She plays by the rules...

Psychologist Sara Davenport wrote the book on bad boys. Literally. When her publicist arranges for her to speak on Nick Chandler's radio show, Sara's quickly refuses. But going head-to-head with the famous bad boy would be great for sales. Besides, she can handle Nick...right? If she could only stop wishing he'd handle her!

Bad boys don't play fair...

Sparring with Dr. Davenport has been great, but Nick wants more. Yeah, he came on a bit strong when they first met, but once Sara gets to know him... Of course, seducing the woman who's sworn off bad boys would only prove to his listeners--and the good doctor--just how good he can be....

This review is from: When He Was Bad...: Xmas/New Year (Harlequin Temptation) (Mass Market Paperback)

Psychologist Sara Davenport literally wrote the book on bad boys. It is titled "Chasing the Bad Boy" and is a major hit. Her publicist, Karen Dawson, lines Sara up to do a radio spot on KZAP with local heart throb and bad boy Nick Chandler. Of course, Nick and Sara go head-to-head and the phone lines light up like the Fourth of July.

Sparring with Dr. Davenport has been great, but Nick wants more. He understands that he came on a bit too strong and opinionated for her, but is sure that once she gets to know him she will be like any other woman. But if Nick is the famous local bad boy, Sara is the famous national good girl. He will have to prove to his listeners, Sara, and the press that he can be a really good boy when he really wants to be.

***** This book is a spicy little romance that is PERFECT for those cold afternoons or evenings that you want to cuddle up in front of a fire with and dream. If you are looking for heart pounding suspense go somewhere else. If you are looking for heart pounding romance that leaves you with a warm feeling and in high spirits, this is it! Author Jane Sullivan is on her way to the top! *****

5.0 out of 5 stars Ohhh He is so bad., December 9, 2004

This review is from: When He Was Bad...: Xmas/New Year (Harlequin Temptation) (Mass Market Paperback)

When He Was Bad is another hot and steamy read by Jane Sullivan.

Psychologist Sara Davenport has researched bad boys that woman love. She is scheduled to promote her new book on a local talk radio show. This show is hosted by the baddest of the bad boys, Nick Chandler.

Nick Chandler had a way with all women. He had the perfect vehicle to talk about them on this show. Sara was so far removed from his usual guest that she intrigues Nick.

Their first meeting didn't go as either had planned. Sara decides for her next book she wants the male point of view. She enlists help from Nick. But Nick wants more then to give Sara insights to all bad boys. He wants Sara all to himself. Sara finds it hard to resist when a man like Nick focuses solely on her.

Sara and Nick both have more to offer then what appears on the surface. Its fun watching them banter and steam up any room they both are in. It's a another keeper.
