| Lab geek Claire doesn't get out much and dating doesn't happen so when her co-workers drag her out to a club to celebrate, she is totally out of her element. Claire ends up resisting her nasty and drunk boss Gordon's unwanted advances with the help of a hunky bouncer named Ed. Her blossoming relationship is tested when she learns her boss plans on falsifying research data to win a grant and Claire threatens to reveal the truth to the board. Framed and on the run Claire is forced to rely on Ed to keep her safe but he has a secret of his own. Ed and Claire's relationship heats up even as the intensity and danger grows. Now the lovers have to clear Claire's name and keep Ed out of the governments hands and time is running out.
Once again, the delightfully talented author Katie Allen displays her infectiously wicked sense of humor enchanting her audience. Readers know when they open a book by this author they are in for a deliciously romantic and laugh-out-loud tale with a flawless blend of spice to captivate. Experimenting with Ed hits the mark, right on. The characters shine like a ray of perfection, the romance sparks like high voltage and the action sizzles with madness and mayhem creating a not-to-be-missed story. Originally refreshing Claire is intoxicating with her sassy, brave and intelligence while Ed is simply captivating with his sensitive, sexy and matter-of-fact personality and together these two create some deliciously sensual love scenes that are sure to please. The reader can't help but be swept away by the instantaneously perceived connection between Claire and Ed. The supporting characters work wonderfully enhancing the action as well as the hero and heroine. The ending might be a let down for some readers looking for lots of suspense but even that minor issue doesn't take away from this fantastic story. After being introduced to Ed's dangerously sexy friend Darwin I am eagerly anticipating the second book in this new and wonderful series from Ms. Allen.
