Product Description
Bestselling author Elizabeth Thornton weaves a tale of seduction, love, intrigue—and the most dangerous of romances.
As the Avon Journal’s no-nonsense publisher, Jolie Chesney always sticks to the facts. And the fact is that she finds the celebrated war hero who comes to her office angrily demanding a retraction unsettlingly charismatic. Waldo Bowman’s wild sexual exploits have found their way into the paper’s gossip column, and Jo has no intention of compromising her standards, journalistic or otherwise. But when her star reporter suspiciously vanishes, Jo seeks help from this dangerously sensual man, whose connection to the Special Branch may save her friend’s life, even if it means putting her own life—and heart—on the line.
Waldo Bowman senses danger in his instant attraction to Jo. Beautiful and independent, she is unlike any woman he knows—and he’s determined not to lose her, whatever the risk. For soon, these reluctant lovers will embark on a mystery that will either change their lives—or end them.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really enjoyed this book. The mystery was good and even though the villain was fairly obvious, the rest was not. The heroine was strong and thoughtful and allowed herself to err and be human. Waldo was lovely and his name didn't seem to bother me at all.
I quite enjoyed the sensuous passages and their romance didn't seem forced or unnatural. I've read and re-read this book a few times already and will undoubtedly read it a few times more. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a strong heroine who does not come across arrogantly or unbelievably.

I really enjoyed this book. Strong characters and good plotline. And, of course, happy endings all round. Not completely sure about the hero's name as Waldo doesn't really do anything for me. However, that aside, this is a good romance as well as a good mystery. The heroine's best friend and gossip columnist disappears after writing gossip about the hero. The heroine (Jolie) teams up with the hero (Waldo?) to find out what's happened to her, not without some suspicion on Jolie's part. Jolie has an extreme sense of loyalty to her deceased husband which gets in the way of the romance at first but there's a shock to come in that area as well. All in all, very enjoyable and engrossing book. Good holiday read.

I discovered Elizabeth Thornton not long ago from having seen her name mentioned in a different author's book review. She has since become one of my favorite romance authors.
You couldn't help but like the hero and heroine, strong decent characters. I had doubts about the hero being called Waldo at first but as I sunk my teeth into the story, it didnt seem so important.
As can be expected, there are twists and a few surprises, a mystery to solve and an evil villain. It all makes for an enjoyable read.
