Summary: Hopelessly Attracted!
Review: I could not put this book down. First, there's the great description that Lori Foster offers, and then there's the steamy romance undertoning the whole story. Mick and Del are quite the couple. The attraction felt on both sides is just leaping from the pages. I loved the fact that the main point of view is the Mick's. Most romance books have some male insight, but the stories usually come from the female's point of view. The only thing I didn't like was when Mick was faced with a new dilema, he didn't find out try to ask Del, but jumped to conclusions instead and ended up hurting her. Overall, a great book to curl up with.

Summary: Fantastic!!!!!!!!!
Review: I couldn't wait to read this story after reading Angel & Danes & Celia & Alex's stories. Mick Dawson, who was a teenager in the previous books & also at one time was Angel's & Alex's landlord. In this one its been a few years since those stories & Mick is an undercover cop.
He has been watching Delilah since she moved into the apartment building next to the one he owns. She intruiges him. While sitting in a cafe one day he sees Del enter a jewellry shop & follows her in when the place is robbed.
After saving her life & getting shot in the process, Del takes him home. Del has some very questionable friends who help her with her work. She writes murder books. She has a very dangerous way of researching her stories. She does the stunts she writes about.
She is implicated in the robbery by one of the men involved . And Mick believes him. He has Del bought in for questioning, which doesn't go down to well considering how they both feel about each other.
The ending was pure novel, straight out of one of her books.

Summary: Sheesh
Review: I don't usually give books 1 star because I usually enjoy everything I read to SOME degree but gosh! The more I read this book the more I found myself not liking it. Sure, it was fun to read at first- wondering how the main characters would get together but not long after that I just stopped caring. I didn't read the first books that this must have come out of so I didn't really care for this one but somehow I managed to finish it. I wish I'd been as smart as the reader from Los Angeles who got a refund for hers!

Summary: This book was great!
Review: I loved this story. I am a huge fan of Ms. Foster and when I get one of her books, I lock myself in the bedroom until I've read it cover to cover! The chemistry between Mick and Del is HOT!! She is a great heroine, strong, funny, kind-hearted. I totally recommend this book!

Summary: New Lori Foster Fan!
Review: I really liked this book. I gave it to a friend to read first and she also enjoyed it. The heroine was energetic and fun. The hero was the typical alpha male (my personal favorite type of guy). There are also some very good secondary characters. I gave this book 4 stars because it lacked the one essence I thought it really needed, deep all consuming love. I didn't really feel it. Yet, overall the book was good and the sex scenes were excellent.

Summary: OK read - typical Foster fare
Review: I think this may be my last Lori Foster book and my last contemporary for a while (I prefer historicals anyway). After reading a couple, they all start to sound the same, indistinguishable one from another - except for the terrific Too Much Temptation which I thought was great. Admittedly, I did not read any of the prior books containing any of the secondary characters - Angel & Dane, Alec & Celia, Zack and Josh - so to me they just seemed like a crowd of extras that were hard to keep straight.As for the romance, well in typical Foster style, the couple, who know virtually nothing about each other, wind up in love and married within like a month of meeting! This was sort of acceptable in the short stories of The Winston Brothers, but in every novel it borders on silly. Though Mick was a nice guy, he didn't really do that much for me. Nor was I particularly fond of Del. Bottom line, I didn't care that much about this couple or their relationship - the kiss of death for a romance novel! If you are a Foster fan, you will probably like this book. If you are new to her, I recommend Too Much Temptation or The Winston Brothers instead. As for my opening statement, I might have to reconsider if Joe Winston gets his own story. He sounded intriguing.

Summary: Josh and Zacks stories are much better!!!
Review: I was very disappointed in Lori Fosters story of Mick and Del. This was very far fetched and I would go has far as to call it silly at times. I absolutly love Lori Foster but this book was not that good. "Mr. November," the story of Josh and "Treating her right," the story of Zack are much better and more believable. I hate to give Lori Foster two points because i usually love her books but this is a dud!

Summary: Wishes do come true!
Review: I'm one of the many devoted fans of Lori Foster's books, and have been waiting (non too patiently!)to read her first, longer-length contemporary CAUGHT IN THE ACT. No disappointments here! Lori's very special talent in mixing humor, great plots, and the hottest love scenes, came shining through in this book. MICK, is a hero to die for!(ah, to have a guy like him!), and the heroine, DELILAH, is his match in every way. There's a tense mystery as the plot, and keeps you turning pages. There's the instant heat that sizzles between Mick & Del. And there's Lori's "special hot love scenes" that threaten to melt you. Of course, by the end of the book you're already bemoaning the fact that it "just WASNT long enough"! You'll also get to greet old friends from Lori's previous books WANTON and BEGUILED. And meet new heroes, ZACK and JOSH, that I guarrantee will have you IMPATIENTLY waiting for their stories! All in all, Lori has a best seller with CAUGHT IN THE ACT, that devoted fans will devour, and new fans will become addicted to!

Summary: Get caught reading this book.
Review: In *Caught in the Act*, Lori Foster's first single title, we re-visit old friends from previous books and are introduced to a couple more who will get their own stories in the upcoming months. But the main focus is on Mick Dawson, undercover cop, and Delilah ('Call me Del') Piper, mystery writer. After Mick has spent a couple of weeks longingly watching Del jog each morning, he finally works up the nerve to introduce himself'only to get caught in a botched jewelry story holdup. While trying to protect Del, Mick is seriously injured and when he needs some nursing, Del volunteers. There's something about Mick that attracts Del and rather than question the sanity of taking this stranger home with her, she goes with her instincts. Mick improves and the sexy writer drives him to the brink of insanity with her attention to his most basic needs. They forge a bond that gets stronger as the story goes on, so when Mick discovers that the robbery wasn't the usual sort of heist and that someone is out to kill Del, he turns from lover to fierce protector. His resolve is strengthened when they learn someone is watching every move they make, especially their bedroom moves.
Before the story ends, near tragedy forces both to re-examine what their relationship means to each of them and where they go from that point on. *Caught in the Act* reunites Mick with Dane and Angel Carter from *Beguiled*, Alec and Celia Sharpe from *Wanton*, and introduces Zack Grange and Josh Marshall. In addition to being a hot romantic story, this book is a return to the brotherhood of male friends as found in the Buckhorn Brothers series and which this author does so well. The camaraderie touches your heart and the interaction and banter amongst this tight knit circle of males is what makes this book a keeper. I'm looking forward to Zach in *Treat Her Right* and Josh in *Mr. November*, both released later this year.
