BODY CHEMISTRY, the third book in the Black Stockings series, is the most playfully romantic of the books to date.

Biologist Brenda Everton receives her invitation to join the secret society after being stunned by the suicide of a close friend and failing to win a grant that would continue funding her scientific research. With one failed marriage already behind her and these latest personal setbacks, Brenda decides it would be nice to meet her Ideal Man but has no clue where to begin.

Renowned scientist Dominic Ayers has fame and fortune...and one regret. An encounter with Brenda at the funeral of their mutual friend fuels his determination to be reunited with his ex-wife, if only she'll give him a second chance.

Dara Girard again presents the Black Stockings Society as a means of helping the chosen woman get what she needs and deserves out of life. A new wardrobe and makeover, some perks specific to her life's desires, and a few pairs of sexy stockings that make all the difference in exchange for secrecy.

I wanted Brenda and Dominic together to restore their love and bask in their undeniable chemistry right from the beginning. With each supporting character, it was a matter of being for or against what was clearly the winning team.

Like a delicious ice cream sundae, BODY CHEMISTRY gave complete satisfaction but was over way too fast. I don't know how many more stories are planned for this series but for my money, Ms. Girard can just keep the books coming and coming and coming.
