"Fast paced read"
Looking For Trouble is the first book in a new miniseries,
Invitations To Seduction which is being offered through
Harlequin's Blaze Line. In Looking For Trouble author,
Julie Elizabeth Leto has set the hook that has me
eagerly anticipating the other books in the series. Rory Carmichael has lived a somewhat sheltered life having
been raised by a strict grandmother after she and her twin
Micki were abondoned by their mother. Rory has tried hard
for 25 years to be everything her mother and twin have
not. Now she is ready to make her move, and does this by
moving to Chicago. In Chicago she gets a job working for a
company called Divine Events. It's while waiting for her
interview that her attention is nabbed by a red leather
book entitled Sexcapades. As she awaits her interview she notices women "borrowing"
pages of the book. She just wants to look, but ends up
with not one but two of the Sexcapades adventures. Luckily for Rory her new landlord is Alec Manning. Alec is
also trying to make up for his past. Alec has a playboy
image that he is trying hard to shake, and to that effort
he has sworn off women. He throws himself into trying to
redeem his professional career. His lack of wanting a
relationship makes him perfect for Rory and her Sexcapades
adventures. Rory and Alec learn a lot about life through this short
book. I believe that Alec did a lot of growing, and
exploring of his past and present actions more so than
Rory did. Would he have acheived his growth without
Rory...I believe not. Howver Rory has managed to
reconcile her past with the path she wishes to embark on
in the future. I don't think she would have managed
without Alec's guidance along the way. This book is a Blaze, and it's the first Blaze I've read.
While it was hotter than my normal reads it wasn't as hot
as I thought the Blaze line was. I truly enjoyed the
story, and am glad that Ms. Leto is planning a follow-up
book.

A bad boy trying to change his image.
And a book of sensual invitations that will make them
forget everything but each other ...

fantasies that have been teasing her, tempting her,
tormenting her, at night.
And when she discovers 'Sexcapades,' a book of naughty but
very, very nice scenarios created for lovers, she realizes
she has exactly what she needs to turn all those fantasies
into reality. Especially since her new landlord, sexy
Alec Manning, looks like he would be very nice to be
naughty with...
