"Wonderful contemporary romance"
In El Paso, undercover cop Ben "Benny the Slash" Prescott
seeks the killer of his partner when he tries to cut a
drug deal with Nando Ramirez. He almost succeeds when all
hell breaks loose and in the melee he is shot. Ben's
brother Sterling and his new wife Chloe are willing to
delay their honeymoon to help him heal, but he rejects the
idea. When former radio station owner Julia Boudreaux
offers her home to him, everyone accepts though the
patient is reluctant to do so. As Ben heals, he and Julia are attracted to one another,
but he sees her as a spoiled rich bad girl and she sees
him as a thug. Needing an idea for a show, she comes up
with makeover, a reality show to convert a bad boy into a
caring person. Her first Primal Guy choice is Ben, who
she wants to change from a "Petri dish of testosterone"
into a compassionate individual. As she works on the
conversion, they fall in love, but can their feelings
overcome their first negative impressions? The third "Sexy" tale is a wonderful contemporary romance
starring two individuals who prefer people to think they
are "bad" but actually wear armor to hide how they really
feel towards each other and for that matter the world.
The story line is fun to follow as Ben and Julia battle
for supremacy as the superbad soul in Linda Francis Lee's
third gender war. The return of characters from the
previous tales (including by amusing email exchanges) adds
warmth to a fine conclusion and a delightful miniseries. Harriet Klausner
