Tongue firmly in cheek
Apr. 7th, 2009 10:19 pmI have just downloaded this free Harlequin eBook:
From the blurb: Cutter Smith — code name: Slash — was told to keep the beautiful blonde in his sights. But as his interest in her veered from the professional to the intensely personal, Cutter knew the cost of falling in love would be high indeed. And he would have to pay the price….
Oh, joy unbounded. Though from the looks of the cover, poor old Cutter Slash hasn't so much had a falling out with a knife as a terrible, lifethreatening Photoshop accident.
ETA: On page 13 we read this helpful piece of dialogue and exposition:
“Uncle Nick will explain all, Slash.”
Gillian had assumed Cutter’s code designation was a play on his first name. He hadn’t disabused her.
So, um, is this not going where I expect it to be going? What else could Slash stand for? Answers on a postcard, please.
