"Playing Doctor" by Lori Foster. Dr. Axel Dean likes self-assured, sensual, and sexy women in his bed.

She, on the other hand uses her role as a prim and proper teacher to disguise the fact that she may just give in to her attraction to her rescuer. "Hardhats and Silk Stockings" by HelenKay Dimon. Architect Whit Thomas wonders if God is punishing him by making him a modern day Job. He wants to make love to contractor Hannah Bridges, but she rejects his advances as she spends her time proving she is as good as the boys. Whit knows he must discuss the project with Hannah, but he can only think of making passionate love with her even if it means using the blueprints as a mat.

Fans of the series will enjoy these women enticing their hunks. Harriet Klausner

An All NEW Sizzling Anthology!!

Playing Doctor, by Lori Foster Nurse-to-be, Libby Preston has a plan. She aims to prove to her overbearing Uncle Edmond that she's a capable, intelligent woman who can hold her own and as soon as she does that, she plans to move on with her life and never look back, owing nothing. Then a dark-haired man with chocolate-brown eyes steps into her path and suddenly she can't think of anything but his sexy body and his expert touch. One kiss from playboy Axel Dean and Libby is nearly melting into a puddle at the good doctor's feet. And for the first time since her mother's death, Libby tosses caution to the wind and takes a chance with the handsome stranger. As it turns out, Libby discovers that beneath Axel's devil-may-care attitude is a heart of gold. **This story is a perfect beginning to what ended up being a pleasurable anthology. Mrs. Foster pulls you right into the heat, no pussyfootin' around! If you've enjoyed Lori Foster in the past, then you will appreciate the charming Axel Dean. He sure meets his match in Libby too. With these two characters there's not just sparks, there's a blaze! Lady Of The Lake, by Erin McCarthy Shy, backwards Violet Caruthers is so not having a good day. It all starts when she falls overboard and lands in the middle of Lake Erie. She hated dating and all that came with it, but she was desperate to have a baby, darn it! Otherwise, she never would have bothered wearing a miniscule bathing suit for a man who didn't even seem to know she existed. Things go from bad to worse, when her genius boyfriend, Frank, doesn't even notice that she was no longer in the boat with him, leaving her no choice but to sink or swim-literally. Then, just when she thinks all hope is lost, she's fished out of the murky water by a shirtless hunk of a man. Hmm, maybe things aren't so bad after all. Popular baseball player, Dylan Diaz, is fed up with being with women who only see dollar signs after his name. Just once, he would like to be with a woman who sees only him. Wants only him. Then he spots a dark head bobbing in the water and at first, he thinks he's run across a dead body. Then, as he fishes the bikini clad body out, he realizes two things real fast. First, the stacked brunette is about the sexiest thing he's ever laid eyes on and very much alive. Second, he's just been given a gift and he plans on unwrapping said gift...preferably with his teeth. **I especially enjoyed Violet. Her character was easy for me to relate to, but Ms. McCarthy always has characters that appeal to me. Ever since I picked up her book, "Bad Boys Online" I've been hooked! And even though ball players aren't usually my thing, I'm pretty darned sure I've changed my mind after having a taste of Dylan. Ladies, he's just too hot! Hardhats and Silk Stockings, by Helen K. Dimon Hannah Bridges is the most infuriating woman architect Whit Thomas has ever met - and the sexiest. If he could just get the tough contractor to stop proving herself at every turn, t

More wonderful bad boys!

PLAYING DOCTOR by Lori Foster When Dr. Axel Dean sees Libby Preston working for the caterer at a hospital dinner party, he sets out to have her. Libby is equally interested in Axel, and holds nothing back when they meet in a secluded section of the garden; until Axel finds out that she is totally inexperienced and halts the action so suddenly he practically left skid marks. Libby is furious. When they meet again, Axel discovers that Libby has every intention of finding a lover and decides that he wants her first lover to be him. Little does he know that an inexperienced, younger woman could touch him so deeply. Libby was forced to be independent at an early age and allowing someone to love her and take care of her is something new to her; convincing Libby that she needs him may prove difficult. Axel and Libby are adorable characters, and his tenderness towards her, given her inexperience, is especially moving. LADY OF THE LAKE by Erin McCarthy Violet Caruthers thought being accidentally dumped overboard from her boyfriend's boat was bad; things went from bad to worse when neither he nor any of his friends even realized that she was missing. Thankfully, Dylan Diaz comes along in his boat and saves her life. Despite their limited time together, Dylan wants nothing more than to make love to Violet. He thinks that her so-called boyfriend is an idiot for not appreciating her or recognizing the wonderful woman she is. Violet agrees to sleep with Dylan, but she has her own reasons; she doesn't think that she needs Dylan to have a continuing part in her life to be happy. Dylan wants a lifetime with Violet, but it isn't going to be easy convincing her that his feelings for her are true. Readers will be cheering for Violet and Dylan from the time he pulls her out of the water. HARDHATS AND SILK STOCKINGS by HelenKay Dimon Contractor Hannah Bridges is a woman working in a man's world; having to remain hardnosed so no one will try to take advantage of her femininity. Whit Thomas wants Hannah so badly but anytime he attempts to get close to her, sparks practically fly off of the insults she hurls at him. When Whit can't take anymore, he tricks her into spending time with him, determined to prove to her that there is great chemistry between them.

Hannah and Whit may be total opposites, but they are cleverly and satisfactorily brought together in this wonderful story.
