Extended description

For the sake of her career, stunningly beautiful actress Brenda Fitzpatrick is accustomed to hiding her keen intelligence behind the facade of a featherheaded blonde. But not when it comes to Colin Peters, a research assistant on the new romantic movie she's starring in. Fascinated by Colin's vast knowledge, she won't shy away from talking with him about his work. And she isn't blind to the good looks he conceals behind his thick glasses and rumpled clothes. Now Martin Tafft has asked Brenda to loosen up his too-meticulous research assistant. It isn't long before an improbable attraction blossoms into a love more real than any celluloid fantasy.

Review by: Norah Wilson on Dec. 21, 2010 :
Loved it! This is Book 2 in Alice Duncan's "Dream Maker" series, set in the pioneering days of movie making. Our hero, Colin (the Brain), is an expert on American Indians and has been hired to advise the filmmakers. (Except they've already imported a bunch of Navajos to play the role of the Apaches, except even that's wrong -- it shold have been Hunkpapa Indians, given the setting. Poor Colin!) Brenda is the Beauty, and the star of the film. She's a breath of fresh air, while Colin comes off as a fussy intellectual. Brenda knows right away that Colin is the man for her, but Colin can't quite bring himself to believe she's really attracted to him. This leads to some very funny scenes, and also to some very passionate ones! A lovely tale.
