The Ex-Factor by Nancy Warren is part of Harlequin Blaze's Forbidden Fantasies Series.

Karen Petersham has spent the years since her divorce trying to forget her ex-husband and build her wedding planning business. Dex walks back into her life to help his friend plan her wedding by standing in for her fiancé who is in Italy. Immediately Karen's old feelings for this man bubble to the surface. In order to fight those feelings she agrees to try online dating, but Dex is always there in the forefront of her mind. No matter who else she dates, she still longs for her ex.

Dexter Crane knew whose establishment he was going to. He had recommended Karen's business to the happy couple. He always blamed Karen for their divorce. He believed she didn't trust him or believe in him. More, she didn't fight for their marriage. He came to realize he didn't fight either. Now that she's back in his life sex isn't enough, he wants it all.

This is my first book by Nancy Warren. Let me tell you, it won't be the last. She is definitely added to 'my authors to watch' list. Karen and Dex are characters that you instantly fall in love with. They are characters you can relate to and want to be like. Dex is the man you want in your bed. Ladies, he knows his woman well-- her likes, dislikes, wants, and needs. Now that's a man we want.
