Four flirty stories focus on the attraction between
characters who are already coworkers, acquaintances or
former lovers. Unique situations help each couple find
happiness as intimacies are shared and truths revealed!
In THE WINNING TRUTH by Erin McCarthy, four
people compete to win an SUV by trying to outlast each
other while living in the car together. Tansey Reynolds
shamelessly flirts with handsome carpenter J.T. Kowalski
during the auditions for the radio promotion, never
expecting to end up seated next to him in the back seat of
the SUV. Although their conversations to avoid boredom
create an instant intimacy, the sexual tension between them
is squelched by the live web camera in the vehicle, and the
knowledge that only one person can walk away a winner.
In the second novella, Alesia Holliday shares THE
NAKED TRUTH ABOUT GUYS, which is also the name of the
popular humor column that C.J. Murphy writes in the Seattle
Times. C.J. may get wacky fan mail and marriage proposals
from fans she's never met, but she's always been just one
of the guys. A makeover and a new attitude help C.J.
attract the attention of Hugh, the sophisticated city
reporter who's been sleeping his way around the office
since he arrived six months ago.
In TRUTH OR DARE, Donna Kauffman places two former
lovers together in the remote island mansion of an
eccentric billionaire known for his exciting and exotic
lifestyle. Bailey Madison has been hired to ghostwrite the
biography of the infamous Franklin Dent, never expecting to
be working with documentary filmmaker Noah Morrisey, better
known to her as the lover who left without explanation or
farewell. Sparks fly when Noah and Bailey must experience
daredevil adventures firsthand to authentically write about
their employer's life.
Concluding with NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, Beverly
Brandt puts a new spin on matchmaking with a marriage-
preparatory service called Rules of Engagement. It's been
almost a year since Madison Case was dumped by her husband
in front of a live studio audience so that he could marry
her sister instead. This Valentine's Day, Maddie is too
busy with work to worry about love. She's coordinating a
marriage proposal marathon to coach potential grooms and
reluctant brides to the altar. If things go smoothly,
Maddie's business will receive some much-needed publicity,
but the presence of Scott Seaver, her handsome divorce
attorney, is making Maddie nervously question the lies and
truths of love.
Ms. McCarthy perfectly captures first-date conversations
and the deeper questions and compromises of a more
meaningful relationship, all from the back of an SUV. Ms.
Holiday's tomboy character won my heart with her amusing
perceptions on the truth about guys. Ms. Kauffman's story
has the feel of a quirky reality show with both physical
and emotional risk-taking. And Ms. Brandt's fun romp is
sure to be enjoyed; it's packed with proposals, unlikely
lovers and very happy endings. The second novella was my
favorite for good romance and great characters, although
each story brought a new meaning to the theme of truth in
relationships.
All bets are off in this erotically charged collection of
four all-new stories that follows four daring women as they
risk it all to win the often challenging and unpredictble
game of love.
