Revealed (Heat)

Rating:
Summary: lighthearted contemporary inferno
Review: Jackie Brady manages to eat based on what she makes as a Zing-O-Gram girl even while she dreams of one day composing children's music. Perhaps her head is in the clouds, but Jackie attends the wrong party dressed in a cat costume held together by duct tape. Jackie sings Happy Birthday with such a sexual overtone that it is a wonder that the recipient Greg De Costa does not have cardiac arrest.

Greg feels the passion that he wants to loosen and cannot resist a kiss that stuns both of them. However, when she lands on her two feet, Jackie realizes that Greg is the manager who will interview her tomorrow for a job. He simply believes he met a stripper. She plans to be professional that is musically, but Greg once he realizes she is serious about music wants more. As a duet they emit heat that turns into a fiery concerto.

The romance is fun as readers observe Greg struggle to overcome his first impressions caused by the initial misunderstanding. However, both act more like teens than adults so that the audience wonders whether this couple should form a duet, as someone needs to be the lead singer. Still fans of lighthearted contemporary infernos will alternate between amusement and fervor as this author rocks the music world.

Summary: Bold and hot! Very highly recommended
Review: When her bodacious rendition of Happy Birthday reveals more than she intends, Jackie Brady carries the situation with aplomb. While Zing-O-Gram had intended a stripper entertain the bar crowd, they were not disappointed. But Greg De Costa instinctively covers her with a tablecloth, realizing that the impromptu strip tease was not Jackie's intention.

Unfortunately, their chance encounter throws shadows on Jackie's motivations when her demo tape lands on Greg's desk. As the general manager of Station WBCI, he needs new talent to do voice-overs. But their sizzling encounter precludes a professional relationship. When he makes his reservations clear, Jackie declares it also precludes a personal one.

At odds, they agree to part ways, only to be brought together unexpectedly by one of Greg's clients who prefers wild jungle ways to the sedate job Jackie originally applied for. Worse, the client demands that Greg oversee the project. Perhaps it is time for Jackie to find out if the superstition is true that an artist can only achieve her best when she has experienced the ultimate passion.

Author Joanne Rock has a gift for sizzling amusement, as she once again vividly displays in REVEALED. Whether dressed in a cat suit or in a leopard bikini, Jackie's determination to succeed never flags. A self made man, Greg knows what it takes to succeed as well, and fills the role with a sophistication that carefully masks his rough beginnings. They both know that Jackie's impulsivity guarantees an impossible relationship, yet their fabulous chemistry draws them together again and again. A quirky, amusing romp, REVEALED comes very highly recommended.
