SHE WAS IN THE WRONG BED... Reputed bad girl Vanessa Verne is ecstatic when Morgan Fine seduces her -- even if it is a case of mistaken identity. After all, she's been trying to get the sexy bodyguard in bed for weeks! She'd even sent herself steamy letters from a "secret admirer" to get his attention. And now that she has it, she'll do anything to keep this fine man in her bed...!

AT THE RIGHT TIME! All Secret Service agent Morgan Fine wanted was a bedtime romp with Senator Verne's maid. How was he supposed to know she had swapped beds for the night with his boss's daughter? After that one night of incredible sex, he can see that Vanessa's reputation as one of D.C.'s most scandalous socialites is no exaggeration. Yet he can't wait to experience it again....

1.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment..., February 13, 2002

By 

Lorna Owens - See all my reviews

This review is from: Naughty By Nature (The Wrong Bed) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

I have to disagree with the previous reviewer.

This book started out with a bang, with Morgan falling into bed with Vanessa by mistake, thinking she was someone else. After that, the plot just sort of went downhill. I felt the whole "secret admirer"/bomber storyline really didn't go anywhere. Of course the resolution was tied up nice and proper, in only a few short pages.

Vanessa struck me as being overly childish, while the fact that Morgan was blantantly looking forward to sleeping with Lucy (the friend/maid) in the first two pages of the book really turned me off. Overall, a disappointing read.

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Naughty By Nature (The Wrong Bed) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

The Valentine Bomber sent two explosive letters to two former US Senators who along with another retired colleague is leading the debate on extending maternity leave. So far luck has insured no one has been hurt, but Secret Service Agent Morgan Fine is assigned to watch over Vivian Verne, the daughter of the third retired senator.

Morgan has done his duty, but has kept his distance from the vixen he watches. Now with his two weeks of bodyguard service over, Morgan makes a play for Vivian's maid Lucy Giangarfalo, who invites him to her bedroom. The next morning after awakening to the best sex of his life, a horrified Morgan realizes he spent the night with that man eating Vivian. As the threat to her safety rises, there is a direct correlation of risk to his heart that goes up proportionally as Morgan and Vivian fall in love.

NAUGHTY BY NATURE is an exciting political romance that shows the danger to individuals when extremists try to take control of any issue worthy of debate and ultimately synergy. Though how Morgan mistook the six-foot Vivian for the five-foot Lucy seems impossible even with the duo steaming the sheets in the dark. Still, the lead couple is an engaging pair who drives a strong tale forward. Jule McBride provides readers with an interesting tale of love and compromise that leaves the reader thinking about solutions not sound bytes to other complex issues.
