Private Lessons (Blaze) (Harlequin Temptation) [Paperback]

Julie Elizabeth Leto (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Temptation | Publication Date: February 1, 1999

Investment broker Grant Riordan was a bit of a stuffed shirt--until "Harley" showed up on his doorstep and sent his libido skyrocketing. After an accident, she didn't know who she was, but she definitely knew who she wanted. Sexy, serious Grant made her heart race and her body tingle. There might have been a few holes in her memory, but she had no doubt she could give Grant some very memorable lessons..

From the Author

Dear Reader, When I think Blaze, I think fantasy. Push-the-limits fantasy. Cross-the-line fantasy. Fantasies that make you blush, even when you're alone. My favorite kind. My first Blaze, SEDUCING SULLIVAN, featured characters with unresolved desires from the past--characters destined to reunite. For my second Blaze, I wanted something different. I wanted to bring together a man and a woman who didn't have any business even being in the same room, much less in the same bed. A man and a woman so drawn to each other, they're willing to gamble everything in exchange for the briefest moment of ecstasy.

Once Harley and Grant meet, however, the ecstasy is anything but brief. Harley's a woman with a secret--a scandal waiting to happen. Grant can't afford even a hint of a gossip thrown in his direction, and yet, Harley proves too tempting to resist.

The risks heighten. The tension soars. Ooh, I love writing for Temptation!

Grant and Harley teach each other quite a bit about the price and the rewards of true, uninhibited passion--a desirable lesson to learn. I hope PRIVATE LESSONS heats up your day--and your nights. After all, that's what Blaze is all about.

This review is from: Private Lessons (Blaze) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

I recently discovered the author Julie Elizabeth Leto. I was so impressed with her style of writing that I am now searching for her earlier titles.

In Private Lessons, Hailey (aka Harley)was desperate for some quick cash and decided to accept an offer to substitute as a stripper for her cousin. The gig was a bachelor party at the company owned home of banker Grant Riordan. Upon entering his home and after a slight accident Harley developes amnesia. (Now we all know that the amnesia bit has been played to death but Ms. Leto's writing style prevents the story from becoming just another amnesia story.)

Grant allows Harley to stay at his home to rest and recover her memory. What follows is a well written story of two very likeable characters as they fall in love.

This story was published as a Harlequin Temptation Blaze. The series is known for very sensual, sexy stories and Private Lessons surely delivered on that account. If you like quick, fun, sexy reads with love scenes that are steamy, don't pass this one up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Sizzler, March 17, 2000

This review is from: Private Lessons (Blaze) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

As hot as Private Lessons is, and, boy, is it hot, I enjoyed it equally for the characters and the storyline. Julie Elizabeth Leto's books have at their center a lot of emotion and heart. Grant and Harley belong together, their intimate love scene requires a fire extinguisher, and this book demands a spot on my keeper shelf.

This review is from: Private Lessons (Blaze) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

Julie Elizabeth Leto is a definite rising star. She writes with such emotion and passion her books are impossible to put down.

If you're looking for hot romance with engaging characters in an equally engaging story, look no further than Private Lessons. And don't forget to clear a space on your keeper shelf for all the great Leto books to come!
