Currently Reading: Beverly Jenkins’ Sexy/Dangerous…
Tuesday, February 20, 2007Posted in: Beverly Jenkins Sexy Dangerous Good Read
I bought this book after reading Rosario’s review of it, and I have to say, so far, so damn good.
Check out the back cover blurb:
Wearing her shades, a black Stetson, and snakeskin cowboy boots, security agent, Maxine “Max” Blake is the baddest thing walking. Ex-marine, ex-cop and a whole lotta ‘tude, Max doesn’t have time for anything but her job. Her latest assignment: to protect Dr. Adam Gary. Her problem: he doesn’t want her there.
Adams wants to focus on his work, not to be distracted by this tall, sexy woman. A foiled kidnapping attempt may have forced him to take an undercopver agent into his household, but no one said anything about the agent being a woman, or that she’d be beautiful, or that she came with two monster rottweilers.
How is he supposed to concentrate on his top-secret project that could revolutionise the world when all he can think about is her smooth, coffee-colored skin, and those long, lean legs?
But as danger nips at their heels, love may be a distraction neither of them will live to enjoy…
Sounds fantabulous doesn’t it?
What am I loving? A kick-ass heroine with two of the cutest (and meanest) rottweilers EVAH. (and I am so not a pets-in-romance gal.)
What else am I loving? A heroine who is able to protect herself and her charge. A heroine who isn’t afraid to laugh at herself, and a heroine who knows what her vagina is for.
Just my kinda book… *Happy sigh*

I’ve had this one in my Amazon cart several times, but I have so many romantic suspense on my TBR pile and I hadn’t heard anything about this one, that I kept taking it out. Then putting it back in. Then taking it out 😉 I’ll look forward to your review to push me in one direction or the other. No pressure, Karen 🙂

Yay, you’re reading it! Isn’t Max fantastic? And I hear you about the dogs, they’re adorable.

Hey P!!! Long time not see! It does sounds good from here…like a perfect present for a friend who rather have money but will settle for a book! I hope it end up fine, because most of the love-action books I’ve read kind of mess up at the end!!
A Question: You like your heroines quite the opposite from you??

Oh, good. Glad to hear this. I just put this on my list today after reading AAR’s latest ATBF where several staffers loved it. Keep us posted with the final grade.

Funny you should post about this book. I was buying some Brenda Jackson and Amazon recommended it and the blurb looked good, so I bought it.
Have you seen the cover of Brenda Jackson’s latest Westmoreland book? I gotta tell you, I spent… like, ten minutes staring at it.

I read this one because of Rosario’s review and it was great. I’m slowly picking up her backlist and have read one of her historicals it was good too.
