Just A Hint Clint (Zebra Contemporary Romance) [Paperback]

Lori Foster (Author)

Book Description

Series: Zebra Contemporary Romance | Publication Date: May 25, 2010

That's what crosses Clint Evans' mind the minute he takes on the four thugs holding heiress Julie Rose hostage. It isn't the danger that has Clint in a lather, but Julie herself. The pretty, petite schoolteacher he's been hired to return to her wealthy fiance is no fainting trust-fund baby. She's more of a hellcat, one who won't be deterred when she sets her sights on something. And her sights are set on Clint. The one rule Clint never breaks is this - don't get involved with the client. He can look, but he definitely cannot touch - even if it's driving him crazy. Keeping Julie safe until he can figure out who's behind her kidnapping means never letting her out of his sight. And the closer he sticks to the feisty, seductive woman who makes him feel alive...the harder it gets for him to ever consider letting her go...

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Clint Evans is a kind of repo man. The dangerous kind. For a fee Clint will retrieve things that have been stolen or people who have been kidnapped, even if he has to stretch the law to the breaking point. Julie Rose has been kidnapped, taken to a secluded hunting cabin, manhandled, abused, and threatened with rape. Much to her amazement, an unarmed man appears and casually takes out the four villains as easily as if they were insects. Clint is immediately taken with Julie Rose, and the feeling is mutual. However, Clint must find out the identity of the mastermind behind her abduction, even if it means risking his own life. Suspenseful, sexy, and humorous, Foster's tale of a flawed man and an imperfect woman who together make a perfect couple is the fourth title in her popular Visitation series (Say No to Joe, 2003; The Secret Life of Bryan, 2004; and When Bruce Met Cyn, 2004), and readers will be pleased with the continuity.

5.0 out of 5 stars What Did You Expect?? Of Course Five Stars It's Lori!, October 3, 2004

This review is from: Just a Hint--Clint (Visitation, Book 4) (Mass Market Paperback)

I can actually say that I buy Lori Foster books just because her name is on the cover. I don't care about the story or the series I know it's going to be good. Well, it goes without say that Ms. Foster's latest is GREAT, IT ROCKS, IT'S FUN!!!

Clint is tall, big, dangerous, and violence makes him sick to his stomach. Literally! So why is Julie Rose attracted to him after he saves her and then goes and throws up in the bushes? Because he makes her feel safe and she trusts him of course.

Julie Rose has been kidnapped and her ex-fiance hires Clint to bring her back. She is holding her own but is ever so glad to see Clint, Red, and Mojo coming to save the day. After the rescue Clint must now unravel who is behind the kidnapping and keep Julie safe from the person that she has trusted is going to be hard. Is it the ex-fiance or someone else close to Julie that put her in danger?

What should have been an easy rescue turns out to cost Clint more then he ever thought it would. He's tough and he is doing the "rescue thing" only as long as it takes to build up his savings account and they he's outta there. When he sets eyes on Julie Rose for the first time he knows that this is not going to be an easy case. Granted she's no raving beauty, but he can't seem to keep his hands, and mind off of her. Now he needs to keep her safe and his well ordered way of thinking is suffering. Will he be able to keep her safe, or will someone finally take away from him the one things he never thought he needed?

This was a great book. The chemistry between Clint and Julie Rose is wonderful. When two such very different people mix you can expect explosive heat! Julie Rose is a fun character, who is both sassy, and smart. She's also a soft heart and it's exactly what Clint needs. Clint is also a perfect match for her. All of our old favorites come back. Shay, Joe, Jamie, and Scott. We also get to meet some new friends. If you have been following this story since the beginning with "Say No To Joe?" then you won't want to miss this addition. But, if you're new to this series this is a strong stand alone read! For a wonderful fun and romantic way to spend your time you can't beat Ms. Foster. She is an author that I HIGHLY recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful Romance, January 24, 2005

This review is from: Just a Hint--Clint (Visitation, Book 4) (Mass Market Paperback)

Julie Rose is one of the characters from Visitation. Where we find all of our other favorite characters. Especially the mysterious Jamie.

As the book begins Julie has been kidnapped. Her ex-fiance hires Clint Evans to rescue her. He tells Clint a few untruths about Julie because he is in trouble. The main one being that she is his fiance. Clint and his buddies save Julie just as it looks like she will be attacked by her kidnappers.

Julie takes one look at Clint and decides he is her knight in shining armor. Clint is afraid she simply is grateful to him for saving her. However, she is not safe, they still have no idea who had her kidnapped.

Lori Foster is a wonder at funny entertaining romances with a touch of drama. Where does she find all these great guys? You will enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another trademark Foster keeper!, September 21, 2004

Stacy ~ "book lover" (Chicago 'burbs) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Just a Hint--Clint (Visitation, Book 4) (Mass Market Paperback)

There's more than just a hint of Clint in this continuing series, and fans will not be disappointed by what they "see".

When reserved heiress Julie Rose is kidnapped, fiance Robert hires Clint Evans to find her and bring her back home. Though Clint doesn't trust Robert, he knows he can't let a woman be harmed, so he sets out with trusted back-up to find Julie Rose and bring her back safely.

When Clint rescues Julie Rose, he's amazed at her bravery in such a dangerous situation, yet feels her fascination with him is one of hero worship. Julie Rose has never felt what she's feeling for Clint, and tries to convince him that not only is she not engaged, she's also very much interested in him as a man, not as a hero.

When Clint is unable to figure out who kidnapped Julie Rose, he decides to keep her with him while he investigates. Easier said than done. Their attraction is overwhelming and Clint begins to truly care for this independent woman who cares nothing for her inheritance and would rather be a teacher, living on her own terms. With Clint, Julie Rose feels she can truly be the woman she's always wanted to be, and sees a man she can love.

As danger surrounds them, familiar friends from Visitation come to help protect Julie Rose and Clint from an unexpected villain. Fans will delight in the latest addition to the Visitation series. Clint is strong, sexy, and old-fashioned about protecting his woman. Julie Rose is a woman who's beauty on the inside shows on the outside when she is able to follow her heart and the path she's chosen for herself. And Visitation is a place everyone wishes to go and find lasting love, true friends, and generous spirits, not to mention: Jamie Creed.
