When The Doctor compliments her on her voice, she says it is caused by her Borg vocal subprocessor. They move on to something more challenging: When The Doctor demonstrates, they begin to sing together as a duet. As The Doctor begins to get carried away, he pauses and stares at Seven as if something important has just dawned on him. He resumes before she becomes suspicious. Ensign Harry Kim enters Astrometrics looking for the latest scans. He notices that Seven is reviewing the crew roster.

She is searching for a compatible first date, and Harry is put out to find he is not one of the candidates. Kim helps her make her final decision: Chapman is the lucky man. Chapman is inside a Jefferies tube , he hears someone enter and asks for an isolinear spanner from Robertson. Seven of Nine informs him that she doesn't have one. Her voice startles him and he drops the tool he is working with. She requests his presence on the holodeck. When it dawns on him that she is asking him out, he accepts her offer. Back in Cargo Bay 2, Seven seems to be going about her duties as usual.

The Doctor arrives and informs her that she only has ten minutes before the date. She claims she is ready, dressed in her regular dermaplastic garment. The Doctor first lets down her hair , then he shows her that he has programmed other more casual outfits for her into the computer, she selects one and begins to get changed. A beautifully dressed Seven of Nine enters and walks toward him. She glances at the piano player, The Doctor, as she passes. They move together to a table, Chapman calls it the "best in the house.

However, the date seems to be making steady progress. She is confused by the lobster meals they are served. From across the room, The Doctor motions to her how to break the shell. She does so with too much force, spraying Chapman with lobster innards.

When Chapman asks if she would like to dance with him, she says that dancing is covered in lesson 35 and she has not learned how yet. He persuades her by saying he's not much of a dancer either.

At first she is very tense and claims that her chronographic sequencer keeps her synchronous with the music. He asks her to relax, and they begin to dance better. Until Seven observes a holographic couple's woman twirl. She attempts this maneuver, but in the process tears one of Chapman's shoulder ligaments.

The Doctor rushes over and sends him to Sick Bay where Paris will treat him. At this point, Seven wishes to end her lessons in social contact, but The Doctor persuades her to let him teach her to dance. First they mention that the two of them have a good rapport and communicate well together. The Doctor orders the computer to play the instrumental from " Someone to Watch over Me ". After teaching the basics, they begin to dance pretty well together, The Doctor is obviously enjoying himself greatly.

Later, on the holodeck, Neelix enters frantically searching for Tomin. He finds him obviously intoxicated surrounded by two women. Alandra , a Bolian , and Tria. Apparently the reception begins soon, and Neelix had lost track of the ambassador. He gives him some coffee to combat his intoxication.

Though there is only synthehol onboard, the Kadi are affected by it as if it were alcohol. The Doctor enters astrometrics, where Seven is working. Meanwhile, in a fancy club, the socialite Claire Gregory Mimi Rogers witnesses the murder of the owner of the place by the powerful mobster Joey Venza Andreas Katsulas.

Today I have just watched "Someone to Watch Over Me" maybe for the sixth or seventh time, and every time I see this movie, I conclude that it is an underrated stylish masterpiece. Everything works perfectly in this film. The story may be not original, the conclusion is quite moralist, but there is an important and unusual approach regarding the difference of classes and consequently of worlds, which is the basis for the conflictive romance between Claire and Mike.

The direction of Ridley Scott is tight and perfect, as usual, using different angles camera and magnificent photography and shadows in the night, to express the differences between the two worlds. There is one specific scene that I love, when Mike is sat with his face half illuminated in the hall of Claire's apartment, totally confused and with his feelings divided. The cast is very inspired, and in my opinion, this is the best role of Mimi Rogers, amazingly perfect as an elegant, wealthy and needy of love woman and wearing a beautiful hair style. Tom Berenger is outstanding as Mike, and Lorraine Bracco is also fantastic in the role of a simple woman and wounded wife.

The music score is awesome, highlighting the three versions of the song of George and Ira Gershwin, which gives the title of the film, specially the last one with the interpretation of Roberta Flack.

My impression was that she was trying too hard to write a sophisticated crime thriller whilst still keeping her trademark romance in it and in the end the book fell flat because it wasn't her trademark romance and I just wasn't that interested in the complex murder investigation. We never really get to know the characters and from what I did learn about them, Leigh seemed like a shallow, nothing-special girl and although I liked Michael I couldn't help thinking there must be something wrong with him if he fell that hard in love with Leigh. The romance was poorly developed and the characters hardly knew each other.

