This is a fun book ...

Hot on Her Tail by Karen Anders Harlequin Blaze # 43 - June 2002 Austin is a giver. He sacrifices his dreams and his needs to make sure his sister; mother and grandmother are well taken care of. Maxie's always been a free spirit; a taker. Her sister is always coming to her rescue. Now Maxie's in way over her head; charged with a crime she didn't commit, and Austin is the bounty hunter who takes the job of bringing her in. Maxie just needs more time so that her friends can find the evidence to prove she's been framed. This is a fun book ... you gotta feel for poor Austin. He may be sexy and strong, but he's no match for Maxie's determination to escape. Not only do the sparks fly between these two, but they both learn from each other. Austin that he needs to lighten up and live a little, and Maxie that she needs to take responsibility and put down some roots. I'm sure I'll be reaching for this one again and again

Bail, handcuffs and tattoos -- Highly recommended

Bounty hunter Austin Taggart recognizes trouble in the breathtaking photo of his skip. Indeed, his instinct warns him against taking this case, but his sister's need for tuition money motivates him to accept anyway. Francesca "Maxie" Maxwell ostensibly embezzled a million dollars from the bank where she was a manager. All he has to do is pick her up, bring her back to Sedona and collect his paycheck. With his tracking skills, the job should only take a day or two. As soon as he sees the delicate pixie in person, Austin knows his instincts had been right. His inconvenient hormones threaten his flawless record for bringing in skip traces. No matter how many times she escapes or how attractive he finds her, Austin remains hot on her tail.Maxie's ability to handle the raucous customers at the Lucky Star proves her resourcefulness, yet the reader has to wonder at her reasons for repeatedly returning to the same place knowing Austin will follow. Her own upscale bar called Firecrackers that she intends to partner with her sister sharply contrasts the motorcycle bar, yet Maxie delights in its unusual patrons with their hearts of gold. She intends to lay low just long enough for a computer guru/friend to prove her innocence or for the liquor license for Firecrackers to go through. After all, her sister provided financial backing for the club, and Maxie intends to make her investment profitable to pay back for all the times her sister has stood by her. Author Karen Anders brings a gift for vividly realizing a fun story in HOT ON HER TAIL. Memorable characters and naughty handcuffs lend the novel breathtaking intensity. Austin's ethnic background and devotion to family gives him strong motivation and sensual appeal. Indeed, his dangerous, lethal aura makes him every woman's fantasy. Maxie's determination and resourcefulness likewise makes her incredibly appealing. Secondary characters are also fascinating. Star Dupree, bartended and owner of the Lucky Star where Maxie waitress proves herself both a loyal friend and a formidable woman. Indeed, the former motorcycle momma's bar provides an unusual focal point where Maxie repeatedly returns. Further, the moral and ethical dilemmas that Maxie and Austin face as they both try to honor their family responsibilities gives the novel strong motivation. HOT ON HER TAIL comes highly recommended.
