Jessi Teresa Black is Los Angeles' toughest and sexiest sports agent. JT or Lady T is able to negotiate contracts, quote players' stats, play a mean game of Playstation Madden football and keep her sometime, overprotective, multimillion dollar, clients in line without breaking a sweat. Every available bachelor, and some married men, have tried to win the hand of Lady T but no one has been able to match wits with her until she meets Reese Anthony.

While driving an eighteen-wheeler on California's I-5 to San Francisco, Reese stops to help what appeared to be a damsel in distress. He quickly learned that not only was she beautiful but she was also very knowledgeable of sports and cars. Reese offered JT a ride back to Oakland and the sparks immediately began to ignite. But, there was more to Reese. He was not just your average truck driver. He was actually an ex-Chicago cop turned attorney, who is also the CEO of his family's international trucking company. Reese was also offered a position as head of the NFL's Security division to investigate a murder. Little did he know, he would also have to protect JT as well.

Beverly Jenkins has put together another winning story of two very confident people who must learn to trust and take a chance on each other. The reader immediately becomes involved in the romance of Reese and JT from their first encounter. Ms. Jenkins was able to build their relationship as Reese tried to solve a murder that could cause great damage to the NFL league. The bonus to the story - a sound track from Frankie Beverly and Maze. Throughout the story, Frankie Beverly and Maze was referenced with his golden voice. Ms. Jenkins fans will also love that she has connected both characters to previous characters, Jessi Rose and Griffin Blake, and The House of LeVeq, from her historical novels.

You can not go wrong with reading any book by Beverly Jenkins and music accompanied by Frank Beverly.

I felt awful... A darling student gave me the flu, but I have never been so glad to have a sick day (and the leisure time to read)! I read Deadly Sexy in less than 24 hours... between medications, naps, coughs and sneezes. It was so good I couldn't doze off to sleep properly! I had on my glasses, the book in one hand, and soft tissues for my runny nose in the other. Beverly, you have done it again! Cannot wait to read Jewel (especially since Vivid is my favorite)!

Beverly Jenkins does it again! Well written from start to finish. Passion was HOT! Having read her historical romances, I really appreciated the 'authenticity' of JT's character. She was a modern day version of her strong/confident/smart great grandmothers. Reese was adorable. Persistent and sexy as hell. Liked the fact that the characters were 'grown' in their actions. No pretense, just adults in a relationship enjoying each other.
Can't wait for the stories about the brothers and hopefully, dad too.
Beverly, I love the way you connect the historical and modern day characters.

I just completed "Deadly Sexy" and I'm in awe.

Beverly Jenkins' style of writing is both invigorating and charming. I especially enjoy her historical love stories but "Deadly Sexy" was also a breath of fresh air. What a wonderful story filled with a collage of topics: admiration, love, dedication, triumph and most importantly family.

The love affair between JT and Reese was whimsical. The two hit it off as soon as they laid eyes upon each other. I appreciated the way they respected each other's feelings. Reese wasn't intimated by JT's wealth or success. Reese being a jack of all trades was equally successful. The way Reese and the rest of the Anthony men astonished JT with their hidden talents was amusing.

"Deadly Sexy" is certainly worthy of five golden stars and more. I now wish to read any and everything Beverly has written. I'm off to Barnes & Noble to purchase "Topaz" next.

Another great book by Beverly Jenkins. Now if you have read Topaz we met Grace Blake & Lorlie Reed could you guess what type of granddaughter they would have. NO I couldn't but trust that I was not disappointed. Meet Jessi Teresa Black is Los Angeles' toughest and sexiest sports agent. JT or Lady T as her players call her. play a mean game of Playstation Madden football and keep her sometime, overprotective, multimillion dollar, clients in line without breaking a sweat. Now with this type of lady I guess you can guest what type of MAN she need meet Reese Anthony.

While Reese was driving an eighteen-wheeler on California's I-5 to San Francisco, Reese came across what to appear a damsel in distress. He quickly learned that not only was she beautiful but she was also very knowledgeable of sports and cars. Now Reese was not just your average truck driver. He wear several HATS Also through out the book we get to listen to Frank Beverly & Maze which will make you pull out your album.

I tell Reese and Jess are a HOT couple and you will not be diappointed in them.

Great job Beverly

3.5 stars. This is a good even pace story. I liked the begining very much. The romance was pretty cookie-cutter. I felt the writer pretty much kept everything pertaining to the hero and heroine on the safe side. When you think about it, it was pretty much smooth sailing from the moment they met. A small hiccup over him not telling her who he worked for but that only lasted for about a half a chapter. The football stuff was interesting. Clearly the author has a love for the game. Anyone who watches even one episode of Law & Order knows that at best they had circumstancial evidence against Wenzel. Garrett, of course, was the star of the show and watching his unrevaling is what kept me turning the pages.

Well written book, full of suspense and lots of love. All the characters in this story are Great-especially the Anthony men. I have read most of Beverly Jenkins books and find them all enjoyable.

For about six years people have been telling read about Beverly Jenkins books. So last week I decided to read one. Needless to say this was the first book I picked up and oh my God was it good. I read this book in two days and now I'm buying all of her books so I can catch up reading them all. I hate that it has taken me this long and no one told me she was from Detroit. I am truly a big fan now. By the way I'm on my third book.

This book was GREAT. Full of mystery and love. One of the best books I have read.

I really enjoyed the characters! They were so believable. Their language was hip without being forced; their situations and reactions felt legitimate. It was well done. One reviewer mentioned there was too much sex. I'm on the fence with that one. On one hand I enjoy erotic romances and steamy, explicit sex scenes can be fun. On the other hand, this was not an erotic romance and all the "turgid peaks" and "rigid manhoods" got a little tiresome. Still this book is highly recommended for its great characters and interesting plot.
