Book Description

Harlequin Blaze September 1, 2003

Swan McKenna's racy men's underwear company, Brief Encounters, is on the brink of incredible success...when she's accused of stealing five million dollars! How can she launch her newest naughty designs with a federal agent watching her every move? Of course, once she gets a glimpse of Special Agent Rob Gaines, all she can think about is seeing his moves. With his government-issue good looks, he'd bring down the house modeling for her upcoming fashion show. And she desperately needs models.... But little does Swan expect Rob to help her out by reluctantly agreeing to strut his stuff. Nor does she realize that once she sees Rob in his underwear, she won't be able to resist catching him out of it....

5.0 out of 5 stars sexy story, September 20, 2003
By 
This review is from: Brief Encounters: Put Your Guy On the Cover (Harlequin Blaze, 101) (Mass Market Paperback)
This story opens with Swan McKenna interviewing models for her men's underwear line. Since most of the models have come in costume, when a very sexy telephone repairman walks through the door, Swan thinks he's another model with stage freight and helps him to shed his clothes. Only when the pants come down and he's not wearing a pair of her underwear (or any underwear for that matter) does she realize this is really a telephone repairman. The story only gets better from there.

The repairman is actually Rob Gaines an FBI agent who is trying to gather information in a five million dollar embezzlement case. Swan of course is an innocent dupe in the whole embezzlement. The loan officer who gave Swan and her partner a loan to keep their business afloat, hid a cashiers check in an organizer he gave Swan as a gift. Rather than go to jail, Swan agrees to let her three-store fashion tour be used to smoke out the loan officer's accomplice. The only problem is that without the loan (which was also fake), there is no money to pay models for the tour. Swan convinces her assistant Gerard, Rob and Rob's partner Joe to model for her. The resulting fashion show is a riot.

The sexual tension between Swan and Rob sizzles. Comic relief is provided by Rob's partner Joe and Swan's assistant Gerard.

5.0 out of 5 stars mixes heat with humor in a tale filled with plenty of heart, September 18, 2003
This review is from: Brief Encounters: Put Your Guy On the Cover (Harlequin Blaze, 101) (Mass Market Paperback)
Swan McKenna has worked hard at making a success of her company Brief Encounters, whose prime product is sexy men's underwear. Now that she is about to see the fruit of her labor looming on the horizon with her Los Angeles show, she is accused of stealing five million dollars.

Special Agent Rob Gaines is assigned to watch over Swan. She, in turn, sees the hunk as an opportunity by having him model her new line. To convince a prim and proper Fed is hard enough, especially one who is supposed to catch you in the act of committing a crime. However, to fall in love with a white-underwear hero is too much to ask of Swan or is it.

Suzanne Foster mixes heat with humor in a tale filled with plenty of heart (and of course underwear). The story line is fun to follow due to two delightful amusing lead characters regardless of the underwear they wear. The moral of this tale is that mom was right in telling us to wear clean underwear. However, on the other hand (avoid the obvious pun), her reasoning of in case of an accident is inane as it should have been in case of getting lucky.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, September 5, 2005
This review is from: Brief Encounters: Put Your Guy On the Cover (Harlequin Blaze, 101) (Mass Market Paperback)

To know "what" the book is about, read other reviews. To know "how" the book was, read this review.

This twisted little book had an unattractive, hard to believe plot, plus immature characters who would jump at the oppurtunity to look bad. I couldn't get anywhere near finishing this one. Nearly every word and part was irritatingly stupid, and drawn out with a hint of sickness. The beginning was terrible. If I wanted to know about a woman who is constantly having urinary urges, I'd ask my ill aging mother, not read about it in a book that is supposed to be fun, flirty, romantic and sexy! Or maybe I'd just look back at my own past of having an overactive bladder. The story seemed to be penned by a young emotional unimaginative hand that tries too hard to make any scene substantial and worthwhile, but actually comes off with it being poorly written, terribly lacking in everything good and normal. The first chapter was really bad, which wasn't much of a positive lead to the other chapters. It was a really strange book that made me blink and frown nonstop. The heroine was just as strange. I love strange, but bear in mind there is good strange and bad strange. Never before have I come across a book so odd that it was somewhat revolting. Wait, I have, just not like this. I'm sure it had it's good parts, but nobody buys books just for a few prize pages. We want a real story that grabs hold of us. Most reviewers here didn't like the book either, and I completely understand why. Most of us don't have the time or the mind to waste on what was perhaps best unpublished.
