Words of Endearment — Helen Carter

Kate Stennis, professional anthropologist, can't help falling madly in love with popular talk show host, Eric Daniels. Although initially skeptical -- especially when her mother faints at the man's feet! -- she's quickly captivated by Eric's natural charm, offhand generosity, and heart pounding virility.

When a rambunctious chimpanzee threatens Kate's TV show on primates, Eric's advice turns a potential disaster into a stellar performance. They celebrate with delightful excursions on the town, and soon Kate is glowing from Eric's unsurpassed lovemaking. But his lively daughter, along with a man from Kate's past and her unpredictable mother, ensure that, from then on, nothing goes smoothly!
