The heroine Ava and the hero Roman meet when they quite literally bump into each other. There is an immediate spark between them and Ava, for once in her very restrained life, gives into the moment with Roman. Ava is feeling a little lost, after spending her life doing what she was supposed to as the Prime Minister's daughter and then as the wife of a politician, now fresh out of her divorce and jobless she doesn't know where to start in rebuilding her life. Roman spots his chance to spend more time with Ava as well as getting more publicity by offering Ava the opportunity to write an article about him and the extreme sports governing body he is CEO of. However, the closer he and Ava become the more Roman realises the she is getting under his skin and getting closer to asking questions he doesn't want to answer. Even though they soon begin to fall for one another, Roman's need for publicity and Ava's aversion to the press starts to tear them apart.

I really enjoyed this book, it's a fabulous edition to the RIVA line. Nicola Marsh has a way of writing that never fails to make me smile, and that is certainly in abundance here. The book has two well matched, well thought out, and interesting characters, as well as being full of sizzling chemistry and witty dialogue. I loved the heroine's background, Nicola has created a heroine that is very relatable, despite her 'high status', and really does go on a journey throughout the course of the book, and that is very satisfying to read. Roman is such a charmer, I was half in love with him from the first of his many grins!
All of this combined with beautifully described surroundings, and a wonderful love story makes this a very entertaining book.

The ending is super cheesy, but I can forgive it since the rest of the book is brilliant!

Recommended.

I have to admit that this is the first book I have read by Nicola and wow am I impressed. To paraphrase Jerry Maguire "You had me at ..." the mention of George Clooney. Loved both characters Ava and Roman to bits and I read this book in one sitting (& really late into the night) - I just couldn't put it down. Locations were fab and just made me itch to go and see it for myself (someday) and the chemistry and emotion throughout just got me (yes there were tears from me!).

Rollicking good read and very highly recommended. Now must find other titles by Nicola to read!

INTERVIEW WITH THE DAREDEVIL by author Nicola Marsh is a Harlequin Presents release for February 2012.

Roman Gianakis is an extreme sports specialist. Ava is recently divorced when she literally bumps into him! The intense sexual attraction is instant.

Yet both of them are not ready for long term commitment. So they opt for a fling. For Roman, being with Ava moved beyond closeness because of her ability to home in on his innermost thoughts bordering on an intimacy he'd shied away from his entire life. Could he let Ava in his life long-term and into his heart?

Everything seemed brighter, sharper and larger than life when Ava is with Roman and for a person living in shadows, this was too much! Could she hope for this for the rest of her life?

INTERVIEW WITH THE DAREDEVIL is simply fabulous. I couldn't resist gobbling up this delicious contemporary romance all night long! Nicola Marsh has created a thoroughly modern and beleivable character in Ava, and Roman is a gorgeous hero who will make women swoon with delight. Refreshing, romantic and highly entertaining, this fabulously uplifting, emotional and captivating story is for keeper shelves!

In this novel Ava and Roman meet by crashing into each other literally, which was quite amusing. There is an instant attraction between them and Ava despite leading a quiet life as the Prime Ministers daughter and now a divorcee of a politician, meets with Roman.

There were a lot of sparks going off in this book, it made you stay quite glued to your seat. This is the type of novel I have a hard time reviewing without giving away LOTS of things you learn in the book. The characters of Ava and Roman were very well written and it felt like they were rubbing off on each other creating something amazing.

Super easy read! Great for a weekend read or day at the beach. I was distracted many times and had to start and stop but had no problem following along. Typical romance novel :)
