Locke Channing was the hired gun given to Kelly Winfield
to investigate the shady dealings at Forrester Stereo and
video. Kelly has a secret to hide and Locke is far too smart
and observant for her to fence with for long. She hopes
Locke will fall into the employer-employee relationship and
soon be gone. Locke has no intention of failing to clean up
the fraud at Forrester Stereo. Nor does he intend to fail
at seducing Kelly. Locke and Kelly find a common interest in
fencing, as they battle wits and kisses. Locke continues to
baffle Kelly with his rocket fast shift from computer nerd
to woman-hungry male in one blink. Maybe it's his warlock
green-silver eyes. Kelly knows the risk to her secret and
her heart as she and Locke solve the computer problem. All
too soon he finds out Kelly's been doing a little computer
tampering herself. His solution shocks
and tempts Kelly. Can she agree to his terms and still resist
this stranger she hopes will not break her heart. After all
she certainly doesn't believe in love at first sight. Does
she??
J.A.K. writing as Jayne Castle pens another eighties classic
romance book in this one. My favorite lines from the book
are:
He grinned."A woman only looks at a man like that when
she's daring him to take her"
"Of all the egocentric, stupid, masculine, reasoning" she
gasped, stunned. "You really are a pompous example of the
breed, aren't you?
With snappy dialogue and a bit of mystery, a lot of romance
this book is well worth reading or reading again.
