Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy [Mass Market Paperback]

HelenKay Dimon (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2009

Annie Parks came to Hawaii to settle a score, not spend time handcuffed to a sexy stranger's bed - even if said stranger saved her from drowning after she was pitched overboard by some goons. Looking at six feet of hard, Hawaiian muscle and gorgeous cool that's making forgotten parts of her say, 'Aloha!', Annie needs to stay focused. But a side dish of Kane Travers is awfully tempting. Kauai Police Chief Kane Travers is not a holiday kind of guy. So it figures that when Internal Affairs suspended him, he'd end up rescuing a sarcastic, dishonest, extremely hot redhead who is clearly hiding something. Kane's got half a mind to give miss whoever she is something she'll never forget, even if his cop senses tell him she needs his protection. But how can he get her to tell him anything when his mouth won't stop covering hers?

More About the Author

By day I'm a divorce lawyer specializing in unhappy endings. One day, during a particularly difficult string of cases, a former co-worker handed me a romance novel with the promise of a much-needed escape and a happy ending. I've been reading - and now writing - romance ever since.

My first release, the novella HARDHATS AND SILK STOCKINGS in the Kensington Brava anthology WHEN GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO BAD BOYS with Lori Foster and Erin McCarthy, was an Amazon, B&N and Borders bestseller. My first single author anthology, VIVA LAS BAD BOYS!, earned rave reviews and was a bestseller on Amazon and at B&N. Both books are available on Amazon and at other bookselling outlets.

My first single title, YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY, is a July 2007 Kensington Brava release. Check back here for more details. You also can visit me at www.helenkaydimon.com for updated information and some chit chat on my blog.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smoking Hot and Funny, August 13, 2007

Judy "book reader" (Cincinnati, ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy (Paperback)

Helen Kay Dimon has written a funny, hot and sexy story in Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy.

Police Chief Kane Travers is forced to take a vacation when charges of wrongdoing are circling around him. Kane has gotten bored after only a few days. That is until he finds a naked woman barely breathing on his stretch of Hawaiian beach.

Annie Parks has come to Hawaii to find the man who scammed her mother. She was so close to the man until she was thrown overboard a yacht out in the ocean. Annie is grateful to be alive but not so happy to be the prisoner of the Police Chief.

Kane slowly gets some of the story out of Annie and this sets off a chain reaction that is connected to the case that forced Kane's vacation. Kane has his hands full trying to keep Annie safe and keeping the danger away from his family.

Kane and Annie's road to romance in paradise is filled with sassy and witty dialogue. Their chemistry leaps off every page. They snap and sizzle in and out of the bedroom.

Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy is a true find. I strongly recommend this book to every romance reader. It's a gem.

This review is from: Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy (Paperback)

Kane Travers is the police chief of Kauai in Hawaii. Placed on suspension by his superiors, he is slowly going nuts during this so called `vacation'. While wandering on the beach, he comes across a lovely nymph that has washed up on his beach. She's red haired and stunningly beautiful, so Kane does what any other law-abiding citizen would. He brings her back to his house and handcuffs her to his bed.

Annie Parks knows she is in trouble when her gaze meets that of a hard bodied, enigmatic stranger. Six feet tall and purely gorgeous as only native Hawaiian men can be, Annie knows she is in trouble. Feigning amnesia, she figures he will take her to the hospital and then go on his merry way. Annie could not be more wrong because not only is he stubborn, but he is an officer of the law as well. She doesn't have time to be waylaid by Mr. Dreamy, she has a vendetta to accomplish and he is just in her way.

Knowing that his handcuffed dream girl is lying through her teeth, Kane vows to get to the bottom of her showing up unconscious on his strip of beach without clothes and identification. He has no idea that his suddenly boring life will become more exciting than he ever thought possible.

HelenKay Dimon is a genius. Witty repertoire, stunningly sensual overtures and just plain good writing, she captured my attention from the first page of Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy until the last page was read. Annie and Kane's banter back and forth made me laugh out loud more often than not and their love for each other, once they finally admitted it, was just the perfect ingredient needed to make this book a truly enjoyable read.

Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy is the first work I have read by this author but it won't be the last. I can't wait to go back and read her other books. For a fun, quick witted and steamy romance, you can't go wrong with Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy. Now if only Kane's interfering and nosy nephews could have their own stories my life would be complete!

This review is from: Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy (Paperback)

When Kane Travers finds a beautiful stranger washed up on his beach unconscious and very naked, he jumps into rescue mode without skipping a beat. It's all part of his job as Chief of Police in Kauai. But handcuffing her to his bed is not...

Annie Parks finds herself in quite a predicament when she wakes in the arms of the hunky but distrustful police chief. He seems to have a knack for discerning just when she isn't exactly telling the truth, and he doesn't like it. Still, being handcuffed to his bed is much better than sleeping with the fish, and does have its own benefits...

She came to Kauai seeking revenge, but when the object of her fury proves to be a bigger villain than she suspected, she must tell Kane her whole story, trusting him to help her not with her previously planned vengeance, but merely to stay alive!

HelenKay Dimon's romance novel Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy was a wonderful introduction for this reviewer to Ms. Dimon's work! Not having read this author previously, I was not sure what to expect, but found myself intrigued by the synopsis of this story. Upon reading an advance copy of this book, I found I was far from disappointed!

The book's heroine, Annie Parks, is a sassy, strong and undeniably intriguing character. It is no wonder the hero has a hard time letting her go, even when she is driving him bonkers with unmistakable lies and half truths. See, Annie did not exactly come to the Kauai island of Hawaii for the most upstanding of reasons, and telling the Chief of Police does not strike her as the smartest way to handle her current jam. Then again, the handsome Hawaii native is not exactly telling her everything either...

Kane Travers is a veritable boy scout, with a heart of gold and the most honorable of intentions. Of course, that honor does not prevent him from lusting after the beautiful little liar he finds himself stuck with. Kane is an intriguing hero - an upstanding guy with a heart that has been closed off, afraid to love and lose again. Yet he believes in love and family with every fiber of his being, and longs for that which he believes he cannot have.

Dimon weaves an intricate suspense plot with the romance, providing plenty of surprises near the end complete with some tension filled action scenes. Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy is a fun romantic romp that will have you laughing, biting your nails, and leave you ultimately satisfied with a neat little happy ever after!