I liked Sam but I didn't find her relationship with Mack interesting at all and the same thing goes - we never really get to know them. All in all, this was a 3-star read for me. View all 9 comments. Mar 28, Beverlin rated it it was amazing. I was somewhat biased towards this book due to the endless negative remarks and reviews I read. I ignored it for a long time until I finally decided to leave aside the comments and have my own opinion of book as a priority. Judith Mcnaught once again encapsulated my heart with her unending humor and profound love. My only advice to whoever reads this review is to be flexible, casting aside other's comments, and producing your own true opinion of this book.

Me ha chirriado mucho, mucho I love Judith McNaught but I didn't recognised her style here.

The beginning was a bit boring and I struggled to get into the story. Moreover the relationship betwen Michael and Leigh took too long to start almost pages if I remember correctly. Both characters were likeable but they won't be engraved in my memory as Judith McNaught's other couples. View all 10 comments. May 18, Ashley rated it it was amazing Shelves: It apparently allows the entire criminal justice system a license to spy, to malign, to misrepresent, and to persecute-not only him, but you as well.

Someone to Watch Over Me (song)

It allows them to violate every civil right the Constitution promises and that they have sworn to uphold. As a novel, as piece of romance, as a stab at social and criminal justice, Judith McNaught's Someone to Watch Over Me has all my heart and soul. It's difficult to re "Of course, there is one small drawback to being loved by him: It's difficult to review this book without giving away some of the most exciting and incredible surprises, but I will do my best!

Leigh Kendall, successful Broadway actress and dedicated wife, has just been in a severe car accident, one so potentially fatal it's a miracle she survived. And to add to our heroine's emotional trauma, she wakes in the hospital to find her husband missing. In the desperate search for Leigh's husband several twists and turns occur in a masterfully detailed and gripping police investigation; meanwhile, Judith McNaught slowly crafts the figure of her all-time greatest hero I cannot tell you who I love, but suffice it to say that when you discover the identity of this novel's hero you will fall deeper and deeper in love with a man who is the PRIME example of what a man ought to be.

This book, and the story of its hero and heroine, goes so far beyond mere romance that it simply blows its competitors out of the water. Everything about this book is brilliant, but THIS MAN and his love for this woman was the incredibly rich, sweet, tear-inducing icing that made this my all-time favorite book.

See a Problem?

Just when you thought this book couldn't get more successful, McNaught introduces a wonderful side romance! The romance between Lieutenant Mitchell McCord and Detective Samantha Littleton is given just enough attention to draw readers in, without annoying us with a seeming lack of focus. The characterization of them both was so well-done that I not only tolerate the side romance, I highly enjoy it!

I cannot recall another book achieving that.

Someone to Watch Over Me is about true love, fate, sacrifice, forbearance, and loyalty. I dare you to give me another book that is so concurrently complex and simple. I dare you to find another man that can compare to this brilliantly crafted, heart-stabbingly great hero.

I defy you to name an author better than McNaught. I have been a JM worshipper for years, and everything she touches turns to gold. This book, with all its drama and intimacy, is pure platinum. Believe me, I should know-I've read it three times. View all 4 comments. Nov 19, Zumbagirl rated it really liked it Shelves: After many years of not reading books regularly, I started reading again and it was sparked by McNaught.

I didn't even know she had two new books that had been published - Every Breath You Take and this one. So I anxiously grabbed a copy and read it. I really enjoyed this book!!! This is a murder-mystery and two love stories - many people complain about that in novels, but I actually liked it in this book.

Her husband has gone mi After many years of not reading books regularly, I started reading again and it was sparked by McNaught. Her husband has gone missing. She has a secret admirer, who also is famous and very rich, Michael Valente. I love Michael Valente as a hero!!! He's awesome and not the typical alpha male McNaught writes about. He has been in love with Leigh for many years and somehow they catch up, but Leigh doesn't remember him, at first. He wants to help find her husband and lends his assistance at every turn. Unfortunately, he also has a criminal record and the police are involved in finding Leigh's husband and hate Michael.

Of course, they start to think Leigh and Michael have secretly been having an affair and both Michael and Leigh become suspects. So the second love story is between two detectives and it's also very good. I never felt it took away from development of the love story of the first two. While this may not constitute a clean read in the sense of being rated G, I would say it is a clean read - only one love scene, very mild, and I'd rate it PG.

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it, especially to any who have a McNaught history. She has really changed her writing style over the years. There were no big misunderstandings or separations, it's not a bodice ripper, no idiot hero or TSTL heroine. It could have been developed a little better, because the relationship between Leigh and Michael take off very quickly considering the circumstances of her husband.

