"Intense, personal and steamy"

It's been many years since I last sat down with a
Harlequin Blaze, so when I started to read OVERNIGHT
SENSATION by Karen Foley I really wasn't quite sure what
to expect. I knew from others that Blazes get hot
quickly, and maintain that heat throughout, but what about
interesting characters or a plot? Would I get something
other than what someone I know has termed porn on paper? I'm very pleased to say that while I didn't get to read
OVERNIGHT SENSATION quite as quickly as I might have liked
because of life issues (don't we hate when real life
intrudes into our reading time) I was totally captivated
every time I sat down and turned pages. Ivy James was in her own way a successful movie star, but
she had yet to achieve that A-list role that would make
her a stand out in the way that Julia Roberts is a stand
out in the film industry. When the opportunity to co-star
in Eye Of The Hunter with Eric Terrell practically falls
in her lap she knows she would be nuts to turn it down. Filming has already begun on location in Mexico when Ivy
is offered the role. While she doesn't expect
preferential treatment she is sorely dismayed at the
welcome she gets into Mexico, and onto the location of the
set. Garrett Stokes, is a technical advisor for the film, and
the soldier on whom the film is based. Several years
previously as he was recovering from his wounds, which Eye
Of The Hunter will detail, he is hospitalized with Ivy's
brother who was wounded in Iraq. As a deathbed promise
Garrett swears he will keep an eye on Ivy, and has done so
from afar, and now is ready to move things to a new level. Will Ivy and Garrett have the chance to know each other on
a more personal level, or will Ivy's costar Eric beat
Garrett to Ivy's bed? With whom will the chemistry
ignite, and the heat come off the pages of OVERNIGHT
SENSATION and singe your fingers? This is privileged
information until you read OVERNIGHT SENSATION for
yourself. I will give you the warning that the story is intense, and
does get personal and steamy fast. I don't recall
previously reading Ms. Foley, but if OVERNIGHT SENSATION
is representative of her work I will be seeking other
stories by her.
SUMMARY
Actress Ivy James is finally getting her big break! She's
been cast as the lead in a steamy blockbuster movie, a
sizzling flick based on war hero Garrett Stokes's military—
and sexual—experiences behind enemy lines. In the role, Ivy
will be required to shoot a lot of on-screen sex scenes
with her costar, one of Hollywood's top hunks.
Unfortunately for Ivy, the only guy who can get her motor
running is the technical consultant—Garrett himself! Garrett has been secretly in love with Ivy for years. In fact, it was only his infatuation with her that got him
through all those months in a military hospital. So when
Ivy asks him to show her just how good the sex was, how can
he resist? But will she still want to share his bed when
she learns that Garrett's lust for her was the only reason
she got the part?
