Publisher's Weekly Review

Sexy bad boy Jude Jamison, a former prize-fighter and wealthy actor who has given up Hollywood for sleepy Stillbrook, Ohio, develops a mad crush on curvy, conservative gallery owner May Price in this appealing contemporary romance from bestseller Foster (Wild). Though May does her best to thwart Jude's bold advances, she winds up pleading for his help after her ne'er-do-well brother, $50,000 in debt, is beaten by loan shark goons. May and her brother have no choice but to borrow the money from Jude and hide out at his palatial Stillbrook estate. When Jude discovers that the terms of the debt involve a personal threat, he steps in to protect both May and himself. Jude and May are so graphically portrayed that it's impossible not to feel heat radiating off the pages, especially during their hard-earned love scenes, but their hostile back-and-forth makes their relationship, at times, forced and uncomfortable. However, neatly dovetailing plotlines and plenty of family drama more than compensate. (Feb.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Booklist Review

Former wrestling champ turned movie star Jude Jamison has moved to Stillbrook, Ohio, to escape the pressure of fame and a scandal that haunts him. Tired of the artifice and cookie--cutter looks of Hollywood women, Jude finds Stillbrook's pleasingly plump art dealer, May Price, much to his liking. May finds it hard to believe that a handsome celebrity would be interested in her. But when her gambling, alcoholic brother, Tim, shows up beaten half to death with orders to kill Jude or die, May breeches the fragile wall between her and Jude to protect both him and her brother. The spunky heroine and honorable hero are only two of the characters that make Foster's latest so good. Delightful secondary characters, such as Denny, the wrestling trainer and Jude's right-hand man, and Ashley, the sassy but loyal best friend, enhance the story and add many humorous moments. Even the psycho killer is three-dimensional. With her trademark blend of danger, humor, and passion, Foster has written another entertaining romance. --Shelley Mosley Copyright 2006 Booklist
