Not convinced by the chemistry, March 20, 2010
This review is from: His Little Black Book (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)
His Little Black Book was my first of the Harlequin Blaze line. I just loved the premise, 3 short stories interconnecting all based out of an advertising agency when a high up sends a private text message to everyone in his phone book! It follows 3 women as they try to get to the company beach house for the "party" he has invited them to, during a hurricane!
All the stories sounded promising and started off great, but by the end of each of them I wasn't convinced by the chemistry between the characters, I think the stories were too short to make much really believable. I wanted more from all of the stories.
The best to me was the last story, Safe Text, because Cammy and Gil had a history, they already knew each other, so that made it most believable that all these feelings, emotions and naughty bits would happen between them. But overall I didn't find any of them hitting the right note for me, everything happened so quickly and ended just like that. I needed more!
All in all, I had fun with this book, great premise but the delivery was a little too quick handed for me. I look forward to trying another full length story from the Blaze line to see how I like it!

Heather at her best!, March 11, 2010
This review is from: His Little Black Book (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)
One wrong flip of a finger on his iPhone, and Jonathan Black sent out an invitation to a party to his entire contact list, instead of just the one lucky lady he wanted to join him at the company beach house. Now three of his lovely lady employees are in a panic to make it to the party that none of them were suppose to attend. With a hurricane on the way, none of them get what they are expecting.
Sophie, who sees the invite as recognition of a job well done, finds potential client Adrian at the beach house. A sexy exercise guru potential client. Who wouldn't want to be trapped in a beach house with a man starving for food and attention? Candlelight only adds to the fire between these two.
Mia, who is Jonathan's current hook up, never makes it to the beach house and finds herself stuck by the side of the road when the hurricane strikes. She gets rescued by hunky local cafe owner Kevin, who puts her to work in the kitchen, after letting her get out of her wet, white clothes. What will become of them after a wet and wild weekend in paradise?
Cammy, who is Jonathan's over worked personal assistant, gets stranded at the office and is rescued by former partner Gil. His way of helping her in the pouring rain is to do whatever to make her forget about work and their boss. But when the text message catching up with them, Cammy makes Gil take her to the beach house, and one heated argument turns into one heated encounter that neither will forget.
Heather's latest makes hurricane's sexy! The encounters in these three stories is her signature quirky style, each one as fun and sexy as the last. Bring a fan and a glass of cold lemonade. You are going to need it.

Funny and hot hot hot!!!, February 28, 2010
This review is from: His Little Black Book (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)
Who's been the sender of a misdirected text? Lots of people, myself included, as well as Jonathan Black in Heather MacAllister's latest Harlequin Blaze adventure, "His Little Black Book".
The three women who acted on Jonathan's text message were very lucky indeed. For although their final destiny was not the egotistical corporate kingpin Jonathan, they each found the man of their dreams because they wanted to be the best in Jonathan's eyes.
Heather MacAllister employs her characteristic humor in this hot romance trilogy to make it the most entertaining romp I've read in ages! And hot hot hot!!! Or did I mention that before?
I completely recommend this read. It's entertaining and as a trilogy, is a read that can be consumed whole or in its smaller pieces. I thought I would only read one story at a sitting, but found myself so infatuated with the concept I couldn't put it down.
Read this book and laugh...and be tempted to rent your own condo on the beach complete with hot bachelor!
