INTO THE FIRE (HEAT) (Harlequin Temptation) [Paperback]

Leslie Kelly (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Temptation | Publication Date: March 1, 2002

The only thing columnist Lacey Clark dislikes more than fellow columnist Nate Logan is her own boring existence. She wants to be spontaneous, spirited...sexy. So when she meets a gorgeous stranger at a party and falls in lust at first sight, she figures she'll never have a better chance to go for it. How could she guess that her first-class lover would turn out to be her number one enemy?

Nate Logan can't believe it! How could he have had the best sex of his life with the woman who's made his job a living hell? And how can he want her again...and again? Worse, their publisher is suddenly insisting Nate and Lacey collaborate on a joint column. Which leaves Nate wondering if he's going to seduce Lacey into changing her mind--or give up and let the sexy blonde blow his....

From the Author

Dear Reader,

I love Broadway musicals. And I've always been fascinated by the thought of looking across a crowded room on "one enchanged evening" and finding a stranger who turns your workd upside down. That's exactly what happens to my heroine, Lacey Clark, who falls instantly for a devastatingly attractive man during a crowded party. When she finds herself alone with him a few minutes later--and they end up naked on top of a trampoline--she never imagines that she's in the arms of her nemesis, Nate Logan.

Can two enemies-turned-lovers navigate the rocky road to romance in the sometimes outrageous world of magazine publishing? I sure had fun finding out while writing Into The Fire.

Those of you who read my first Temptation novel, Night Whispers, will recognize some characters in this book. I was so happy to find just the right story for Kelsey Logan's older brother, and I got a kick out of writing more of those sexy radio show segments. For my readers who have written to me asking for a sequel...I hope this one lives up to your expectations.

Happy Reading!

Leslie Kelly

This story is great. Full of wit and affection. Great if you can read it straight through. The pace is fast and the two main characters are loveable. This was my first book by this authour,so I shall make sure it is not the last.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baby, move that frying pan out of the way..., March 20, 2002

...I want to jump right INTO THE FIRE with Lacey and Nate! Leslie Kelly is romantic comedy at its best...but she adds a spicy sensuality that takes this book straight to the top! Nate is a yummy hero, like a layered parfait with more to him than meets the eye. Lacey is such a loving, caring woman that her weaknesses are her strengths, putting her in the middle of an almost impossible dilemma--but one she overcomes with honesty. And the secondary characters are awesome. Bad-girl Venus, aging playboy JT and scheming Raul make this book one too good to miss!

5.0 out of 5 stars Into the Fire - Lots of sparks and sizzling heat!, March 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: INTO THE FIRE (HEAT) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

Aptly named, Into the Fire sizzles with more chemistry than a high school science lab. Even before the main characters meet, the author teases us with a glimpse of how a classic tryst between strangers will ignite into a hotbed of conflict when they learn that they've jumped on the trampoline of love (quite literally) with their sworn enemy. Like her previous Harlequin Temptation romances, Leslie Kelly treats her readers to the very things we want most when we pick up a Temptation: witty banter, plenty of conflict and a bonfire of sexual tension. Nate Logan is a romance reader's dream hero -- self-assured enough to be deliciously cocky but sweet enough to eat with a spoon and a side of Rocky Road. Lacey Clark's determination not to get involved with the very man she has publicly ridiculed is adorably tested by some very colorful and memorable secondary characters..and by one very persuasive hero. This is a definite keeper for Tempation fans and if you aren't one yet, you will be after you read Into the Fire. Highly recommend.
