This review is from: Short, Sweet And Sexy (Single In The City) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

A.J. is the misfit of the Potter family. Her goal, since she was seven and came to live with her very proper aunt and uncle has been to prove the differences between herself and her impulsive mother. That burden has inspired her to move from the family home into a lovely Central Park address and leads to her introduction to two wonderful roommates and one one-magnet skirt.

Skirt trance leads to a bit of distraction for Sam Romano. His security firm has been hired to ensure the safety of the Abelard necklace, so when he sees his own godfather circumvent security and enter the museum hours before its opening, he intends to stop the jewelry heist, returning the precious gems to their rightful place before anyone knows the difference. Unfortunately, skirt memorization allows the situation to escalate, and soon Sam finds himself with a new partner and major distraction.

The man-magnet skirt returns in a new sassy adventure in SHORT, SWEET AND SEXY, a luxuriant blend of fabulous characterizations and suspense. A.J. and Sam are a studied clash of opposites despite their shared certainty that each has found "the one." A.J.'s determination to not disappoint her family by imitating her mother's behavior becomes strong motivation that both challenges and inspires her. Sam's disappointment in his godfather blinds him to the possibilities that A.J. never abandons. Secondary characters likewise sparkle, especially Franco, A.J.'s doorman, who promises to make a return in the next three books of the series. Complete with neurotic dogs, a flamboyant supporting cast, and plenty of passion, SHORT, SWEET AND SEXY earns the WordWeaving Award for Excellence.
