Product Description

His price? Pure pleasure... This is Maddy Turner's lucky day. The civilized society girl just bid on sexy rogue Jake Wallace at a charity bachelor auction and won! But Maddy knows Jake's dirty little secret. And it should keep her from trying out her new boy toy. Too bad she can't stop herself from indulging in raw, quite uncivilized sex all the same....

Jake Wallace is utterly bewitched by Maddy and utterly bewildered. How can this tantalizing woman melt so rapturously under his ministrations one moment, then turn into a haughty queen the next? He's determined to get to the bottom of Maddy's agenda. One slow, delicious inch at a time...

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprised..., July 8, 2009

I got this as a Kindle freebie. I usually don't read Silhouette or Harlequins, but thought I'd give the freebies a chance. This one was surprisingly better than I thought it would be (one of the better ones in the bunch). I don't tend to like "misunderstandings" and there was a fair share of cliches in the mix, but the author's writing overcame a lot of it. I ended up liking it enough to consider purchasing another one of her books to find out what happened with the other bachelor. :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Hot and Steamy, August 16, 2009

By	Jeanie Goetzinger - See all my reviews

Slow Hands by Leslie Kelly isn't the greatest in the genre, but by no means the worst either. The story is as obvious as they come...and the characters are caricatures of romance novels. How many romance novels feature a man that some woman has misconceptions of only to learn differently when the moment is right? Most. It is time to change the channel on them and offer us romance fans something new. So, the plot is predictable, characters are dry, and the writing is uninspiring -- so then what is good about it? The passion. Where some romance novels are more story driven with minimal passion, Slow Hands is carnal in its passion. Isn't that the purpose of the romance genre, anyway? Slow Hands by Leslie Kelly shines in this category, and while it would have been nice to develop a thought-provoking storyline, it just isn't what this book is about. "Hot and steamy" is really all that is needed to review this product.

thought it was a fun read. it was nice that the woman was rich and the man was a regular guy. usually the other way around in these books. these kind of books are for a quick easy read and it accomplished that. even purchased another book by the author though have not read it yet
