Who’s that sleeping in my bed…

Tired from a long day of housekeeping for Donovan Steele, Natalie Ford is in need of little nap.  Since Donovan isn’t expected home anytime soon, Natalie doesn’t think twice about climbing into his bed to do just that.  When Donovan wakes her, Natalie is embarrassed beyond belief, but it doesn’t diminish the force of the immediate attraction they both feel for each other.

Intrigued by the woman sleeping in his bed, Donovan goes to extreme lengths to get to know Natalie on the most basic, yet sensual level.  Natalie is not interested in being just another notch on Donovan’s bedpost, but his persistence eventually wears her down and the two enjoy a steamy love affair.  Before they can enjoy happily ever after, issues of trust and understanding come to the forefront which must be resolved.

After writing 66 novels, one would think an author would have no more stories to tell or those stories would be stale and uninviting.  But this is not the case with Brenda Jackson.  Jackson always manages to write novels that are hot and spicy, sweet and romantic.  Jackson’s stories also come with strong characters readers will admire, and in the case of the hero, fall in love with.

Each time I pick up a Brenda Jackson novel, my faith in love is always restored.
