This is a Hallowe'en story complete with masked characters
and a party. Lucille Vandenberg has moved to Washington
DC
and is looking for a man in OH NAUGHTY NIGHT! Not a life
partner, or anything, just a good-looking man she can
consider hopping into bed with after a lively party. He's
got to be smart and interesting to talk to; she's worked
in
Rwanda and got out of a relationship with a man so self-
absorbed he barely knew her, so she thinks she's matured
enough to know what's right. Not asking for much is she?
Dressed as a witch - the seductive type - with a half-
mask,
Lucille looks just right with her girlfriends at their
local Hallowe'en party. She attracts the attention of a
magazine journalist called Chaz Browning, also there to
have fun. Lucille and Chaz knew each other when they were
kids in Maryland, but he doesn't recognise her now under
the mask. Pity they never got on in the past! He was the
geeky serious boy and she was the careless trickster. Now
he's got a body to wow any woman and an interesting, well-
travelled life. Lucille is more than keen, but she can't
risk letting the mask slip. If Chaz knows who she is, end
of party. After all, she caused him to break a bone, and
she once poured a milkshake over his head.
OH, NAUGHTY NIGHT is a fun, erotic story of dancing at a
party, getting
seriously hot and close, but with the lady hiding her
identity; so that next day the guy wishes he knew who to
date and she in turn wishes he doesn't look so
disappointed
when he stops in the street to say hi.
OH, NAUGHTY NIGHT is also a
thoroughly modern story in which a married couple of
ladies
throw a party to celebrate that they are going to have a
baby. Though both Chaz and Lucille grew up in conservative
homes, they have grown beyond that and are able to wish
these new friends all the best in whatever way they prefer
to lead their lives. So there is a lot to like for today's
reader.
Amid the rest of the holiday season's festivities we see a
more serious side to the hot romance; after all, a
relationship needs to work outside the bedroom. I enjoyed
OH NAUGHTY NIGHT! and while I wasn't familiar with Leslie
Kelly's works I'll be looking out for them from now on,
given her sexy tales of well-drawn characters in awkward
situations.
Hot for the holidays!
Every Halloween party has its share of eye candy, and
journalist Chaz Browning has just spotted a treat he can't
resist—a deliciously wicked witch with sparkly red hair
and
deep, dark eyes that promise all kinds of sexy tricks. She
wants no names. No strings. Just a night of lust-filled
magic.
The witch's mask may hide her face, but Lulu Vandenberg
knows exactly who Chaz is. They spent most of their
childhoods tormenting each other. So the moment Chaz
touches
her and everything turns to lust, Lulu knows she can never
reveal her identity. But desire has a memory of its own,
and
Chaz has vowed to find his fantasy woman before the
holidays
end.
