Summary: Lori Foster's IN TOO DEEP was delightful.
Review: I loved Charlie's (Charlotte) outer brashness that hid her marshmallow center! Charlie is looking for the father who deserted her -- not because she needs him in her life. Charlie doesn't need anyone. No, she wants to find him so he'll cough up the money to send her little sister to school. As she's checking out her father, she accidently finds herself kidnapped. Her co-kidnappee happens to be an overbearing, aggravating, GORGEOUS man, Harry Lonnigan. Harry's an investigator, but pretty soon the only mystery he is interested in solving is Charlie -- a woman who annoys and fascinates him in turn. IN TOO DEEP, is an entertaining story of discovery and love. Lori Foster's stories never fail to delight me!

Review: Lori has outdone herself once again! Lori has a talent to make you feel what her characters feel. If Harry was a challenge for her, you would never sense it in her depth of him. Charlie is the heroine I think that has something all of us wish we had a bit more of and that is guts. You sympathize with her and if you come from a dysfunctional home, you can really relate. Lori sizzles with Charlie and Harry and you would be a fool to pass this one up! Keep em coming Lori!

Summary: blaze - this one?
Review: okay, the story was good, but this book was definitely not blaze. I like Lori Foster's writing style and the discussion between heros is wonderful, but after Taken or Tantalizing this book was quite a disappointment as Blaze.

Summary: Lori Foster writes romances that sizzle
Review: Worried about his fellow shopkeepers doing something rash, jewelry storeowner Dalton asks his friend private Investigator Harry Lonnigan for help. Harry would do anything for Dalton who has been like a father to the sleuth. Harry watches the two punks Ralph and Floyd extort money from the shopkeeper when he notices the woman bundled as a boy observing something too. All hell breaks out and the two thugs take Harry and Charlie Jones as prisoners for their boss Carlyle to handle.

Charlie and Harry escape, but not before an attraction between them explodes. She explains that she was spying on her runaway father, a local storeowner. She needs money to send her teenage sister off to a top college and wants her dad who deserted them eighteen years ago to pay the bill. Harry learns that Dalton is her father. He knows his friend has spent a small fortune trying to find his daughters who were taken away by his ex-wife. As Harry risks his heart to help reconcile father and daughter, he also tries to keep the neighborhood safe from Carlyle's gang, but Charlie only knows how to go right up the middle into trouble.

IN TOO DEEP is an entertaining contemporary romance that stars two appealing protagonists. Harry is a big man with a big heart and an Ivy League vocabulary. Charlie is a petite woman with a big heart and the vernacular of a bar owner. This couple blazes through the story line leaving a satisfied audience wanting more novels from Lori Foster.
