"Fine contemporary romance"
In Houston, Delilah Montague cannot get any sleep because
her next door neighbor makes a racket at night. She owns
the exclusive Spa Demay that she inherited from her
recently deceased elderly companion Howard "Cash"
Bradford. Working extremely hard to prove herself,
Delilah knows that most of her employees, Cash's daughter,
and her patrons believe she earned this business by being
bed prone as Cash's candy. She knows the truth though she
vowed not to reveal to anyone. If Delilah thought her world was complicated enough, she
soon finds Cash left her with one more problem.
Apparently Viagra worked a miracle and Cash sired a baby
that has just been dumped on Delilah. She obtains the
help of her neighbor ethical attorney Benjamin Huntington
III in dealing with the infant. Readers will enjoy this contemporary romance that focuses
on the maxim not to judge a book by its cover
(figuratively as this cover seems apropos). The story
line is well written with ironically readers, Ben, and the
support cast drawing conclusions about Delilah that fail
to hold up under closer scrutiny. Though she and Ben seem
to have no personal issues except as they relate to one
another, fans will take WHEN SHE'S BAD to the bank as a
fine read. Harriet Klausner

SummaryThanks to her mother, who raised hell, and her father, who
preached against it, Delilah Montague has a body to die
for and a work ethic that won't quit. In a well-manicured
snap, she's gone from shampoo girl to director of
Houston's most exclusive spa. But this self-made woman is
about to come undone—because trouble just moved in
right next door.
Benjamin Harrington III is her new neighbor, and he's much
too close for comfort. His home renovations and opera CDs
are wrecking her sleep, and his slyboy seductive ways are
driving her mad with desire. Always in control, never
vulnerable, Delilah doesn't believe in that messy thing
called love. But when an unexpected bundle of joy arrives
on her doorstep, Delilah is forced to admit she needs some
neighborly help—and possibly an arrow from Cupid...
You know you're bad when:
- Your idea of dressing for success calls for a short
skirt, killer heels, and a thong.
- Your next-door neighbor is off-limits, and all you can
think about is having your way with him.
- You greet a man at the door wearing nothing but a
smile.
- You can't resist temptation... especially when it
comes in a buff package.
- Your prescription for your downtrodden assistant: Take
one studmuffin and call me in the morning.
But what can you do when being bad feels so good!
