On The Loose (Harlequin Blaze) [Mass Market Paperback]

Shannon Hollis (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Blaze | Publication Date: February 1, 2005

When three women go to a "lock and key" party to meet sexy singles, they never expect to find their perfect matches ... in love and in bed!

Going to a "lock and key" party isn't Lauren Massey's idea of a good time. Fine, she can write an article about speed dating in the twenty-first century, but once she has her research, she's heading home--alone. Of course, her plans didn't include a hot encounter with sexy Josh McCrea. For the first time Lauren is ready to drop her defenses and let loose!

When Josh discovers that his key fits Lauren's lock, he's not sure if it's a good sign. He doesn't believe you can meet "the one" at a party, after all. But Lauren is unlike anyone he's ever met--she's sexy, smart and knows what she wants. And clearly what she wants is Josh ... in bed!

This review is from: On The Loose (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

In San Francisco, Lauren Massey and her two best friends attend a lock and key charity event. Lauren plans to write an article on speed dating for her column "Lorelei on the Loose" in the Inside Out Paper. Her "date turns out to be Left Coast author Josh McCrea. Afterward, he writes an article Almost Sex.

Though she had planned to write such an article and Josh did not use her name, she is angry with him focusing their evening for others to read about it. Still they are attracted to one another from the moment he had the key to her lock although Josh is shook that he may have met the "One" he has waited for. Now he must persuade Lauren they belong together. He knows how much she desires to write for his more prestigious publication, but worries how she will react when she learns he hid from her that he owns one third.

ON THE LOOSE, the second Lock and Key tale (see HARD TO HANDLE by Jamie Denton), is a lighthearted romp starring two likable writers falling in love. The story line is as amusing as it is blazing because Josh and Lauren passionately desire one another yet wonder could love at last have arrived. This lead couple makes the frolic fun and leaves the audience on a SLOW RIDE waiting for Carrie Alexander to lock the door to this humorous miniseries.
