Product Description

Wearing her shades, a black Stetson, and snakeskin cowboy boots, security agent Maxine "Max" Blake is the baddest thing walking. Ex-marine, ex-cop, and a whole lotta 'tude, Max doesn't have time for anything but her job. Her latest assignment: to protect Dr. Adam Gary. Her problem: he doesn't want her there.

Adam wants to focus on his work, not to be distracted by this tall, sexy woman. A foiled kidnapping attempt may have forced him to take an undercover agent into his household, but no one said anything about the agent being a woman, or that she'd be beautiful, or that she came with two monster rottweilers. How is he supposed to concentrate on his top-secret project that could revolutionize the world when all he can think about is her smooth, coffee-colored skin and those long, lean legs?

But as danger nips at their heels, love may be a distraction neither of them will live to enjoy . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy/Dangerous is Right!, November 10, 2006

By	R. A Rippy "rarippy" (Shelbyville, Tennessee United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ms. Bev has done it again with another hot, action packed novel! Max is amazing, sexy and dangerous and Adam is sexy as heck! I was on the edge of my seat reading this wonderful action packed novel. I love the fact that some characters from her historical novels were again added in this story too! Once you get started on this story, you won't put it down until the end and you will love it from the beginning to the end! As always after reading Ms. Bev's novels, I go back and read about their relatives mentioned in her books from her previous novels. Another great story Ms. Bev.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sistah who can Handle Busines!! Awesome!, November 5, 2006

By	Priscilla C. Johnson "bookmaniac" (Baltimore, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews

This is a story worth staying up all night to finish. Dr. Adam Gray, considered by most to be super nerd, first African American genius. He is on the verge of presenting one of his inventions that could revolutionize the world for both good and evil. But he doesn't want protection...that is until he meets Max Blake. Max, ex-marine, ex-cop, undercover FEMALE agentwith two Huge Rottweilers, Ossie and Ruby, at her side. Oh Heck No!!

As he continues to work on his invention, it is Max's job to protect him at all cost. Until they both become aware of each other. Max shows that she is more than capable of protecting the doctor and Adam shows that there is more to him than math and science. Ms. Jenkins has once again demonstrted that NO ONE can pen a romance/thriller like her. The story is fast paced, action-packed, threaded together with hot romance. If you are a Jenkins fan, you will come across old favoites, Mykal, Saint and Portia, but you will instantly fall in love with the new characters.

Peace and Blessings !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars She's done it again!, November 16, 2006

By	Mirage08 (VA) - See all my reviews

Sexy/Dangerous is a wonderful read. I read it in about 2 days. It had me cracking up! Ms. B's humor is too funny. Max was a bad something. And Adam was not your typical scientist at all. Nothing nerdy about him!!! The dogs in the story were too funny and cute as well. The story was fast paced and I could definitely see it played out as a movie. Also along with Ms. B's other stories it was HOT! You get to catch up with old characters from her other contemporaries and we get to meet a new character as well and he is something else. Ok don't want to give too much away. Go ahead and get your copy. You won't be disappointed!
