Bad Influence

Interior decorator, Paige Favreau, is having dinner with her best friends at their weekly sex and supper club get together, when she gets a call from her grandfather, Lyndon Favreau. Lyndon has been in a car accident so Paige rushes off to the hospital. Lyndon is alright, and while sitting in the waiting room Paige strikes up a brief conversation with a gorgeous stranger who is the complete opposite of the men she usually dates, but she is strongly attracted to him anyway. Lyndon's car collided with Gloria Reed's, his next-door neighbor. Zach Reed is the sexy stranger Paige met in the hospital and now they will be both caring for their grandparents for a while. Gloria is looking to put a burlesque museum in town and Lyndon is against it. Zach is a blues guitarist with some time on his hands right now and he wants to get close to Paige, so he decides to use the conflict between their grandparents as a convenient excuse to keep in contact with her. The attraction is growing fast between Paige and Zach and soon they're tangled in a very passionate romance. Paige knows that Zach will eventually head out on the road again though and she realizes that the vacation fling she thought she wanted, has become something much more to her. Bad Influence tests the opposites attract theory, and Paige and Zach pass with flying colors! Paige has always been in control of everything but Zach easily persuades her to be passionately adventurous. I particularly enjoyed Zach's music and his personality; he is wild and wicked and perfect for Paige. Bad Influence is a modern, sexy and romantic love story that really steams up the pages. I am very eager to read more in this series! Nannette Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Hot and zany

Being an ambassador's daughter Interior designer Paige Favreau knows she must behave with decorum never causing any scandals. That is fine by her as her nature is to never take risks doing anything remotely out of control. Guitar playing Zach Reed knows his career as a musician is sliding down the slope of fame and acclaim. Though his vocation in terms of making money looks over, he is a risk-taker who lives for the next gig. When they meet both they are attracted to one another but neither plans to make any moves as the other is obviously too much the opposite to forge anything meaningful. However when Paige's grandfather and Zach's grandmother are incapacitated due to a car accident, they become the children's caretaker while the grandparents recover. This twist of fate makes Zach and Paige temporary neighbors encouraged by their geriatric patients helping love takes it course. The grandparents add cooling humor (Granny wants to open a burlesque theatre for instance) to a wonderfully torrid romance in which sparks ignite from the moment the lead couple lay eyes on each other. Paige and Zach are a wonderful pairing who believes that opposites might attract but the magnetism does not hold while their respective grandparent proves to be a BAD INFLUENCE on how to behave. Hot and zany, this is a hardy contemporary. Harriet Klausner
