Customer Reviews

Heated fantasies and encounters -- Very highly recommended

Handcuffs, a leather mask, and a pink tutu promise public scandal, threatening the mayor's reelection campaign. Charged with finding the truth, Detective Brady O'Keefe heads the investigation into the murder of the mayor's kinky chief financial backer. With the media circling, the case couldn't get much more difficult. Ordered to stay away from the press, Brady's expected to turn that chore over to a professional liaison. Then Brady's childhood nemesis shows up as a PR consultant and as mouthy as ever. Indeed, "Terror Mahoney" has grown into a nemesis with incredible erotic possibilities. Spin doctor Erin Mahoney knows to present facts to the media with just enough titillation to turn the tide in her direction. A lot is riding on her reputation to get the job done. She's equally adept at manipulating men with her sexuality, without giving into the passions of sex. But somehow with Brady those lines are blurring. She intends to work right up to the edge of professional acceptability; instead, she finds herself falling hard for the dangerous and unpredictable Detective. With heated sexual tension building, it only seems to make sense to let off some steam in a single night of no strings attached passion. But Erin and Brady fail to realize that strings have a way of attaching during heated fantasies and encounters.Author Donna Kauffman once again pens a sensual and heated romance in HEAT OF THE NIGHT. As temperatures rise, the plot promises to leave someone burned...or burning! Sizzling and enticing to the extreme, this fast-paced romp can't help but please. With believable, sexy characterizations, readers will find the pages turning quickly as steam rises and suspense builds. Very highly recommended.

Putting a Spin on Love

Heat of the Night (Donna Kauffman's latest Temptation) features a police detective hero and a public relations heroine and what a beautifully matched duo they are, both in terms of sexuality and intelligence. Both as sharp as tacks and both with some hot fantasies that involve the other. When a city official is found murdered in eyebrow-raising circumstances, Brady O'Keefe is hot to find the perp before the mayor's reelection hopes burst like soap bubbles. But he's hindered by Erin Mahoney (former classmate and the mayor's PR consultant) whose fledgling PR firm could really use the publicity that a job well-done would generate. It's obvious that neither will be able to do their job until they indulge their fantasies and put out the fire that smolders between them. The love scenes are intensely hot and both Brady and Erin find much more than they'd bargained for. The banter between Brady and Erin kept the book going at a fast clip and made for a book that was hard to put down. The cast of secondary characters added spice and variety and the murder mystery was plotted well. Ms. Kauffman's talent and her love for the characters made Heat of the Night one of the best of the summer.
