Our main characters are Saffron, an Indian woman brought home by British parents from an orphanage in India when she was just a few years old, who on a flight back from trying, and failing, to find the meaning of life in India, meets Cory on the flight. They immediately hate each other, but he still gives her his phone number and shortly after she decides to call him up, even though she's sworn to date only ugly men, and Cory's the titular tall, dark and handsome guy. The turning point for her is that she dug through his carry-on bag while he was away from his seat and there was a photo of him hugging a group of orphans in India, something that means a lot to her.
Cory is actually England's richest and most successful pornography baron, the driveway of whose mansion contains a Ferrari, Porsche and an Aston Martin, but is sick and tired of girlfriends who only want him for his money. So when Saffron calls him up, he buys a cheap, worn out van, and pretends he's a plumber struggling to make ends meet, and can't afford to buy her flowers or a decent restaurant.
As their relationship develops, and both of them feel the other is "the one" and they fall deeply in love, the lies just keep piling on. Saffron has an idea something isn't quite right, especially when Cory tells her on Sunday that he has no jobs lined up for two weeks, but then says he can't spend the night, because he has work the next day. Saffron's brother, with whom she shares a house is even more suspicious and as a journalist for a cheap tabloid uses his resources to dig for all of Cory's dirt…
Cory knows he has to come clean at some point, and figures he'll do it after three of the blue toilet flush cleansers have worn out, then it'll be time.
The plot point with Lace, Cory's most recent ex-girlfriend, who is desperate to get back into Cory's bank account sort of starts but fizzles out without any serious tension. And a lot was built up about the secret, locked room in Cory's mansion that could've been even more dramatic.
But overall, a fun, enjoyable book.… (mehr)
