DOUBLE DARE

Author: Saskia Walker ISBN: 0425212971 10/2006 EROTIC CONTEMPORARY Publisher: HEAT

A woman uninhibited. Beautiful investment advisor Abby Douglas has played with a lot of men, and that's just the way she wants it. No commitments. No regrets. And no games—until she meets a dangerously sexy stranger in the elevator of her office building. Suddenly she's taking on a new identity, pretending to be a receptionist, and finally giving herself up to the kind of raw fantasies no upright businesswoman should ever consider—unless of course, she found a man strong enough to make her. A secret unzipped. Club owner Zac Bordino is stunned to find that the hot number who gave him such a sweet reception isn't what she says. In fact, she's actually the brains behind his company's investments—and she's not even aware of it. Now Zac isn't sure what to tell Abby first—his growing feelings for her, or their secret connection. Either way, from sweltering nights in London to sizzling rendezvous in Paris, from plush offices to pulse-pounding nightclubs, Zac may have found an insatiably perfect match—in business and in pleasure...

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

DOUBLE DARE by Saskia Walker is just that... daring, sexy, exciting.... you name it, she has got it packed into this book.

Abby Douglas is the kind of heroine that I love to read about. She is a tough, strong, take-no-prisoners kind of woman and when she wants something, she goes after it. She is funny, daring, and very refreshing. When she meets a man on an elevator that is hot enough to melt the bra right off of her, she is determined to find a way to meet him. When she gives this mystery man her name, but fails to tell him the truth about her occupation, she has no way of knowing how that one little white lie is going to turn her life upside down.

Zac Bordino is on an errand for his mother. He is not especially happy about it, but, once he checks out the beautiful woman who is working the receptionist's desk at his mother's investment company, he decides that it was worth the trouble. And if he lets this beautiful receptionist believe that he is a courier, well, what is the harm in that? Zach is such a smooth character, I found myself utterly in love with him by the end of the book. He exudes sex appeal and good old-fashioned machismo, and any girl in her right mind would be crazy not to love him.

DOUBLE DARE is exactly what you want if you are looking to spice up your reading. The sex scenes are not for the sensitive reader—they are hot and explosive—but the romance is great and the storyline is exciting. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up. You will not be sorry!
