Eileen Connolly's boyfriend has asked her to move in with him a couple of times. She has put him off because she has some fantasies she wants to get out of the way before making a commitment. Eileen wants sex with a stranger. While her boyfriend is out of town, Eileen decides to act on her fantasy. Shane Nichols is a contractor working on the phone system in Eileen's office. The gorgeous hunk is just what Eileen is looking for. Shane had noticed Eileen when he was in the office the previous week and had already decided to ask her out. When she propositions him for a one-night-stand, Shane agrees...but he already has plans to turn this night into a long-term relationship.

This is a category romance in the Harlequin Blaze line. The story was more or less a sexfest. I liked Shane a lot. He knew what he wanted and knew exactly what Eileen needed. I'm still not sure how I feel about Eileen. She wanted more excitement in her life and knew her boyfriend wouldn't be able to give it to her. She thought she could have her fun, then settle down into a boring life with her boyfriend. I lost respect for her when she was upset after finding out her boyfriend had done the same thing that she did. My rating: 3 Stars.
