"Hot and sexy!"

When Natalie Holcomb and Jake Lannister meet at the end of a party, after everyone else has gone home (well everyone except his friend Conrad and her friend Liza) they decide to go have coffee to give Liza and Conrad a little much needed privacy. While they are having their coffee one thing leads to another, and lust leads them out of the restaurant and into a hotel room. After a wonderful (and I do mean wonderful!) night of hot sex, Jake is reluctant to just let Natalie walk out of his life, so he slips her his itinerary and suggests that since they are each unattached and want to remain that way, and since they had such a good time, they should just agree to meet for hot sex whenever their schedules allow. This works well for them for a while, but each of them discovers a growing emotional attachment that is not wise, considering their agreement to stay uninvolved. Will one of them take the chance and confess his or her feelings, or will they just call the whole thing off and go their separate ways?

HER SECRET THRILL was a lot of fun to read. The story was exciting, with some really sizzling love scenes. It was a definite page-turner that I didn't want to put down. I enjoyed Natalie and Jake, and Ms. Kauffman had a way of letting me experience the emotional highs and lows of their new, fragile feelings of love as it developed and grew stronger. I highly recommend HER SECRET THRILL.

Summary

The proposal:
Get together whenever their heavy travel schedules overlap

Natalie Holcomb's impulsive and uncharacteristic night of steamy sex with a gorgeous stranger was supposed to be a one-time-only affair. But straitlaced Natalie is determined to play by the rules and get more of what her body is craving....

The ground rules:
Keep the relationship strictly sexual

Jake Lannister may live in another town, but after his incredible night with Natalie he just can't say goodbye. But when Jake's lust turns into something more, he's laced with an unfamiliar problem -- honor his rules and ignore his building emotions, or give up sex this good and risk losing what he has with Natalie?
