Sometimes Fate provides more than subtle hints...

Penny Halloran has been dating Martin for three months and even though the physical side of their relationship has not gone beyond good night kisses at the door and hand holding he has asked her to marry him. Martin is in his thirties now, wants to have children before he is too old to enjoy them, and thinks that he and Penny make a good team. Penny agrees they are well suited to each other, but as she mulls over her answer she also realizes that sex is important to her as well and before she says yes or now she wants to find out if she and Martin are sexually compatible. Knowing that Martin was going out of town the next day Penny, who owns a sandwich shop with her sister, sends him a note with his sandwich that reads: "Meet me tonight. Ten o'clock. Corner of Fourth and Walnut. And be ready for anything." Having even gone so far as to rent a limo, Penny intends to take Martin for a test drive. The dark interior of the back of the limo gives Penny the freedom to do "Something Wild" and that evening what happens exceeds her expectations. If she was going to make her decision based on how great the sex was then the answer is most definitely "yes." The only problem is that Martin has already left town and when Ryan Pierce, a new employee at the software company who is using the boss's computer while he is away find the sandwich and the note from Penny the Sandwich Girl from downstairs, he is surprised the shy young woman would hit on him like this and shocked after enjoying a session of wild sex in the back of the limo. However, when the voice in the dark declares her willingness to marry him, he has to draw the line.Toni Blake's "Something Wild" is one of "The Wrong Bed" stories in the Harlequin Temptation series, although, more accurately, this would be the wrong car.

However, the Fates are not yet down with Penny, because Martin gave Ryan her account and the two have to work together on constructing a software program for her business while Martin is gone. Clearly, Penny cannot marry Martin. Now, if she could only stop having fantasies about Ryan.

The nice thing is that they both think that this simple twist of fate means something more than a cosmic accident. In trying not to talk about what happen they end up talking about plenty of other things, building a real relationship, even while their minds keep drifting back to what they did and thinking ahead to what might happen. Ironically, Ryan thinks Penny is too "wild" for him, whi

Something Good in Something Wild

Did you ever have a fantasy that you wished to try out on your guy...but learn afterwards that you did it with someone else? Well, that is what happens to Penny Halloran in Toni Blake's newest book called SOMETHING WILD.Penny delivers sandwiches to the company that Ryan Pierce works for. Penny has been dating Ryan's boss, Martin, and Martin has asked Penny to marry him. Penny decides she wants to give him her answer by living a fantasy of hers...making love in a limo. However, the rendezvous note ends up in Ryan's sandwich and he thinks she is making a date with him. He shows up and a slightly tipsy Penny in a dark limo doesn't realize it. Afterwards, she is mortified to realize what she did, but definitely intrigued by Ryan. They get thrown together and begin to learn more about each other, and grow more attracted to one another. Ryan is eager to help Penny live her fantasies and Penny is eager to let Ryan. But in the background is Martin, Ryan's boss and potential future husband of Penny...Definitely a fun, light and sexy book with very likable characters that one can relate to. I found the book fast paced and a page-turner. Ms Blake used Penny's fantasies, but not with a heavy hand. It was not "sex with props" but the props were just a lead in to the love scenes. In the end, she resolved the triangle effectively and happily for everyone.I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters, and hope that she gets to write about the sister, Patti, and see more of Penny and Ryan.Toni Blake again has proven why she is a fast rising star for Harlequin who deserves a chance to write more books.

When Plans Go A-Rye

When Martin popped the question, finance Penny Halloran was a bit underwhelmed. Where was the zing? The sparkle? The omance?

Penny, part-owner of a restaurant, adds something extra to Martin's regular ham and Swiss on rye and it isn't an extra dollop of mayo. It's an anonymous, mysterious invitation to meet her later that evening on the corner near his building. Sounds promising? It is. Until the suggestive little note inadvertently falls into the hands of Ryan Pierce, Martin's newest employee. His curiosity piqued, Ryan decides to accept the invitation. What follows is a sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, but all-out sizzling love story of two people thrown together by error and how they come to terms with their attraction to each other in the face of obstacles in both their paths. Penny must deal with Martin's proposal and Ryan must deal with his vow not to mix business with pleasure. But obstacles get forgotten as attraction boils over into passion and the two must face Toni Blake gives her readers yet another reason to love romance. Her hero, Ryan. Here's a guy who very easily could have assumed the worst about Penny and made her life miserable. I really liked the way Ms. Blake crafted him and how his actions spoken much louder than his words. Ms. Blake is definitely an author to watch.
