Good Man Hunting

Lisa Landolt. Avon a, $13.95 (338pp) ISBN 978-0-06-134039-0

Does a handsome Prince Charming ever fall for a geeky assistant manager of pizza joint? In Landolt's wild wish-fulfillment romance, he might-with the help of the matchmaking Hunt Club. While at a friend's wedding, would-be Cinderella Sandra is approached by a Hunt Club member who invites her to join up. At first, Sandra enjoys the game-playing, although she doesn't like how one member lands a D.C. hotshot by sleazy methods. Sandra's target is former sitcom star Mike Warren; the club members get Sandra gussied up in preparation for the match-up, but the potential love connection suffers a setback when the FBI gives Sandra some disturbing news about the Hunt Club. Is happily-ever-after an impossibility? Landolt supplies an answer with a wide-eyed naivety that's charming and funny if far-fetched.
