The Barnes & Noble Review
Dare to make a bet with a bad boy? In this steamy collection, three bad boys dreamed up by Lori Foster, Janelle Denison, and Nancy Warren each consider some pretty outrageous propositions, with life-altering consequences. It all makes for fun, fast-paced, sexy reading. Take staid, successful Gil Watson: His life seems pretty predictable, until he discovers he has a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Nicole. And what's more, the mother's wild best friend, Annabel (tattoos, belly-button ring), who has been caring for the toddler, tells Gil he can keep Nicole only if he marries her. Then there's Adrian Wilde, one of the last Wilde brothers to fall to domestic bliss. This big outdoors guy seems afraid of nothing, but he's running away from Chayse, a sexy photographer who wants him to pose for a charity calendar. This time he makes the bet: He'll pose if she agrees to spend a long weekend with him. Finally, there's Adam Stone. He arrives at San Francisco's airport only to be targeted by Gretchen Wiest, a private investigator who thinks she's spying on yet another adulterous spouse. Except that Adam's not married...which means someone has put Gretchen up to something far more dangerous, and unraveling it even entails an Elvis wedding. Ginger Curwen
