Review: Restless Nights (Harlequin Temptation #639) BLAZE by Tiffany White

Victoria Stone's erotic daydreams about a sexy gunslinger seemed harmless enough -- until Zack De Luca came along. Not even in her wildest fantasies had she pictured responding so brazenly to a perfect stranger. Even worse, she was engaged to his best friend! But Zack was her desperado incarnate.

Things got totally out of control when Victoria's fiance insisted Zack take his place and accompany her on a holiday ... visiting a ghost town. Her world spun out of control as fantasy and reality collided in the heat of the restless night. She had the chance to live out her fantasies, but did she have the courage?

Review: Summary: Victoria Stone's erotic daydreams about a sexy gunslinger seemed harmless enough -- until Zack De Luca came along. Not even in her wildest fantasies had she pictured responding so brazenly to a perfect stranger. Even worse, she was engaged to his best friend! But Zack was her desperado incarnate.

Things got totally out of control when Victoria's fiance insisted Zack take his place and accompany her on a holiday ... visiting a ghost town. Her world spun out of control as fantasy and reality collided in the heat of the restless night. She had the chance to live out her fantasies, but did she have the courage?

This is a fairly generic addition to the Temptation Blaze line. As with most Blaze, the erotic scenes in this installment are steamy and imaginative. And the hero, Zack ... whew! White does a good job of describing what amounts to the world's steamiest, sexiest man.

Unfortunately, the rest of the storyline is fairly tepid. Victoria's character isn't very well-sketched out, and the development of the "romance" is anemic and without real emotional basis. In addition, Zack's about-face on his opinion of Victoria is bewilderingly sudden.

In addition, White throws in a ghostly plot. The love scenes involving the ghosts are an interesting addition, but they aren't linked all that well into the plot. Throw in Victoria's incredibly lame excuse for a fiance, and the whole thing lacks cohesion.

There are better sexy steamy romances out there.
