Customer Reviews

Bas and Micki-SPOILERS

Favorite scene with Micki- Getting the info. they need on their friend's captor. She is one tough cookie. Very street smart and street wise. She got what the others couldn't. Favorite scene with Bas- At his most vulnerable-not wanting to let her go. When he said I'll miss you. Together- Rescuing their friend from a not so evil dudette. What did you like about Micki- Although not a typical like, I liked her because of the way she grew up-on the streets. Rarely is a BLAZE heroine a druggie and although not a prostitute, close to it. It made her seem more emotionally real. She wanted to get off the streets, and did so. She helped her friend in need. She wanted to make something of her life. She was a tough cookie. She was street smart and street wise. What didn't you like about Micki- When she felt like she needed to use sex to get what she wanted. What did you like about Bas- His love for Micki. For his sister. For his friend. You could count on him. He overcame his childhood dramas to become very successful, although he didn't let anyone get close. Except Micki. What didn't you like about Bas- There wasn't anything I didn't like about Bas. Casting Micki, I'd cast Mira Sorvino. Casting Bas, I'd cast Julian McMahon.

A sensual feast ? Highly recommended

Micki Carmichael ran away from home when she was sixteen, finding motivation to remain on the streets for the last five years while she looked after her friend Danielle. While Micki had been close to cleaning up her bad habits and reconciling with her family, Danielle had just escaped a family that substituted material possessions for love. Now Danielle is going to drug rehab thanks to Micki's intervention. Meanwhile, Danielle has orchestrated an unusual thank you, arranging for her previously distant brother to provide a week long fantasy for Micki.Feeling guilty for not being aware of his younger sister's brothers, Bas falls into her plans for Micki fairly easily. After all, Micki basically saved Danielle's life. With unlimited funds and a commitment to pleasure, he arranges a marvelous week for them to explore the possibilities of Micki's fantasy. Unfortunately, neither one of them suspect that someone watches, and danger will escalate until it becomes obvious that someone wants to get to Bas by attacking those people he holds most dear. A lively and entertaining read, UP TO NO GOOD showcases Julie Elizabeth Leto's usual talent for sensual storytelling. While the sizzle definitely satisfies, the taut plotting keeps the tale moving. Readers who had eagerly awaited Micki's story will discover a fascinatingly complex character. Her savvy flair and unexpected vulnerabilities certainly capture both the reader's and Sebastian's heart. A study of opposites, Micki and Sebastian has more in common than what might be immediately obvious. Their insecurities and lack of self-esteem not only level the playing field but also bring them together in unexpected ways. Provocative, romantic and fun, UP TO NO GOOD comes highly recommended.

The second is books about twin sister sizzles!

Leto gives us the second tale of two about twins: women with the same face, but inside they are opposites. In June 2003, # 92 Blaze's - LOOKING FOR TROUBLE, we met the first side of the mirror in Rory Carmichael. She was the "nice girl" who wanted to shake loose from that image and find all the thrills of being just a wee bit wicked. She also wanted to find her long lost twin sister, Micki, who ran away when she was fifteen. In UP TO NO GOOD, August 2003 Blaze's #100, we take that turn of the screw and meet the "bad girl" sister who would like to be oh so good! Now the proud possessor of the Sexcapades book - a gift from Rory - Micki holds the key to make her fantasies come true. The book worked to help Rory find Mr. Right, so she hopes it will carry on and bring her sister the same magic. It's a special book, sort of a Aladdin's Lamp of 1001 adventures guarantee to spice up any romance. Each adventure is on a perforated page so you can tear them out and present them to your lover. You won't know precisely what the sexual fantasy is, because each one is sealed and you are not to open it until you are ready to use them, this way maintaining the spontaneity. I think Leto needs to write Sexcapdes for real and sell it, certain to be a bestseller and make her a tidy fortune!Micki is a brassy, very down to earth woman who has faced the world and its harsh realities on her own. Unable to endure the oppressive restrictions of being raised by her strict grandmother, she fled small town life and the overbearing guardian, leaving her twin, Rory, behind at the age of fifteen. Now 10 years later they reunite. Rory gives her a place to crash and a chance at a good job. Micki wants to face a bright future for a change instead of just struggling to survive, but first, she must put her past in order. Soon after running away, Micki hooked up with a teen on the street, Danielle, and this young woman filled that hole in her life, taking the place of Rory. Danielle kept Micki grounded; Micki kept Danielle alive through fighting the girls addictions. Micki is delivering Danielle to Sebastian Stone in Paris. The multimillionaire is more than willing to accept care of his sister, Danielle, see she gets good doctors in hopes of kicking her drug habits.Danielle's much older brother also ran away from home, but instead of living a harsh existence as Micki did, he went to College at 16 and by his 21st birthday was a millionaire in his own right! Danielle's very rich parents had time and again washed their hands on the druggie daughter. When Micki found Danielle overdosed again, she rushes her to hospital. The doctor advises that unless Danielle get intensive care, she would be dead before reaching her 21st birthday. In desperation, Micki contacted Sebastian, who agrees to step in to help his younger sister.Though Micki loves Danielle's, she is tired of playing guardian angel, and just wishes to "play", and sexy Sebastian suits her fantasies completely.
