"First rate contemporary romance"

Photographer Cat McCade's fifteen minutes of fame came from her shots of men posing in underwear for an ad campaign. Though she enjoys the male physique, at least those of her models, she is more skittish than a fraidy cat when it comes to personal relationships. She never allows anyone to get close to her heart. That changes when she meets the Texas Ranger.

Jesse Dane is the classic Ranger, a lawman preferring to live alone. However, since he shared that one evening with Cat, his bed seems empty. Desperate to forget that incredible evening of sex in heaven, he dives deep into his work. He is assigned to guard a photographer working for influential businessman Sterling Szachon. However, this is one body he wants to do more than just guard, as his assignment is to protect Cat.

Only the great Sandra Chastain can use the coincidence of a second encounter due to the convergence of their respective jobs and turn it into a first rate contemporary romance. Ms. Chastain succeeds because the audience quickly likes and cares about the lead couple, hoping they can make it as much out of bed as they do in. Perhaps not quite classic Chastain, LOOK, BUT DON'T TOUCH remains a fabulously written terrific tale that thoroughly entertains the reader.

Summary

Photographer Cat McCade has no problem admitting she has a weakness for half-naked men. After all, she's gained national recognition for her men's underwear ads. Still, she's always very careful not to let any man get too close — until she has a fateful run-in with Texas Ranger Jesse Dane. And then she can't get him out of his clothes fast enough.

Jesse Dane is a loner — and likes it that way. Only, since he shared a one-night stand with a sexy stranger, he's been out of sorts, suddenly wanting more.... So when he learns he's getting a new assignment — to serve as a bodyguard to powerful businessman Sterling Szachon's new photographer — he's relieved. Until he realizes that the body he'll be guarding is the one that shared his bed.
