Summary: Lori Foster does it again
Review: As a rule, I will read anything with Lori Foster's name on it. I wasn't disappointed with this one either. This is the story of a modern woman, not afraid to speak her mind, but who still doesn't fall in bed with everyone wearing pants... or not wearing pants?? Anyway, the story is quirky without being kinky. If you are a Foster fan, you'll enjoy this book. If you haven't read Lori's stuff before, this will probably make you a fan.

Summary: Very Disappointed!!!
Review: I am a big Lori Foster fan but I found this book a huge disappointment. I found the heroine ditsy and not very bright. The story itself was just so-so. I just know Lori is capable of better.

Summary: Not her best, but still worth pcking up
Review: Sex Appeal is an engaging book, with Ms.Foster's trademarked humor and steamy love scenes, but I felt teased and frustrated with the suspense elements that never fully developed. The sense of menace from the stalker built nicely, only to wind up a throwaway plotpoint, and just when I expected things to get tense and dangerous, the story just skipped over it. Ms. Foster can write good suspense, so I wonder why she left it like this, perhaps she felt constrained by the length restrictions, and should have blown this out into a 400p single title? Other than the heroine acting like a complete ditz when being stalked, and the resolution of the stalker storyline a bit dull, the love story was excellent. Still a worthy read, and an amusing story.

Summary: Sex Appeal by Lori Foster
Review: Shadow Callahan needs to find 10 guys to enter in the sexiest man contest. Fate steps in when Brent Bramwell, falls in front of her window in front of her shop. Sex Appeal features all kinds of interesting "stuff". Brent never thought he would be drawn to someone like Shadow. He always was in control and realised after meeting Shadow that his life was a little too much in control. It is only fitting that Sex Appeal is being used to launch the new HEAT line, since it provides alot of HEAT. Sex Appeal is wonderful. Brent and Shadow are a classic Lori Foster couple and you get to visit a couple of old friends as well. Hurry and get this book, because it will surely fly off the shelves.

Summary: A winner
Review: When Brent Bramwell first saw Shadow Callahan through her store's window, he was so taken aback that he forgot about the ice and slipped. She helps him as he admits that he suffered no physical injuries, but his psyche is a bit embarrassed. Brent learns that Shadow is the proprietor of Sex Appeal, a novelty shop dedicated to having fun. She asks him to be one of her ten representatives in the Southwatch Mall's sexiest man contest with the winner receiving several nice prizes. Brent delays his response and obtains a lunch date with Shadow. Brent continues to see Shadow, but fails to inform her that he is the owner of the company that leases her mall space. Brent wants someone to want him and not his money. When a stalker becomes increasingly dangerous and threatening Shadow, Brent knows he has found love because he will do anything to keep his beloved Shadow safe. However, he worries about her reaction when she learns who he is. SEX APPEAL is an entertaining contemporary romance with a side order of suspense. The story line is fun especially when it concentrates on the relationship between Brent and Shadow. However, the stalking subplot though well written and clearly integrated into the central core of the tale still feels like an unnecessary add-on to a novel fostering the concept of enjoying a relationship.

Summary: Everything I want in a romance book
Review: When I buy a book by Lori Foster, I know I'm going to get a steamy sizzling love story with a healthy dose of humor thrown in. SEX APPEAL gives me all that and more. Shadow Callahan had Brent Bramwell falling at her feet. Literally. When he loses his footing outside her little shop, little did he know he'd later lose his heart to the unconventional lady wearing a sweatshirt that warned, "You've been a bad boy. Go to my room." Shadow is need of a man. Well, three. That's the number she has left to recruit for her part in the strip mall's Love and Laughter contest and she'd bound and determined to enlist Brent. Brent, on the other hand, is just as adamant about refusing. Not only does he own the strip mall(unbeknownst to Shadow) but entering a Hunk contest is not something a businessman of his stature does. But he doesn't stand a chance against Shadow's determination, especially when he finds himself falling for her romantically. There's trouble brewing, though, when Shadow finds herself being stalked by a man who's insistent that *he* is the one for her. Anonymous phone calls give way to more sinister events, causing Brent to fear for her life. He takes steps to keep her safe, but Shadow bridles at what she sees as his controlling nature. Throw in Brent's snooty ex-girlfriend and his equally snooty parents, add Ms. Foster's sizzling love scenes and the reader is in for a story with more steam than a sauna. Shadow is a woman who can hold her own, whether in the bedroom or restaurant. I applauded her attitude and outlook on life and felt she and Brent were quite well-matched. Lori Foster continues to shine for Harlequin Temptation and I'm looking forward to her first single title for Harlequin, CAUGHT IN THE ACT, coming in September.

Summary: Very Appealing!
Review: Wow - Lori Foster certainly knows how to thrill her readers with a steamy romance! Here, Brent Bramwell and Shadow Callahan fall (almost literally) for each other and they are truly a delightful couple with her free-spirited honesty a perfect foil to Brent's more rigid and professional attitude. I did find myself wanting to yell at them occasionally - when you are being stalked you don't do anything alone - aaarrgh!!! But other than a couple of obvious plot devices, this was a lovely story about two charming people. I recommend this as a fun afternoon read with your favorite beverage and munchies!!
