Book Description

Midnight Fantasy #5: Having him just where you want him...

Bounty hunter Joelle Summers is very good at her job. But she's definitely in over her head when she mistakenly picks up sexy businessman Dean Colter. Because unlike her usual prisoners, Dean makes it clear that he's ready to accommodate Joelle's every sensual fantasy. Dean claims he's not guilty—but Joelle quickly realizes he's not so innocent, either....

After years of working himself to death, Dean Colter wants an adventure. But being kidnapped by a gorgeous bounty hunter—one who's into bondage, to boot—isn't exactly what he had in mind. Still, being a willing captive has its advantages. Jo might be the one with the cuffs, but Dean's just discovered the key to unleashing the passionate, uninhibited woman behind the badge.

5.0 out of 5 stars WICKED SEDUCTION leaves a blazing trail of passion, June 30, 2002

By 

Desmond Chan (Bishan North Singapore) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Wicked Seduction (Midnight Fantasies) (Harlequin Blaze) (Paperback)

As if her last Blaze entry hadn't generate enough heat waves, Janelle Denison returns with a vengeance to scorch readers with her sizzling passion. A Wicked Seduction tells of bounty hunter Joelle Summers who embarks on her latest assignment to bring felon Dean Coulter to justice after he jumped bail. Little did she know that a mistaken identity was in the making when Dean - a repectable CEO of a thriving traffic company had his identification purloined by the wanted crook. The captor-prey relationship is ignited by smoldering desires and electric chemistry between Jo and Dean. Under the cloak of hot passion, they are welled up in personal traumas. Jo is haunted by the guilt at seeing the death of her rookie partner; Dean grips with the shadows of his father who struggled with the business and neglects his family. The escapade is a temporary shelter for their problems but when the time arrives for them to face the daunting possibility of love, they each have to make their own choices. A Wicked Seduction is richly textured with emotions that flourishes in a cauldron of erotic passion. Janelle Denison just keeps getting better with each book and her talents at crafting a tight narration should have by now, seduce more fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling Till The End!, May 5, 2002

By 

Romance At Its Best (Warminster, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Wicked Seduction (Midnight Fantasies) (Harlequin Blaze) (Paperback)

A WICKED SEDUCTION by author Janelle Denison is just that - wicked but in all the good ways. Bounty hunter, Joelle Sommers or Jo, picks up a man who is wanted for grant theft auto, only one problem - the man she picks up, Dean Coulter, is innocent as it turns out. From the start, someone uses his identity to do the deed and Dean is supposed to do the time. As days and nights go by with the couple in such close capacity, the truth soon reveals itself. The truth of his innocence to Jo, the truth about their own growing attraction between each other, and the truth that they both need something more than their jobs - they need companionship and they need each other. Jo has had a hard past as former cop, now P.I. and Dean a businessman. Neither of them has had much of a social life let alone closeness of the minds and in bed. Jo is afraid to commit and let go of her past mistakes and fear of failure and Dean is afraid he'll lose Jo whom he can't live without. Together they will complete each other.

Besides the couple there are other interesting characters in the book that play small but intriguing parts; Jo's two brothers, Noel and Cole, and their secretary, Melodie. Jo's brothers are very overprotective bunches that just don't want to face the fact their little sister really can protect herself now. Their heart is in the right place though. Sexual tension rides between Cole and Melodie and I'm happy that they'll have their own story in Ms. Denison's July 2002 Temptation "Heat", entitled A SHAMELESS SEDUCTION.

As always, Ms. Denison's books are a must-read for me. They light up my days and heat up my nights. I enjoy her sultry writing and her delicious characters. Her characters are well developed and are people you can really relate to. Their people that you root for through the entire story. You cry for them, you laugh with them, and you're sad when they are. Joelle and Dean are no different than the others. Having Joelle as a bounty hunter makes it very interesting for the story, a woman with a badge and a gun. Dean, being a great guy, isn't intimated by her choice of work which makes the story even better. Ms. Denison has done it again with this one and I for one will be waiting with great anticipation for her next book. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have and Ms. Denison earns 5 stars with this one - way to go!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bring on the handcuffs, May 11, 2002

By 

Helena L. Beasley "kid at heart" (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: A Wicked Seduction (Midnight Fantasies) (Harlequin Blaze) (Paperback)

Jo Summers has lost her self-confidence and Dean Colter is just the man to help her find it. She has spent the last few years trying to convince herself and her brothers that she can be trusted to handle life and death situations as a bounty hunter. Bringing in Dean will be a piece of cake

Just when Dean has decided to stop and smell the roses, Jo shows up determined to take him to jail. Standing trial for a crime he didn't commit was not what Dean had in mind when he decided to take a much-needed vacation. He needs time to decide what he wants to do with the rest of his life and being handcuffed by the sexy Joelle is giving him wild of ideas.

Janelle's characters sneak into your heart and stay there. They make you laugh, cry and feel good about life. This author has truly mastered the phrase " always leave them wanting more" I cant wait for the next book in the series
