Kiss In The Dark (Harlequin Temptation, No 514)

Summary: It doesn't stay dark for long.
Review: Back Cover description: Brittany Astor wanted three things: to be beautiful, to marry Ethan Moss and to own a cat. The rare, expensive Bengal kitten was a possibility. Which led to her unexpected encounter with to man of her dreams. To earn extra money, the struggling book editor answered an ad to read aloud. Her employer wasn't the sweet little old lady she'd imagined but nasty, sexy Ethan. Nor was the notorious playboy exactly what Brittany had been fantasizing about for years. Temporarily blinded, Ethan was hiding himself away from the world. For timid, plain Britt this was her chance to have a hot and torrid fling with Ethan. But what about when fantasy time was over?

First, Brittany doesn't really come across as plain and timid. Second, she might be struggling, but not much. Third, some of the dialogue was erotic, but I think the author could have used something other than the school girl/principal theme. That's my objection and why I only gave it 3 stars.

Summary: A romance for those who know dreams CAN come true.
Review: Rather than most romance novels, which usually stick to the same basic guidelines of mostly a very physical relationship, White uses mind play and games to give the reader a sense of fun and surprise. For anyone tired of the same old drivel, I highly recomend this book. Tiffany White's lead women are always strong and intelligent, and know how to get what they want! A Kiss in the Dark features a woman who has fallen for a gorgeous polo player who is both rich and well known. When he is temporarily blinded, she finds the opening she's been looking for. Sensuous mind play ensues, keeping the reader smiling, and anticipating every next move. A story well worth the read. It's a breath of fresh air for anyone who is tired of the same damsel in distress story line.

Summary: Imaginative and sexy
Review: The heroine is a book editor who answers an ad in the paper looking for someone to read out loud. When she arrives for the interview, she discovers that-- instead of the elderly person she is expecting-- the person she would be reading to is the rich gorgeous man who she's secretly had a crush on for years who has been blinded-- hopefully temporarily-- in a horse riding accident. Since he doesn't remember her clearly, the heroine takes a few liberties when describing herself, which makes her bold enough to share some sexy fantasies with him. Her playfulness makes him feel better and encourages him to go out in the world and deal with his blindness. But how will he react if he gets his sight back?

This is a fun, sexy book that explores fantasies, dreams, and reality.
