"A very steamy romance"

Nicole Bennett relishes life as a thief even though she has faced some nasty capers over the years. However, no one has tailed her quite like obstinate insurance investigator Alex Cassevetis though she would not mind a piece of his tail. Her plan is simply to toy with her pursuer until she catches him in her boudoir and satiates herself by making love with him.

Alex struggles to control his libido because every time he thinks of Nicole, he becomes aroused. However he needs her outside the bedroom because she is his only lead to another thief, the murderous Dark Man. His plan is to get his fill of her in the boudoir, but to use her thieving skills to help him catch a deadly thief. Neither one expected love to enter their bait and bed game.

The final book of the Bad Girls trilogy (see WICKED AND WILLING BY Leslie Kelly and BRAZEN AND BURNING by Julie Elizabeth Leto) is RED HOT AND RECKLESS as team Carrington provides an erotic romantic suspense thriller. The story line is loaded with action, much of it outside the boudoir, but there is enough under the covers to satiate those readers who appreciate the heat up high. Nicole is an intriguing character, who prefers stealing as her prime asset accumulation technique while Alex is not quite as straight laced as he first appears. Yet with all the sex- driven tension, what makes this a steamy triumph is the taut subplot focused on capturing the Dark Man combined with the blazing relationship tale. Fans receive a powerful action packed sexy drama.
