When the woman in the red dress burst through the door of the cop bar, Nick Ryder's heart stood still. Her sensuality and boldness attracted him, even as she determinedly downs too many drinks in hopes of forgetting the earlier part of the evening. On chemistry overload, Nick spends the night making love to Miranda Chase. She makes him promise to call afterward, but when he does, his calls are refused.

A year later synchronicity brings them together. A shooting has forced Rick to reevaluate his priorities, and he has accepted a medical discharge from the force. He temporarily plays doorman as a favor to a friend, much to the delight of the ladies of the building, including Miranda. Still, Nick and Miranda come from very different worlds with very different priorities and only a burglary promises to bring them together, however temporarily.

Once again author Dawn Atkins proves her deft ability for combining an amusing romantic romp with sensual interludes in LIPSTICK ON HIS COLLAR. These dynamic characterizations address the modern questions of priorities and social status with verve as Miranda and Nick match wits. She likes the finer things of life, reveling in the luxuries she can easily afford. He is an ex-cop with an ex-wife who proved detectives do not provide the lifestyle or profits necessary to support the designer lipstick crowd. With nothing in common, Miranda will have to leave a lot of lipstick marks to prove that love can overcome ambition. Outrageous antics, such as Miranda's tackling of a burglar and the over abundance of sprained ankles, make for a marvelous read, making LIPSTICK ON HIS COLLAR come very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Smart and Sassy Romance!, January 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Lipstick On His Collar (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

LIPSTICK ON HIS COLLAR is a sparkling combination of delicious romance, comedic situations, a dash of mystery, and characters with real problems and honest solutions. Sophisticated Miranda and earthy Nick (who lives aboard a sailboat) are a believable match. The writing is fresh, funny and vivid, the story romantic yet realistic. Give Dawn Atkins a try!
