Julie can’t
believe it! She has to do Marc Johnson’s taxes. He was her high school
literature teacher and she had a monstrous crush on him. Now she has to
do the
taxes for his bookstore. The instant they meet again, sparks fly
between
them. Yet, he refuses to see her as the adult that she has become.
Based on a
quiz that she took, their attraction factor is perfect, so how can she
convince
him to give them a chance?
Marc can’t
believe that flighty Julie is his accountant! She barely made the
grades in
high school, how is she qualified to handle his taxes? He can’t accept
the fact
that she might be good for his business, and moreover, she might be
good for
him. He is completely sexually attracted to her and the more time he
spends
with her, the more he wants her. So how can he keep her out of his
business and
out of his personal life, when they seem so right together? How can they be together when things never go
right between the two of them? Yet, the more that he tries to convince
her that
they are all wrong for each other, the more right they seem to be.
The
ATTRACTION FACTOR is an amusing read. It poses the question, is there
really an
ATTRACTION FACTOR in every relationship? At the beginning of every
chapter,
there is a question from the quiz. It grabs the reader’s attention,
while
preparing them for what lies ahead. Furthermore, the question arises,
if Julie
and Marc’s ATTRACTION FACTOR is so high, why can’t they get things
straightened
out between them? Everything that could go wrong in their relationship
does,
but in spite of all the mishaps, they seem meant to be together, and
their
attraction to each other, overshadows all of the other elements. It is
a sweet
romantic comedy that touches on some serious issues while adding humor
and
comedy to the love story.
