Kelsey Kyle has worked for a while at the Masquerade Hotel
and Casino in Las Vegas. She's good, and she knows getting
a
promotion is only a matter of time. The extra money will
help pay for her mother's medical bills. The Romance Lovers
Convention, a book convention, is taking place at the
hotel, and Kelsey is ecstatic to learn one of her
favourite romance authors is attending: Micah Holmes.
Better
yet, she's assigned as his personal concierge, and best of
all, the sparks fly right upon meeting him. Unfortunately,
fraternization between employees and the guests is punished
with immediate dismissal. Furthermore, Kelsey's boss asks
her to get an important guest a one-on-one with an
influential client, and if she manages this, that hoped-for
promotion is Kelsey's for the taking.
Robin Covington knows how to keep her readers on their
toes!
HER SECRET LOVER is a bit of a departure from her recent
books, in that the protagonists are not tortured
characters,
nor do they have difficult issues to overcome. HER SECRET
LOVER is beautifully written, as is always expected of Ms.
Covington, and Micah and Kelsey are two of the loveliest
characters I have ever read: they feel genuine, the have a
lot in common, the have real conversations, and they share
a
chemistry that jumps off the page. The flirtation
progresses
slowly until the heat can almost be felt through your e-
reader! Their story touched my heart; it felt as if my two
best friends were falling in love. There was one little
glitch though, which happens towards the very end; I'm not
crazy about how one issue was handled: I thought it was
"too
much, too late", I also felt one of the principals acted
out
of character. On the other hand, it was settled very
quickly
and it didn't drag the book down, and most important, it
didn't take anything away from this absolutely gorgeous
romance.
Forbidden fruit is always the sweetest. Kelsey Kyle will do whatever it takes to get into the management trainee program at the casino where she works. So when she’s given the opportunity to get a VIP customer’s endorsement for the program, she jumps at the challenge. All she needs to do is arrange a one-on-one fan experience with the woman’s favorite author, tall-dark-and-intense Micah Holmes. An entire week at a Vegas romance readers’ convention, surrounded by hundreds of people, is Micah Holmes’ idea of hell. But one look at Kelsey, his assigned hotel concierge, and the attraction is immediate. Maybe this week won’t be so bad after all... Anything beyond a “strictly professional” relationship will get Kelsey fired, but she needs to get close to Micah to get the super fan experience her client wants. Hot sex in her apartment pool begins a game of “undercover lover” that quickly escalates to something more. But when Micah discovers her secret agenda, all bets are off.
