Summary: heated romance
Review: Attorney Eileen Connolly wants one night of wild sex before she marries her boyfriend, a nice but conventional person. She knows that she will never taste blood-curdling heart pumping sex with her fiancé though she respects and cares for him. Eileen decides she needs one night of passion that a reader can find in Harlequin Romance novels imprinted with Blaze ironically like this novel is. That one last night will have to last a lifetime, but which stranger can she trust and find ardent desire?The telephone repair guy Shane Nichols arrives at Eileen's office to fix the phones. Eileen sees this hunk as the answer to her sexual sweet tooth. However, after a night in the sack with a seven-layer victory layer cake, can a plain donut be enough to satisfy Eileen's passion for more of Shane's cream filled bell? Though Eileen asking for Shane to fulfill her fantasy is unsafe sex, once recognized by fans they step past that questionable pick-up and will enjoy the heat of the tale. The story line is as hot as a novel gets as the two protagonists spend a blazing evening together that burns the respective brands on one another. Readers (and their fortunate significant others) who appreciate torrid love scenes that make the equator seem frozen will take great delight at any hour with AFTER HOURS. Harriet Klausner

Summary: WOW! She does it again......
Review: Eileen fulfills that career woman fantasy of getting her real life Diet Coke guy/ blue collar hunk for a sex only thrills and chills affair- to find out after making whoopy in the back of his work van that he owns the telecon company that he works for and was filling in for his installer when she spotted him in her office.......
Shane is a doll- Eileen is confused and bored with the status quo - both characters and their feelings are well drawn out and identifiable- these two shake up each other and their lives in a hot Phoenix romance. Where was this guy when I was slaving over hot concrete in heels in the Phoenix sun 10 years ago when I lived there? Oh yeah- he hadn't been written yet....
I love Ms. Lewis- Thompson and her Blaze books are amongst the best! From back of book:
For years, levelheaded lawyer Eileen Connolly has been fighting a reckless craving - for sex with a stranger. Well, it's now or never. She's about to commit to her boyfriend - a decent guy who's as irresistible as an unglazed doughnut. All she wants is one wild, adventurous night. After that, she'll be ready to settle into predictability. Then gorgeous Shane Nichols shows up at Eileen's office to fix the phones. In his tight jeans and tool belt, he's a walking, talking, chocolate-glazed, cream-filled éclair. And suddenly one night doesn't seem like enough to satisfy Eileen's craving for something so wickedly delicious....

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: This book has a not bad story line that pretty much sets it up for a lot of fantasy sex. But for me it always seems that an author's idea of fantasy sex is not really mine. So most of the time it comes off alittle flat. For example, one of the sex fantasies in this book was to have sex in a cabin in the woods. That just seems a little ho-hum to me. But the scene in the restaurant was ooh-la-la! There are four different fantasies in this book so I would think that at least one should appeal to most everyone.

Summary: H-O-T
Review: This book is definitely HOT! In fact, it may even be too hot for some. The scenes are pretty descriptive and the two characters have a very rich imagination. The basic premise is that Eileen (a lawyer) wants one night of wild sex with a stranger before settling down into marriage with her boyfriend. Enter Shane (a telephone rep) who is her stranger not just for one night, but a week of nights. This book isn't going to win any prizes for plot development and storyline, but for what it is (a Harlequin Blaze), it's worthy of 5 stars for sure. The author manages to make the storyline flow realistically, and you don't really feel like you're reading one of those "cheesy" romance books. There is comedy and heart in this book, and a lot of heat!

Summary: Vicki Lewis Thompson at her best -- Very highly recommended
Review: With her very staid boyfriend out of the country for the week, Eileen Connolly wants to fulfill her most secret fantasy. She wants sex with a rugged, dark stranger - a man she would never have to see again before she commits to a life time of stability. With her darkest desires fulfilled, Eileen thinks she could accept Benjamin's proposal and move in with him. But rather than finding her fantasy man in a bar somewhere, Eileen unexpectedly encounters him in her office after hours installing telephone lines. He is everything she wants: single, footloose and fancy free and not the kind of guy like her boyfriend whose life is run by business. Doing an installation rather than soothing irritable clients brings Shane Nichols a sense of satisfaction. His life is a mess owning a company that controls his every moment, so working with his hands brings a sense of accomplishment he had almost forgotten. He has been fantasizing about the blond lawyer in this office since the first time he caught a glimpse of her, so when she suddenly appears with a proposition, he accepts. But Shane wants more than one episode of fabulous sex. Now he wants to convince Eileen that he is the man she needs for permanence. AFTER HOURS is author Vicki Lewis Thompson at her best with a hot plot, sizzling characterizations and sensuality that leaves fans begging for more. On one hand, Eileen's determination to limit their relationship quickly gives way to something more, and she does not belittle nor denounce her involvement with the telephone installer, even when caught red handed. On the other hand, Shane's determination to be loved for he is not for what he is strikes a sympathetic cord that earns instant forgiveness for his mild deception. AFTER HOURS is a daring fantasy of sex with a stranger that could easily slip into shallow or dangerous, but, with Thompson's skillful pen, this tale sidesteps the obvious and becomes something intriguing and fun. AFTER HOURS comes very highly recommended.
