Tate Cross is so damn tired of being the good girl. She wants a little adventure in her life and the way she hopes to achieve that is by having some no-holds-barred sex with a man of her dreams. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a man in mind so when a situation occurs involving her aunt's estate and some must-have renovations; Tate comes across Native American hottie Nathan LeBeau. He happens to be the brother of one of her friends and while skeptical at first, realizes that Tate's proposition is too good to pass up! Work AND no-strings-attached sex? Nathan would be a fool to refuse her.

But what starts out as simple fun and games so turns into a lust-driven relationship that blooms beautifully under James' care. Since this story is an older one, it doesn't have the usual hit that James' more recent work has. However, the talent is still unmistakable. Only Lorelei James can write erotically charged sex scenes with an underlying shard of hope and passion for the couple.

For me, the hero, Nathan LeBeau was what really made this book fun! Sexy but sweet at the same time, Nathan handled Tate well enough that despite his initial hesistancy, it never once felt forced on contrived. While lust may have been what started their relationship, James spends plenty of time building a romance and creating a bond that will last the distance. DIRTY DEEDS captures heat and heart in equal measures.
