"a wonderful beginning to a steamy mini-series"

Book 1: Single in the South Beach

Brianna is trying to return some order to her life and get everything back on track after her stepfather and his partners embezzled money from the club they owned, then skipped town. The last thing she wanted was for FBI agent Aidan Maddock to return to town and stir up things best left in the past.

Agent Maddock had tried to put Brianna's stepfather behind bars years before and failed. Armed now with tons of evidence, he merely had to wait for Melvin to show up. And he knew that he would, it was just a matter of time.

Until then, Aidan planned to renew his acquaintance with now grown-up Brianna. Her teenage crush on him years before still fired his sexual imagination. He remembered vividly every fantasy eighteen-year-old Brianna had shared in her campaign to seduce him.

Brianna is just as determined to forget the way she had thrown herself at Aidan.

With nothing to do but wait, the sexual tension builds until finally fantasies -- past and present -- are fulfilled.

SEX AND THE SINGLE GIRL is without a doubt Joanne Rock's hottest Blaze to date. There is one scene where Aidan seduces Brianna, acting out her ultimate fantasy, which completely sizzles. Most definitely spontaneous combustion -- of the good, sexy kind.

The sensual heat of Ms. Rock's writing promises that the 3 Blazes and 2 Temptations to continue this series will make air conditioning during the winter months necessary, regardless of where you are located.

Summary

Brianne Wolcott is back in town as co-owner of the hottest singles resort to hit South Beach. And her past is here to greet her in the form of Aidan Maddock. A lifetime ago she had a schoolgirl crush on the sexy FBI agent. But she is so over him now...or is she? The way her pulse reacts when he's around suggests that she still has a thing for Aidan. Well, fine. She'll have her one night with him and that's that. Too bad her libido insists that one night is not enough.

Aidan used up all his resistance to Brianne when he sent her away years ago. No surprise, then, that the sight of a very grown-up Brianne makes him forget all the reasons he refused...especially when she offers to act out the fantasies she'd once whispered in his ear. But she's in for a surprise. Because once they hit the sheets, he's not walking away...ever!
