BREATHLESS By Nancy Warren Harlequin Blaze

aloof and seemingly underfoot, they just have no clue. The same can
be said about Sophie Morton. She gets lost doing the simplest
things. The story takes place in Canada, starting off with Sophie getting
lost on her way back from work. She stops her car and sees what
seems to be a very large, attractive man holding up a smaller
Oriental woman. Brave Sophie makes an attempt to thwart the crime in
progress only to discover that Detective Blake Barker, the man with
the gun, was tailing a criminal suspect and she'd just botched the
biggest case the Detective had been working on for two years. Turns out she works in a bank that's connected to a money laundering
scheme run by the criminal that Sophie 'helped' escape. It's also
coincidence that Detective Barker can't stay away from the incredibly
sexy Sophie. They even share a love of opera. Especially hot was the scene at the opera house. I won't give
details away but not only was it sexy, it was beautifully crafted.
Nancy Warren has brought two real life characters together and given
us a story with meat. Sensuality: Typical BLAZE line stuff. Oral, normal sex. But don't
let that fool you, the scenes are well written *g* ...

Winner of the WordWeaving Award for Excellence, October 3, 2002
This review is from: Breathless (Harlequin Blaze, No 57) (Mass Market Paperback)
Directionally challenged Sophie Morton wanders into the wrong side of town, and witnesses a man threatening a woman with a gun. Without hesitation, she leaps out of her car, landing the suspicious man on his back on the sidewalk. Too bad she just tackled the good guy, and the bad woman escapes in Sophie's car. Worse, she not only assaulted a police officer, but she also broke his leg! Detective Blake Barker cannot help being bowled over by the bodacious woman. Such a hellcat holds his attention, especially when he realizes she might be remotely connected to his case. Further, Sophie's knack for losing her way and blundering into trouble, whether she is disarming a cop or discovering a blackmail scheme, arouses his interest. And her love for opera promises shared passion both in bed and out. Author Nancy Warren pens a fast romp of erotic sensuality, blackmail and fraud in BREATHLESS. Blake careens between offense and intrigue with Sophie. This hero proves himself as a strong alpha male who wants to protect Sophie from danger, even as he needs her cooperation in his investigation...both professionally and personally. His arrogant, highhanded aggressiveness annoys Sophie while their shared lust drives them both crazy. Sophie is a refreshingly modern woman who enjoys her sensuality with exuberance; indeed, she is the bold, daring lover most women often fantasize of becoming. Further, her boldness extends beyond the bedroom whether she is assaulting a cop or simply stating her mind. Readers will find themselves breathless but satisfied with this marvelously fun novel. BREATHLESS earns the WordWeaving Award for Excellence.

An Amazing Story!, February 27, 2011
Nancy has done an amazing job with the development of her characters in 'Breathless', the story's plot, and the numerous tantalizing yet romantic scenes( especially the opera scene). This was a GREAT read and was worth every penny. It had me enthralled from the very first sentence in Chapter One to the last at the book's conclusion. Sophie's final retort on her being directionally-challenged was so apropos. I just loved it! Kudos Nancy!
