Book Description

Series: Harlequin Blaze | Publication Date: March 1, 2007

Spending her days practically naked with gorgeous men should be easy. But for body double Tabitha Everheart it's a poor imitation of the real thing. Thanks to her short-lived disastrous marriage, she's an independent woman.

Then a bullet shatters her apartment window and she's forced to admit she needs protection. Especially if it comes in the form of sexy cop Warren Vitalis, who takes his body-guarding duties very seriously.

Nights of mind-blowing sex with Warren stir urges Tabitha thought had been forever tamped down. This passionate man is arousing not only her libido, but her emotions as well. What they have together is hot—and very temporary. At least that's what she tells herself—

4.0 out of 5 stars Just One Look, May 10, 2007

This review is from: Just One Look (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

Someone has shot a bullet through body double, Tabitha Everheart's, window and off duty NYPD detective Warren Vitalis races to her aid. Tabitha just went through a messy divorce but she doesn't think anyone would be out to hurt her. Warren decides to approach Tabitha personally. The sparks have been flying between them since the night they met.

The danger heats up when it becomes clear that someone is out to get Tabitha. In order to protect her, Warren has Tabitha with him twenty four/seven. With the stalker still hot on her trail though, will that be enough?

I really liked Warren and Tabitha together. Tabitha is very sweet. She has a good girl quality that is at odds with her chosen profession though. Warren is very handsome and the protector instinct in him comes out strong with Tabitha. Just One Look is a good story. As a side note, Just One Look definitely stands alone but has a connecting character in Don't Look Back.

5.0 out of 5 stars strong Night Eyes police procedural romantic suspense, March 8, 2007

This review is from: Just One Look (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

NYPD Detective Warren Vitalis investigates the shooting at Tabitha Everhart in her apartment as he heard the telltale noise while walking his dog Buster in the West Village. However, the cop who prides himself with his objectivity is attracted to Tabitha from the first moment he sees her before interviewing her. Upon his questioning, Tabitha is stunned that she wants this cop as she vowed off men after dumping her cheating former spouse.

As he works the case double time because he wants to see her and keep her safe, Warren and Tabitha fall in love. However, neither trusts this dangerous emotion having been burned in the past. Still they cannot ignore their feelings, but first a sly killer who already murdered an actor must be stopped before he harms the actress.

The heated romance between the detective and the actress will cause Al Gore restless nights as it melts the polar icecap while the investigation and bodyguard subplot takes a somewhat back seat though well written. Warren and Tabitha desire one another, but neither has lost perspective as her safety comes first. Joanne Rock provides a strong Night Eyes police procedural romantic suspense
