Sarah Nivens lost her heart twelve years ago when Alex Emerson disappeared. When they meet again she'll date him, but she vows never to trust him with her heart. Alex will settle for nothing less than Sarah's love. Spanning the distance that separates their east and west coast homes is the easy part...crossing the barrier that Sarah has put up is much harder, but the prize is well worth the effort!

This review is from: Too Hot To Handle (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

While in Manhattan on business, Alex Emerson sees Sarah Nevins coming out of a specialty grocer. He is very excited to see her because she is the woman he loved when they attended Hollywood High School together. However, Sarah is icy towards Alex providing him with polite platitudes, but refusing to see him. Sarah has never forgiven Alex for deserting her when they had made plans. Alex thinks how he searched for her once he was an adult, but never found his beloved Sarah until this chance occurrence in lower Manhattan.

Back in San Francisco, Alex's staff avoids him as he has been a bear since coming home. Likewise in New York Sarah's employees steer clear of her too as she is as ferocious as Alex has been since the encounter. Alex realizes he needs Sarah back in his life so he decides to hire her firm Great Graphics! to design a new logo for his company. As they work close together, the love they shared years ago resurfaces. Now if Sarah trusts Alex that he had no choice except to leave Hollywood, but looked for his beloved as soon as he could, they can make it.

TOO HOT TO HANDLE is an amusing contemporary romance that feels as if a split screen is in use as the audience observes the reactions of two staffs towards their CEOs. The story line never takes itself seriously though the heat between the lead couple is palpable. Readers will enjoy Barbara Daly's whimsical cross continental romance that focuses in the office as much as the bedroom.
