Kristin Hardy (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Blaze | Publication Date: June 1, 2002

A simple mistake...

A sexy mistake...

In fact, it would be the most incredibly sexy mistake of their lives. One minute, Cade Douglas, delectable Boston businessman, is signaling for a waitress in the bar of a very fashionable hotel. The next, he's nearly racing upstairs with a beautiful stranger, who'd answered his summons instead.

Gorgeous Ryan Donnelly can't believe it's all happened so smoothly. Before arriving, she had imagined how awkward it would be to meet the gigolo who'd been hired for her. Her gigolo. Her secret lover. The one who would ignite the intense passion she wasn't sure she'd ever experienced.

She was the one, the one who would fill his senses, save his soul. Cade was certain of it.

He was the one, summoning her so casually, so confidently. Ryan was certain of it, of him.

If they'd only known.

Loved this book so much! Cade and Ryan are really awesome characters. Their sudden meeting and the misunderstanding of that night turn into a wonderful foundation for the rest of the story. The sex scenes are sexy and very hot! I will really try some if these options! Still, for some reason...I kind of wish that Cade would have had to suffer more to get her back. Yeah, I am always waiting for mysterious strangers to try to sweep the heroine off her feet as the hero tries to make up for his screw up. I also recommend Whisper by Nancy Warren and The SEAL's Surprise Baby by Amy J. Fetzer.

Part time romance author Ryan Donnelly would dearly love to trade her career as a corporate trainer for writing full time. Unfortunately, her own life experience has prepared her for little more than writing simple, sweet romances. Now her must write the steamier versions of romance if she wants to make the transition. One inept experience eight years ago does not provide the needed inspiration. So her agent persuades her to hire a gigolo to cater to her needs. But a case of mistaken identity leads her the bedroom with the wrong man...who turns out to be perfect; that is, until she realizes her horrendous mistake.

Four years after his divorce and sexy Cade Douglas still goes home alone. So when a sensually delightful woman presents herself, he cannot resist the invitation to her room. Even as he realizes he is not the man she requires, Cade cannot walk away from such a luscious opportunity. He promises her to explain when they meet a second time, but the outraged Ryan has her own plans. Realizing her mistake, Ryan seduces Cade into allowing her tie him to the bedposts, takes her pleasure, and leaves him partially bound and his clothes lying in a tub of water. Of course they meet again weeks later, in a professional environment, and then things get real interesting!

You've got to love a woman daring enough to use a man for her pleasure and then leave him bound to the bedposts. Of course he can eventually free himself, but not until she's made her point. Moreover, you've also got to love a man so determined to satisfy! Ryan and Cade are the kinds of characters romance readers adore, showing tremendous growth and change, hearts of gold, and a real pizzazz for sensuality. Secondary characters likewise sparkle. Ryan's gravelly-voiced agent and her new love will bring smiles as well.

Debut author Kristin Hardy's own impetuously spontaneous nature dazzles in MY SEXIEST MISTAKE. She admits MY SEXIEST MISTAKE was inspired by her attendance at a writers' conference. She plotted out this Blaze novel on the plane home and wrote the draft of Chapter One that night. Harlequin wisely bought this outstanding new voice, and her subsequent three book will be released by Blaze in 2003. Hardy is definitely a rising star to watch for. MY SEXIEST MISTAKE comes very highly recommended.
