"A hot romance"
When Lucy Connors comes home from work, she learns what her
best friend has given her for her birthday: a stud
handcuffed to her bed. She informs the stunned but
delighted Lucy that he is her escort for a week of fun,
pampering, and hopefully some passionate sex at Fantasy
Ranch. Ready to reject the gift as being too way out for a
prim lady like her, Lucy shocks herself by going off with
the hunk. Private Investigator Judd Walker hates playing the role of
beef. However, he promised his brother, the Fantasy Ranch
owner, that he would work undercover to learn whom if
anyone from Lucy's travel agency is vandalizing his ranch.
Judd quickly decides Lucy is not the vandal though he
wonders if he drew that conclusion because he is prejudiced
and simply in love with her. Jamie Sobrato's debut novel is an engaging romantic
suspense that is at its strongest when the lead couple
plays sex games especially acting out her fantasy as a hot
kitten playing coy with her as heated lover. The
undercover (sleuth not blanket) work is cleverly designed
to provide a bit of mystery and intrigue, but also
distracts from the delightful contemporary tale. Fans will
gain pleasure from this lighthearted yet often sweltering
frolic. Harriet Klausner
