MY SEXY GREEK SUMMER by Marie Donovan


MY SEXY GREEK SUMMER

#470


Grad student Cara Sokol is about to spend the summer on a Greek island. Her "nonexistent sex life" needs a "jump-start" but she has sworn off of Greek men forever. At least until she meets Yannis Petrides.

Lady Mischief loves Greek tycoons, stories that involve Greece, etc. It has always been one of Lady Mischief's major ambitions to find one of Harlequin's Greek Tycoons for herself. She doesn't want a real Greek tycoon because she is afraid he might look like Jackie Kennedy's second husband. That changes the fantasy drastically.

This book also changes the fantasy drastically. This is the first Greek based romance Lady Mischief did not finish reading. It was just too painful. She could not find a single person she liked in it.

Regretfully this book is rated:

Overnight Sensation by Karen Foley


OVERNIGHT SENSATION

by Karen Foley
(Tropical Heat!)
Harlequin Blaze # 422
September 2008

As a B-list movie actress Ivy James had fallen in love with three of her past leading men and had carried on front page tabloid romances with them. Now she has just been offered her big break. The role of a life time, with an award winning director, and the sexiest man in the world as a leading man. She is determined to concentrate on making the most of this glorious career opportunity. Then she meets her costar and finds she doesn't like him and cannot do the sex scenes with him. So she turns to Garrett Stokes.

Garrett Stokes is the war hero the movie is based on. He has been secretly in love with Ivy, even though she didn't know he existed, for years. He is responsible for her big break. He is also on location as a consultant.

Garrett has no problem consulting with Ivy. They rehearse the scenes thoroughly.

This is a wonderful story. The author pays attention to the small stuff that glues the story together. The things that make a story memorable. It goes down as easily as a creamsicle on a hot summer day.

This story rates:

SLOW HANDS

Slow Hands
By Leslie Kelly
Harlequin Blaze #402
June 2008
Also available in e-book
Contemporary Romance

Shy banker, Madeline Turner, is drafted by her half-sister to buy the "services" of a gigolo at a charity auction. If Maddy didn't purchase this guy her new stepmother would and use his services. It would break their father's heart if he were to find out.

Paramedic Jake Wallace had been "convinced" to help out by his boss. The only way he could get through the humiliation of being auctioned off like a piece of meat with a bunch of the wild women hooting and whistling in the audience was by reminding himself of all the needy kids that would have a good Christmas because of this night.

Jake peaked through the curtain and took one look at Maddy. His body had an instant reaction to her and he hoped she would be the woman to buy him.

Maddy bought and paid for him and then disappeared. Without even leaving a contact number for their date.

Jake tracked her down and insisted she had to go on their date.

They really, really liked each other.

They really, really had hot sex. Not just hot sex, but HOT sex!!! When you are reading this one you might want to have a supply of on hand to help you cool down.

Maddy didn't want a relationship, she couldn't handle a relationship.

The prologue leads to a bit of confusion. The women putting together the program for the charity auction are never seen or heard of again. But the repercussions of their incompetence are felt throughout the rest of the book. However, from the very first sentence in Chapter 1 you are hooked by fabulous dialogue, good story building, the comedy of the mistaken identity, and HOT love scenes.

You have to read the book yourself to see how it all ends.

Although this book was on the store's book shelves for only one month a year ago, it can still be obtained through special order from any book store, ordered on-line from the usual suspects (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Harlequin), or in e-book form from eharlequin.

Slow Hands rates a solid .
