STRANGE BEDPERSONS
This was an engaging contemporary romance about a couple that appears to be polar opposites. Tess was raised in a commune and is a liberal, helping sort who can't pass up a person in trouble. Nick is an uptight Republican lawyer whose main goal is making partner in his law firm.
However, Nick needs a fake fiancée in order to get a new client, encourage the head of the firm to retire, and become a partner. The firm is courting conservative author Norbert Welch and Tess has read and despised his work. Welch does a reading and Tess recognizes a story that was told to her often when she was eight and in the commune. Is Welce a plagiarist? That would really make it hard for Nick to represent him.
The story also has a secondary romance going between Nick's partner in the law firm and Tess's best friend.
Both romances concerned how much a person should change for the one they love. It was also a humorous romance. I liked Tess's observations but disliked her seeming inability to see anyone else's point of view as valid. This romance from 1994 is showing its age a bit but was still enjoyable.
