Joanne Rock (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Blaze | Publication Date: October 1, 2003

When Summer Farnsworth goes hunting for the perfect man to have a little fling with, Jackson Taggart is not who she had in mind. There's not a rebel bone-or a tattoo-under those too starched shirts, or so she thinks. But whoever said opposites attract must know something. Because after a few long, steamy kisses, Summer has discovered a big attraction to the button-down type.

From the Author

Dear Reader,

Have you ever met a guy in an unusual manner? Maybe accepted a date with someone you wouldn't have considered before because his approach was just too standout to ignore? Jackson Taggart really wants to meet Summer Farnsworth in Girl's Guide to Hunting & Kissing and he's not willing to trot out the stale old pick-up lines for an introduction. Would you say yes to a man who tries his tactics?

Welcome back to South Beach for the second book in my new series! Now that Brianne and Aidan have embarked on their happily-ever-after-Sex & The Single Girl, Blaze #104-ambiance coordinator Summer Farnsworth is starting to feel the tug of dissatisfaction with the lack of eligible men in her life. But can she date a guy who needs to play by the rules all the time? Of course, she might find it hard to resist a man as determined to get what he wants as Jackson.

If you enjoy Girl's Guide to Hunting & Kissing, I hope you'll join me for next month's "Single in South Beach" story. One Naughty Night will be a November Temptation, #951, and we'll finally get the scoop on Giselle Cesare's sexy older brother, Renzo.

Happy Reading,
Joanne Rock

This review is from: Girl's Guide To Hunting & Kissing: Single in South Beach (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

In her first series for Harlequin, author Joanne Rock captures the vibrancy of Miami Beach with her own inexhaustible flair for scintillating romance. The first novel of the Single in South Beach series introduces the hedonistic Club Paradise and the creative women who run it. A wildly successful resort for couples, Club Paradise received an overall when its male owners absconded with the profits. Each of the women owners had a connection to those who nearly bankrupted the resort, and have worked together to turn it into a lush, provocative, uninhibited playground for singles. Their goal is a fat bottom line and sweet financial revenge. None of the women expect to find love!

Attorney Jackson Taggart looks for a woman with the perfect mouth, finding it on Summer Farnsworth. Deftly avoiding cliché pickup lines, Jackson captures her imagination with a clever use of a cell phone and divine temptation. Jackson knows Summer's secret fantasy will do anything to get his girl. Indeed, Summer makes Jackson easily forget the controversy that dogs his every step thanks to father. She might not be a politician's perfect pick, but he is willing to risk his carefully starched shirts for her.

Jackson risks his political career for her even as Summer prefers bad boys with tattoos. As Club Paradise's ambiance coordinator, Summer has created a sensual paradise culminating with a room that is straight out of a bordello. Her bustier and pink braids may not match the proper image Jackson usually pursues, but her fiery personality draws him irresistibly. While they are wildly attracted to each other, however, Jackson and Summer are truly proof that opposites attract, and soon they are attracting controversy as well.

The wildly successful introduction to this series, SEX & THE SINGLE GIRL receives a perfect encore with GIRL'S GUIDE TO HUNTING AND KISSING. Jackson's outrageously ingenious method of meeting and pursuing Summer cannot fail to charm readers even as the sensuality between them sparkles. Richly developed characterizations spring to life, complete with a background dripping with decadence and sin. A marvelous read, GIRL'S GUIDE TO HUNTING & KISSING comes very highly recommended. Be sure to watch for the next installment, Harlequin Temptation ONE NAUGHTY NIGHT.