Both male heroes were great!!! Jan 07, Yuni rated it it was amazing Shelves: When I read this book somehow I can see it play in front of me. How much I hate hate Logan. How tight I want to give Leigh a hug. How much I want to kiss Falco on his cheeks. How hard I want to kick the police team for being such an ass. Maybe in between all the Second Opportunities series, I like Paradise the most because it is the first book I read in the series but each of it Please give us a new book.

I heard she will release a new book this year. Good then b When I read this book somehow I can see it play in front of me.

"Someone to Watch Over Me"

Good then because I already read all of her books now and I'm not a patient person. Dec 13, Alison rated it it was amazing Shelves: Got two stories in one Nov 15, Kathy Davie rated it it was amazing Shelves: Fourth in the Second Opportunity romantic-suspense series. The couple focus in this story is Michael Valente and Leigh Kendall. I love her work. She may be formulaic, but she does write a good story that kept me entranced and racing through the pages.

A woman's life is turned upside down and threatened and from the background comes her white knight to save the day. McNaught always has her underdog and in this case, the love of this good woman has sustained Fourth in the Second Opportunity romantic-suspense series. McNaught always has her underdog and in this case, the love of this good woman has sustained Valente on his straight and narrow path for fourteen years.

What a kick in the teeth for Trumanti! The negative side is too true of human nature. A decent woman surrounded by people whom she thought were good friends. I did like McCord's stand at the end. It's these strong, sensitive alpha males that get me every time.

McNaught sets a good pace and it's a good thing the kittens left me alone to read! The Story It's a successful opening for her new play and Leigh Kendall is happy to be heading up to their new place in the mountains but frustrated and very nervous following Logan's directions in this rapidly developing storm. Stopped in the road to re-check her directions, someone hits her car, and she goes tumbling down the mountainside. Just as her life also takes a tumble when she wakes in the hospital, her husband still hasn't shown and Leigh is terrified that he's in trouble.

Upon the police discovering that Michael Valente is one of the Mannings' acquaintances, she is in trouble as well. For Valente is a known criminal with violent tendencies and obviously, Leigh and Valente have plotted his murder. It's only a matter of time before the police find his body in spite of all the misleading Leigh is attempting. It's a series of misconstrued realities and prejudices with strong demands by the police commissioner that send the police off on their tangent giving us the opportunity to see true nobility in action.

The Characters Leigh Kendall is the focus of the story. She's at the top of her game as a Broadway actress. Surrounded by friends and a loving husband. About to have her wonderful life shatter into pieces at her feet. The gorgeous Logan Manning is Leigh's husband. A scion of an old respected and once-wealthy family, Logan has brought the family fortunes back with a vengeance. Michael Valente is Falco Nipote, an old acquaintance from her pre-stardom days, who worked for his aunt, Mrs. Angelini , at the little Italian market in Leigh's neighborhood.

Jason Solomon is the author of Leigh's current play; Eric Ingram is his lover. Jane Sebring is the cruelly ambitious actress dying to take over the role from Leigh. Sheila Winters is the psychiatrist who first counseled Leigh and Logan when they were having problems; she later became friends with both of them. Hilda is Leigh's trusted housekeeper with a brutal attitude toward dust while Joe O'Hara is on loan as a chauffeur-bodyguard from Matt and Meredith Farrell Paradise while they take their round-the-world cruise.

Brenna is her personal assistant. Trish Lefkowitz is her publicist. Commissioner William Trumanti has a real hard-on for Valente and McCord is directed at doing all he can to pin something on him. The Cover The cover is in deep shades of blue forming the corner of a building with someone's shadow cast against the cobalt blue of its pinkly lit side. The title is up in lights just as Leigh Kendall's name is usually up in lights on Broadway when she's starring in a play.

Little does she know there is always Someone to Watch Over Me. Apr 01, Christine rated it it was ok Shelves: I was excited to learn of a Judith McNaught book out there that I had missed reading when I ran through all of her stuff a few years ago. I consider her the master of romance, many of her stories have touched me deeply and stayed with me for years. Many romance novels, even good ones, tend to be forgettable in the grand scheme of things. The trouble with this book is that it isn't a romance. Oh, there are some couples getting together, but it's basically a mystery novel.

And I don't want to jud I was excited to learn of a Judith McNaught book out there that I had missed reading when I ran through all of her stuff a few years ago.
