"A winner"
UNDER COVER by Mary Janice Davidson is the second book to
come out of the contest that Lori Foster held last year. Ms
Davidson was one of the winners and after you read UNDER
COVER you will see why. UNDER COVER is also the second book that Brava has issued
which features three novellas by the same author. In the
first novella, Sweet Strangers>/I>, Renee is on the run
from her employers who think she has stolen a formula that
can make a huge impact and save millions of lives. Unfortunately, Renee has no idea what they are talking
about and is running for her life when she jumps into an
open elevator and starts kissing the hunky stranger inside.
It turns out that the hunky stranger is nonother then Eric
Axelrod who is part of the private investigators'team
looking for Renee. Renee has to convince Eric that she is
innocent and has been set up, will he help her out or will
he turn her in? In Lovely Lies, just when Peter Random thought
things couldn't get any worse he finds Lori Jameison who
has been reported missing and is feared to be kidnapped.
She is actually hiding out at his apartment until the
morning when she can get the inheritance from her mother's
estate. There is a small problem though, there are two people who
are determined that they get the inheritance instead of
Lori and they are willing to do anything to get it. In Delightful Deception, Dr, Thea Foster thought her
career was going to go into the toilet when she found out
that the company she currently works for has been bought
out by Dr.Jimmy Scrye a certified genius who is also a
certified hunk. Thea has a hard time resisting Jimmy and decides to seduce
him and get him out of her system. Will one night really be
enough?? I really loved the way the three novellas are interwoven
and Mary Janice Davidson did something that is not seen
often, she turns a former bad guy into a hero. I think that
readers are going to thoroughly enjoy UNDER COVER and wish
they could get under the covers with Eric, Peter and Jimmy. Barb Hicks

Summary"Sweet Strangers"
Renee Jardin never meant to become the
world's most sought-after thief. But the minute she walks
out of her biotech firm accidentally carrying "The Cure"—
the most important scientific discovery of the century—
she's on the run from ruthless bioengineers, cops, and the
U.S. government. Desperate to lose her trackers, Renee
lays a full-body kiss on the first gorgeous guy she sees...a
kiss that she gets back with a toe-curling vengeance.
N.S.A. agent James Axelrod never thought apprehending his
suspect would be so easy, and so sinfully arousing...or that
he would consider taking her into custody in the privacy
of his own bedroom...
"Lovely Lies"
Peter Random lost everything when he was outwitted by that
goody-goody Renee Jardin. Late in his rent, his job gone,
Peter vows he'll never let anyone get close enough to burn
him again. So why can't he seem to tell Lori Jamieson and
her troubles to hit the road? It isn't just her hot bod
and full lips—although those have a magic he can't deny.
Something about the damsel in distress makes Peter want to
wrap her in his strong arms and prove that a bad boy can
be very, very good, especially when it's between the
sheets...
"Delightful Deception"
At the biotech firm, they call her Thea "I.Q." Foster—
"I.Q." for either Intelligence Quotient or Ice Queen,
depending. Slipping the Cure into Renee's tote bag was
satisfying revenge, but now that the fun's over, Thea sets
her sights on a new challenge: sarcastic, secretive Jimmy
Scrye. Cracking open his hard shell would be a real game,
but Jimmy's more than Thea's match. He's got a few ideas
for turning the tables on the brainy scientist...sensual,
erotic fantasy ideas that just might change those letters
in her name to "Incredible," "Insatiable," and "Quivering
with delight"...
