LORI FOSTER DELIVERS AGAIN!!

I couldn't wait for this sequel to Jude's Law to be released, and I must say I'm NOT disappointed! Lori Foster always creates wonderful stories and characters that leap off the page. Quinton and Ashley are no exception. Ashley Miles has had a tough life, but she's strong, independent, and determined to accomplish her goals. A gorgeous, rich, sexy, man just doesn't fit into her plans right now. Quinton Murphy doesn't agree. He can't help his attraction for Ashley, and is determined to show her just how good they can be together. He admires her goals, but sets out on a relentless mission to seduce. It isn't long before neither can deny the heat between them. The banter between these two is hilarious, and had me laughing out loud! This story has all the elements I love: romance, wonderful characters, delightful dialogue, some suspenseful moments, and HOT, STEAMY love scenes! This one definitely goes on my keeper shelf with Foster's other books!

Witty, Laugh-Out-Loud GOOD Reading!

Ms. Foster brings us the sequel to Jude's Law. Teaming with witty dialogue, excellent characters and a little bit of suspense, this one literally had me up till the crack of dawn. It was that hard to put down. I laughed, I cried, then both at the same time. Ashley Miles has goals in life and no one better mess with them. The only problem is someone is trying to mess with them, but good. We met Ashley in Foster's previous title, "Jude's Law", as the sassy best friend of May. On her night cleaning job, she meets Quinton Murphy, savvy business mogul and all around heartthrob extraordinaire. Sure, she's attracted to him, but if he thinks he's getting inside her carefully erected shields, well, he's got another thing coming. She had a hard enough life with deadbeat parents and she's not about to end up like them. But how can she resist his persistent pursuit? He's wearing her down slow and steady, in tantalizingly sexy ways. Amongst the steam and starry eyes though, a killer has his eye on Ashley. The tragic cloud hanging over from Jude's past has set new sights on her and the killer is determined to make her pay for her interference. With her life literally on the line, Ashley and Quinton will go through trials no couple should ever see. Will their relationship survive the onslaught? A long anticipated sequel, "Murphy's Law" panned out to be all it promised and much more. Ashley was a favorite character of mine from the previous installment and Quinton was a definite eye-catcher. Their dialogue throughout is fast paced, snappy and downright hilarious. Ashley alone could fill pages and pages of dialogue by herself--she is that vivid. Quinton is a man that knows how to plan a seduction and any woman would love to be his prey. Smart, genuinely caring and hot, hot, hot, he's the perfect man. Like Ashley, he's not without his little secrets, but once they were revealed, I only loved him more. Characters from the first book make an appearance. Jude and May's relationship is solidified. Denny (Jude's fighting trainer) is back and still training the seemingly deadbeat Tim into a human fit for living. It's an all around, wonderful read, not one to be missed. Absolutely brilliant, Ms. Foster! It's a keeper for me, one I'm certain to revisit again. K. Montgomery Official Reviewer for The Mystic Castle

You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet!

In Jude's Law, Lori Foster gave you a tempting peek at Quinton Murphy. And if you're anything like me that fleeting glimpse made you want more of the hot, sexy millionaire. I mean, seriously, is there anything hotter than a hunky, tenacious man on a mission? Quinton's newest undertaking: Ashley Miles. Ashley has absolutely no time in her life for men, but that doesn't stop Quinton. In fact, her impeccable work ethic, and self-sufficient attitude only turn Quinton on more. He loves that she's determined to make her own way, that she's anxious to gain a better life for herself through hard work and long hours, and he adores the fact that he can make her body burn with just a kiss. Unfortunately, Ashley's hectic schedule leaves Quinton scrambling for every small scrap of time that he can get. Luckily for Quinton, he's an inventive sort of guy, and soon Ashley finds herself getting in way too deep with the handsome lug. Lust turns to love and Ashley absolutely has no time for love. Pfft, as if! With two jobs and school to boot, she barely has time to sleep and eat. And it doesn't help that Quinton turns out to be a genuinely nice guy. Underneath the expensive suits and beyond the muscled physique lay a heart of gold. Oh man, Ashley is such a goner. However, not everyone is quite so captivated by Ashley Miles. In fact, someone wants Ashley to hurt. Someone wants to see that Ashley Miles gets exactly what she deserves for her meddlesome ways. And he'll stop at nothing, including hurting the very people Ashley has always tried so hard to protect. Soon, Ashley realizes that maybe it's not such a bad thing to lean on someone other than herself, especially if it'll keep the people she loves most out of harm's way. **Murphy's Law is an entertaining story, filled with sexual tension and emotional scenes that will have you restless and laughing--sometimes even at the same time. Quinton and Ashley are a a matched pair!

Life According to Murphy's Law!

Quinton Murphy knows what he likes and what he likes is Ashley Miles, May's best friend. But Ashley is willful, stubborn and has a plan for her life. She works hard and he knows he doesn't factor into her future. Good thing he's as stubborn as she is because he wants her in his life and he is going to make her realize that she can have her future and he can be a part of it. But he's not counting on how protective she is going to be of her heart. He knows she is hiding something from him and he will do what he must to find out what it is...he doesn't scare easily and Ashley is worth it. Ms. Foster has done it again! This is a wonderfully sexy read that long time fans and new fans alike will love. We met Quinton and Ashley in "Jude's Law" and I was thrilled to find out she was going to give these two special characters their own story. The pages sizzle with their sexy chemistry and when combined with the fast-paced storyline, readers will be well entertained. I truly believe Ms. Foster is incapable of penning a dull story!
