Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!

HaBO: Director’s Assistant Plays Cribbage

You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!

This HaBO is from Jenna. It sounds like she’s looking for a contemporary romance, but I’m not 100% sure:

There’s this romance I read that I really want to read again about this famous playboy movie director and his assistant, I think her name was Megan.

They hate each other at first, but director guy can’t function without her – she’s his assistant, etc. She also sometimes helps with continuity in the movie they’re shooting. I think it’s set in Italy or France and the movie they’re making is in trouble financially or something.

What I remember more than the romance is the way this girl is superbly written, she came from poverty and she always works her ass off and is always saving money. They always bicker about how she’s so plain and low-maintenance and how he’s such a manwhore and is so wasteful with money. I remember that he first fell in love with her when he saw her with her hair down, because she always puts it up in a really tight ponytail.

I also remember that the house they’re renting to shoot the movie in belongs to this old guy who Megan is fond of and they always play cribbage. Anyway it’s a really great read and I hope someone out here has read it too.

Well this book sounds all sorts of fun!

    So, not the same book at all, but a similar dynamic and an excellent read, is Wall of Winnepeg, by Zapata.

  2. Jill Q. says:

    I hope someone finds this! Italian setting combined with movies makes me think of “Beautiful Ruins” or “Breathing Room” but the rest doesn’t sound right.

  3. Shiera says:

    This sounds very familiar to me. Was it a Harlequin?

    It sounds a bit like “A Rage to Possess” by Abra Taylor – https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5770509-a-rage-to-possess?from_search=true.

    That’s got a playboy director, an assistant called Megan and quite a lot of cribbage.

    My brain totally misread that as “Playboy movie director”

    Everyone knows you need to take your hair out of its pony tail to get the hot guy to notice/fall for you. That, and taking off your glasses (even if you can’t see without them). I have to be careful not to do these things accidentally lest I have guys falling all over me.

  7. Wendy says:

    Yes, I think you’re right. If you go to books.google.com and find the book, you can search inside by word. See here.

    I knew it was a Harlequin Superromance!

    I’d love to read it!

    @Laura, I thought the same thing! Such a great PA/employer slow burn romance. I’ve recommended that to more people than I can count, her books are fantastic.

  10. Gloriamarie says:

    @Susan, any reason you don’t want guys falling all over you, accidentally or otherwise?

    Gloriamarie
    I imagine that it’s hard to get anything done if there’s guys falling about all over the place.

    Also, tripping hazard.

    Especially if you are not wearing your glasses and your hair is in your face.
