Her friend Jennifer's charity bachelorette auction is just the thing to bring things to a head.
I have always liked the Jump Zone series and am glad this one was rereleased, as I never got to read this one. Laura is a very sympathetic character and I loved her spunk in dealing with the thickheaded Blake. I liked Blake in spite of himself, and Matt and Jennifer are excellent supporting characters. Jennifer's sneaky personality especially. The plot is engrossing and the love scenes well done, as usual. Ms. Jones sure packs alot of story into a small package.
