Blazes Hot!, July 2, 2002
This review is from: Seduced By The Enemy (Harlequin Blaze) (Paperback)
I have been burned by the Blaze Queen! At least one of them. And, my Romance reading friends, this is a good thing! Whew...Jamie Denton knows how to light a fire no holds barred. I dove in not knowing what to expect from my first Harlequin Blaze. I figured on hot, but got an inferno! She gives us a daring character accused of a double murder for a hero in Jared Romine. And who is among those accusing him? Peyton Douglas, his soul mate. As a matter of fact, she is the one who turned him in. What's that you say? His love, his soul mate, his life's desire turned on him. Yep. That's what I said.
Peyton Douglas is a young lawyer with trust issues who fought long and hard for the life she finally has. A life where she is safe. Jared is an ex-FBI agent on the run. Has been on the run for three long years, ever since Peyton turned him in. But those who are after him know his weakness. His women. They have already killed one that he loved and are now trying to use Peyton to draw him out. However, Jared is one step ahead of the mysterious them and kidnaps Peyton before they can cause any permanent damage. Not only does he have to protect her from the murderers who framed him, but has to win her trust. A task that may be harder to accomplish than proving his innocence while on the run.
During his long absence, Peyton agrees to marry someone else and sports the diamond to prove it. She is sure that her fiancé is just what she needs to keep her safe, comfortable, and happy. A reasonable, respected man who is career oriented and climbing the ladder of success with little stumbling, Leland Atwood would not abandon her in the throes of emotional trauma. He'd be steadfast and a sure thing. He would be IF Jared hadn't shown back up in her safe, happy little world. Now she has to choose between a "beige" relationship with Leland or one that is "red hot sexy" with Jared. But "red hot sexy" has lots of potential for emotional destruction whereas "beige" assures her of sound emotional well-being. Having been emotionally destroyed once in her young life causes her to lean heavily towards the safe, "beige" life that Leland offers.
While she makes up her mind, gun-slinging, senator-corrupted, FBI-agents-gone-bad are hot on their trail, narrowing the chances to better than good that Romine and his ladylove will be stopped before the two fugitives let the truth out of the bag. The truth that will clear both of them and just may allow them to start fresh. Whether they will be starting fresh with each other or not remains to be seen, at least until the very end.
In the midst of all this being-hunted-down angst, these two can't keep their hands, or tongues, or . . . well, they can't keep away from each other. Things happen on over-stuffed chairs by the fireplace that will make your scalp tingle. Oh, and there's a few bedroom scenes, too. I must say, I learned a thing or two about the possibilities of sexual pleasure from these two characters. One of those things is that the possibilities are endless, when you are being seduced by the enemy.

Be seduced., September 6, 2002
This review is from: Seduced By The Enemy (Harlequin Blaze) (Paperback)
While maintaining the blazing heat factor, seasoned Harlequin author Jamie Denton has penned a textured romance with heart and fuses it with intricate suspense. Seduced by the Enemy focuses on Jared Romine, rogue ex-FBI who is linked to the murder of his partner Jack Dysert and aide to hot-shot senator Martin Phipps. When Peyton Douglas, his cherished ex-flames gets embroiled in a scam to suggest that she is fraudulent of pocketing the money that Jared was rumoured to have taken, he steps in after a 3-year hiding to save both of their lives. Passion sears between the lovers but it is the exquisite tenderness that makes this romance exceptional. Peyton braves through a thwarted pregnancy and wrestles with mistrust, insecurity and a proposal from an amorous suitor when she obviously has feelings for Jared. There is passion and complexed emotions which touches real feelings. Despite the hot melting sex, it is Denton's sincere characters that makes this short read devastating in its scale.
