Book Description

When three women go to a "lock and key" party to meet sexy singles, they never expect to find their perfect matches...in love and in bed!

When Aurora "Rory" Constable and Tucker Schulz are thrown together at a "lock and key" party, the attraction is undeniable. Despite the simmering sexual tension between them, they decide to fight their feelings and just be friends...until they win a weekend together to explore all the other ways they could fit together....

With Tucker's skillful hands all over her before they even set out, Rory is soon hot and bothered. Cooling down with the resort's specialty drink--liquid sex--isn't likely to help! How is she going to maintain her "friends only" no-sex vow when she's this close to a man she wants day and night?

4.0 out of 5 stars fine finish to a fun trilogy, March 5, 2005

This review is from: Slow Ride (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

In California, bakery owner Aurora "Rory" Constable and Tucker Shultz meet at a party. The duo is attracted to one another immediately and during a dance, he admits to "foreplay", but flees once the music stopped. Though he wants her Tucker backs off because she smells of marriage and children, relationships he is not ready for.

Rory donates bakery goods to the "Lock & Key charity event that she also is a willing participant along with two close friends, Michaela Corelli (see HARD TO HANDLE by Jamie Denton) and Lauren Massey (see ON THE LOOSE by Shannon Hollis). She and Tucker win a weekend together. While he wants just a two day fling, she knows he is her forever soulmate; now she has to persuade her beloved that he will never find another Rory.

The third and final "Lock and Key" torrid contemporary romance is a fine story though in some ways feels too similar to the previous tales that just came out in the last two months. Rory and Tucker are a likable couple and her explanation about Woodstock and her first name hooks the audience from the onset. Fans of the mini- series will appreciate Carrie Alexander's fine finish to a fun trilogy.
