"This Blaze is blazing!"

Harlequin has definitely named these "Blaze" books correctly! This book is blazing hot and is definitely one that will have you squirming in your seat!

Ariana Karas has just been ordered by her Uncle Stefano to take a week's vacation from her job as manager of the restaurant he owns while it's being renovated in order for Ariana to completely take it over. Ariana finally agrees and on the streetcar ride to the restaurant for her last night of work before her vacation, she decides it may be time to have a hot affair during that week she's off. She finds an intriguing magazine on the streetcar that describes sexy city nights in San Francisco.

Maxwell Forrester is getting married but his best friend Charlie talks him into one final drink for the road. Charlie is also the bride's cousin. What Max doesn't know is he's being set up by Charlie and his bride-to-be, Madelyn. Madelyn wants Charlie to hold Max at the restaurant long enough for her to make her getaway. What Max, Charlie and Madelyn don't know is Max is also being set up by Madelyn's father. Someone slips something in Max's drink and when it's time for him to go home, Ariana has to help him out. What ensues when she gets him home is one of the most incredible nights of her life. The problem is he doesn't remember anything about it in the morning. Now it's up to Max and Ariana to figure out what's going on and who is setting them up. While they do, things get hot and heavy between them. When the week is over can they go back to being who they were before?

Whew, this was one hot, sexy book. The descriptive scenes had me turning up the air conditioning! I have put Julie Elizabeth Leto on my auto-buy list and I am eagerly looking forward to more books in the Sexy City Nights series!
