Summary: three heated tales
Review: "My House, My Rules" by Lori Foster. Undercover cop Sam leaves a bar pretending to be intoxicated when a mugger attacks him. His brother's former girlfriend Ariel jumps the assailant. Irate Sam orders Ariel to take him home where she desperately offers him her body because she loves him. He cannot stop himself from making love with her, but is she a lasting treasure?"Going Down" by Donna Kauffman. Dominic visits the firm where Callie works. That night, they ride the elevator together when it stops between floors. No one else remains in the building. They discuss why her husband left her, a conversation that evolves into how to be provocative without even trying. Dominic explains that she is quite provocative to him. They make love but who knows what morning will bring. "A Fast Ride" by Nancy Warren. Gertie hates bikers so when she hears one coming, she moves a tree limb onto the road injuring the driver. Gertie's great niece Nell gives CPR to the unconscious man. He suffers amnesia and is surprised to learn he is a member of the nasty Hog Squad gang and thinks Nell is his girlfriend. They begin to fall in love, but both wonders what will happen when he regains his memory. BAD BOYS ON BOARD contains three heated tales starring relatively inexperienced women with men who score with the ladies more than the Raiders make touchdowns. Intended for the erotic crowd, each story includes plenty of hard sexual scenes (though two of couples met just before the "action" begins) within soft plots. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Bad Boys on Board
Review: Bad Boys on Board is an anthology by three of my favorite authors: My House, My Rules by Lori Foster; Going Down? by Donna Kauffman, and A Fast Ride by Nancy Warren. Talk about steamy! I loved all three. In "My House, My Rules", Ariel Mathers has decided to do whatever it takes to make policeman Sam Watson want her. Sam is extremely attracted to Ariel, but there's the little matter of a big age difference, not to mention the fact that he's sure his younger brother Pete is in love with Ariel. Sam is used to making the rules and being in control of his life. Ariel is throwing his world off-kilter. Luckily, Sam's family can be counted on to give them the occasional nudge in the right direction. My House, My Rules is a hot, fast-paced story. As soon as I finished the story, I was ready for a re-read! In "Going Down?" Callie Montgomery and Dominic Colbourne are trapped together in an elevator. Callie is a very hard-working personal assistant; Dominic is powerful business executive. In their everyday lives, they are two very different people. They don't come from the same kind of backgrounds, or share similar lifestyles. During their enforced intimacy in the elevator, they begin to learn things about themselves and each other, and discover that they may have more in common than they realized. This is a hot, erotic story of two people who explore and share their emotions, their feelings, and themselves. In Fast Ride, Gertrude Hopkins is tired of bikers racing down her street. She decides to do something about it - she blocks the road with a downed tree! Unfortunately, Wes isn't able to stop in time to avoid it. He goes flying off of his motorcycle, and hits his head. Nell Tennant, Gertie's great-niece, is sure Wes has lost his life. Luckily, he has only lost his memory. Since her great-aunt caused his injuries, Nell feels obligated to take care of Wes while he recovers from his injuries and amnesia. At least, she tries to convince herself that's the only reason! Nancy's story jumps right into the action from page one, and never lets up. Fans of all three authors are in for a treat with Bad Boys on Board. If you haven't read these authors before, don't be surprised it you find yourself hunting for their backlist titles!

Summary: Hot and bothered!
Review: Bad Boys on Board was a good combination of romance and sensuality and it is all thanks to the great stories of the three authors: Lori Foster, Nancy Warren, and Donna Kauffman. My House, My Rules was my favorite out of the bunch, and the reason I bought the book. Sam Watson was a cop working undercover when his youngest brothers ex-girlfriend tries to rescue him in a bungled undercover operation. Ariel has loved Sam almost since she first met him, and Sam has been fighting his attraction to her since the the first time they met. But, he thinks she is too young for him, being 24 to his 36. And, he doesn't want to hurt his youngest brother Pete, who he believes isn't over Ariel yet. After the bungled undercover operation, Sam takes Ariel to his house to get her fixed up a bit and the romance just takes off from there. She is willing to do anything to prove her love to Sam, even go by His Rules. They share a wonderful night together and Ariel is even more in love with Sam then the previous night. Sam too knows that he is in love with Ariel, but with the interference of younger brother Pete, the "relationship" falls apart and Sam has to convince Ariel that he is in it for the long haul. A thoroughly romantic book with great characters. Lori sets up middle brother Gil's story in this book too, or so it seems anyway. Going Down by Donna Kauffman was also a pretty good story. Callie is the executive assistant to a female executive and she devotes long hours to the company. Callie is asked to escort business associate Dominic Colbourne down to his car, but as they are going down the elevator, the power goes off and they are stuck together for the night. Some quite sexy things go on in that elevator and the two characters bare their souls to each other. They both have a lot of baggage that has prevented them from having a long term relationship. Though the sex in the elevator after only just meeting the guy seemed a little far fetched, it was nonetheless a good novella. Callie and Dominic were both characters who were well developed and interesting. Nancy Warren's story A Fast Ride was my least favorite of the three stories. I just didn't like the hero's reaction to the heroine at the end of the story. Nell rescues a motorcycle accident victim (Wes) and she pretends to be his girlfriend. Like I said, not my favorite story, but it wasn't horrible by any means. Bad Boys on Board was a good book all in all and I look forward to reading the next Bad Boys trilogy. These writers (especially Lori Foster and Donna Kauffman) seem to be getting better and better all the time.

