appealing.  It’s a fast read, funny and amusing – a great choice to throw in your beach bag this summer.
