5.0 out of 5 stars BOSS KIDNAPS SECRETARY!, May 14, 2000

By

This review is from: Case Of The Mesmerizing Boss (Silhouette Desire, No 702) (Paperback)

Former TX Ranger and current detective (Dane) kidnaps his stubborn secretary/detective wannabe (Tess) and holds her at his ranch. Of course he does this only for her protection as her amateur detective work led a killer her doorstept!

Dane would never expose his true feelings to Tess...he'd almost tarnished her innocence long ago and she deserved more than just a shell of a man he considered himself to be.

Of course Tess is angry with Dane for his high handedness and avoids him -- which inevitably brings him to his senses! Can the hardened detective convince the beauty of his dreams to find safety in his arms...

A Keeper!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything a romance novel should be, January 13, 1998

This review is from: Case Of The Mesmerizing Boss (And the Winner Is) (Winner's Circle) (Paperback)

I couldn't stop reading this one, even though it was past 11 pm, and I had to work the next day! The hero was a rugged Texan, wounded in the past. The heroine is sweet and compassionate. The story is just wonderful. This book has everything that romance fans read romance for. I highly recommend this book to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a hot romance with lots of sexual tension, August 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Case Of The Mesmerizing Boss (And the Winner Is) (Winner's Circle) (Paperback)

I loved this story. Dane is a macho former Texas Ranger who desperately needs to be saved from his own good intentions & Tess is just the girl for the job. When they finally give into their desire it's the most steamy, sensual experience of their lives. I couldn't put this one down.