Summary: Some like it HOT
Review: For fans of the Bad Boys series, this latest in the series may be a disappointment, but i think it is worth the purchase for lori foster's story alone. Bad Boys on Board is a 3 book anthology with writers' Lori foster, Donna Kaufman and Nancy Warren. Lori Foster's story (my house/my rules) is my favorite- telling the story of Sam and Ariel- Sam is a great hero. He is a cop trying to do the right thing and avoid his brother's girlfriend, despite his own feelings for her. Of course, Ariel has other ideas and what follows is a steamy read. I liked Donna Kaufman's story "Going Down" about 2 people trapped overnight in an elevator but was less impressed by Nancy Warren's story. "A Fast Ride"- was about an undercover agent who has amnesia after a motorcycle accident and is found by the heroine who nurses him back to health. All in all, the book was an enjoyable summer read- definately worth the purchase for those who enjoy the Bad Boy series and who are fans of Lori Foster's writing.

Summary: Foster & Kauffman Great - Warren So-So....
Review: FOSTER: I loved the characters in this story. Sam was arrogant, yet adorably so; very realistic personality. What kept his feelings for Ariel under wraps was her age - only 24, to his 36. I was glad the author didn't try to make Ariel a "mature-for-her-age" type woman. She left Ariel as she truly was, a delightful, spunky, vulnerable young woman who was young enough to still want to stomp her foot, yet old enough to know exactly what she wanted out of life. What a great story! KAUFFMAN: This story captivated me from the beginning. British mogul Dominic had it all; great looks, wealth, and good health. And he fell in love with Callie, an almost "mousy" woman, who had nothing really going for her except possibly her job, wherein she did most of the work without due compensation. Dominic was a very classy, elegant guy with great sex appeal. He was perfection, indeed. WARREN: For some reason, Wes and Nell's story didn't hold up to the first two stories. It was an okay read, but in no way did these characters and the story capture my attention.

Summary: More bad boys!
Review: I can't get enough of the bad boy series! Each anthology is full of wonderful and erotic surprises. Lori Foster's stories have been my favorites in all of the installments -- and this one's no exception.
In My House, My Rules, Foster tells the story of Ariel and Sam with a new brand of male naughty behavior all its own. This is rather unlike her previous stories, which all involved friends making a bet. Sam is one of the most insubordinate bad boys Foster's written thus far. I didn't want the story to end and left me begging for more -- so to speak.
Donna Kauffman's Going Down? is a not-holds-barred erotic romp about two people getting stuck in an elevator. What transpires is one of the steamiest stories ever written in the series. I read it in one sitting.
However, the anthology takes a rapid spin toward disappointment with Nancy Warren's A Fast Ride. Warren's writing isn't as provocative and engrossing as Foster's and Kauffman's, and the story development is rather slow. I wish Janelle Denison had been included in this series -- she's one of the best writers of this genre. Are you in the bargain for sheer erotic escapism? Pick up Bad Boys on Board, but also be sure to pick up the others from this outstanding series.

Summary: happy endings never had such a hot journey
Review: I enjoyed all three stories. Perhaps I am a little naive or sheltered but I am new to the genre and blushed through the entire book. Of course, I never stopped reading no matter how red I got. I will continue to read these authors and this genre.

Summary: I read all by Lori Foster and this was a good one
Review: I got this book for Lori Foster's story and it ended up that I liked all of the stories here. Lori's was the best, but all were very good. I like these collections because I find new writers to try and enjoy. Hopefully there will be another of these Bad Boy collections soon.
