Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2000

Jake McCoy--an immigration agent with an attitude. He's known for always getting his man. Only this time, he finds more woman than he can handle....

Michelle Lambert--a beautiful Frenchwoman. She's determined to stay in the country--and to convince gorgeous, uptight Jake that they'd be very, very good together....

Jake McCoy prided himself on being a loner. So how had sexy illegal alien Michelle Lambert stolen her way into his heart--and his bed--so quickly? She wouldn't go home without her child and Jake couldn't blame her. Unfortunately, he couldn't keep his hands off her, either. Torn between duty and desire, Jake never guessed he'd soon be a fugitive himself--and a married man!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great love story with a family feeling!, July 22, 2000

Jake McCoy likes his women just like he likes his life, neat and tidy. But when the beautiful and impulsive Frenchwoman Michelle Lambert rushes into his life like a storm, Jake is bowled over the emotions he feels for this unlikely candidate for his heart.

Jake has spent his career as an INS agent for the government, doing his job, never swaying from the norm. On his way to his first vacation in many years, Jake literally trips over Michelle and saves her from a mugging in the process. As he takes her for coffee to calm her nerves, Michelle explains her inattentiveness. She is in America searching for her young daughter, who had been abducted by the child's natural father, and her visa is about to expire without her locating her child. Touched by her predicament, Jake offers to help her find the child before her time in this country is up.

As the two search for Michelle's daughter, Jake and Michelle soon discover Jake's fellow INS agent, Edgar Mollens, is following them. In desperation and in order to convince the older agent that Michelle is legally entitled to stay in the country while they search for her daughter, Jake tells his old partner that he and Michelle have married. But Mollens just doesn't buy their story, so the two put together a rushed ceremony to satisfy the authorities. As they work feverishly to portray a happily married couple, the two find themselves slowly falling in love with one another.

"For Her Eyes Only," by Tori Carrington, is the third installment in "The Magnificent McCoy Men" series that follows the lives of the four McCoy brothers and their adventures in love. The husband/wife writing team of Lori and Tony Karayianni have done a marvelous job with this series, and this latest installment is solid proof of their incredible talent. The romance is tender and the passion is hot and steamy, everything required in a great love story. The two previous novels in this series are entitled "License To Thrill" (Marc McCoy's story) and "The P.I. Who Loved Her" (Mitch's story). Watch for little brother David's romantic adventures in "You Only Love Once" to hit the stores in March, 2001.

This review is from: For Her Eyes Only (Magnificent Mccoy Men) (Harlequin Temptation, 789) (Paperback)

Immigration agent, Jake McCoy likes the status quo. He likes his life neat and tidy. But when he collides with a Frenchwoman, Michelle Lambert, his life becomes anything but the status quo. He's helping her avoid deportation and find her daughter, but more than that, Jake's falling for her. How can he resolve his duty to his job with his duty to follow his heart where it leads . . . right into Michelle's open arms?

Tori Carrington's Magnificent McCoys series has presented readers with five brothers who learn to love. Three down, two to go -- and I can't wait!

This review is from: For Her Eyes Only (Magnificent Mccoy Men) (Harlequin Temptation, 789) (Paperback)

This is a great 3rd book to a great series. If you love the exchanges between siblings in your romance books this is a book for you. The heat between the h/h is also wonderful. Jake so straight laced everything just so meets his match with a wonderfully wild Michelle although the fact that he's a topnotch INS agent and she's an illegal alien puts a little crimp in things. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the rest of the books in this series.
