He spun around to find the elevators. Damn, somehow he had gotten lost in the maze of Yellow Fever. Who named a hotel, Yellow Fever? Who would arrange a high-level meeting at a hotel called Yellow Fever? Kerry McClure, that’s who. Rune Technologies would not succeed without the deal with McClure Ventures. Everything he and Ian had worked for depended on this one business contract. So, if the man wanted to meet in a casino, then Stein would meet him in the casino. He’d meet him in the kitchen, if needed, to get the agreement signed. He had to secure this deal. A service elevator door swished open. He shoved the notes into his swim trunk’s pocket, folded the shirt over his forearm, and stepped inside. He’d never get used to jet-lag. He punched the dim yellow button, and took a step back as he ran a hand through his hair. He had to get some normalcy in his life. “Stop,” a woman’s voice said, as a small hand pressed against his back. He turned and took a pace back. A gypsy stood before him, a sexy gypsy wearing a long flowing orange and gold skirt, with a white off-the-shoulder blouse and no bra. He had to look, it was Vegas after all and he was a man in need of creature comforts. He guessed her to be about five-foot-six with breasts that didn’t appear to be silicone-based. They were full, smooth and pliable as they rose and fell as she breathed, pushing against the tiny bit of supportive elastic of the see-through blouse. He raised his gaze, her head remained bowed. She smelled like an exotic flower. He placed two fingers under her chin and lifted her face. She pulled back. Startled from his touch? In the next blink, her eyes softened. When he lowered his hand to hang limp at his side, her stance relaxed. Magnificent dark brown eyes stood out on her beautiful, delicate face. The gold scarf wrapped around her head hid most of her light brown hair, but added a glint to her eyes. She shifted from foot to foot as she straightened her blouse and tightned the belted scarf around her tiny waist. “I’m sorry… Magda?” he nodded toward her name badge. She shoved her blouse up onto her shoulders, closing off the gap which had allowed him full view of her breasts. “Quite all right. You didn’t see me.” Kerry didn’t correct him. Her name badge sported Magda because she would perform as a gypsy in the Magda tent for the library fundraiser. She ran her glance from his eyes to his bare chest to his tight swim trunks, keeping her gaze there a little too long. “Are you with the Chippendales?” She clamped her teeth on her quivering lip to hold the nervous laughter inside. Goodness, he was gorgeous. His swim trunks weren’t the typical boxer style, but tight fitting, with bulging pockets. Bits of white paper peeked out of one and the imprint of a cell phone outlined the other. “No.” He unfolded his shirt and slid it over his head. The elevator jerked to a stop. She crashed into him and grabbed at his waist with both hands. He’d pushed his arms through the sleeves, but the cloth hadn’t dropped into place before her fingers slid over the heat of his stomach. The cords of his slim waist and muscular stomach made her want to explore. Her heart pounded against her ribcage. Chart the unknown. Larkspur at Long and Short Reviews had this to say: Holy Cow what a great read! Ms. Keller gives us a love at first sight story. Stein and Kerry make a great hero and heroine.

Stein Laxdale needs the business deal with McClure Ventures to buy out a greedy partner bent on destroying his company. When these two accidently meet in an elevator that stalls with them in it while Stein is in his swim suit looking like a model and Kerry is dressed as a gypsy they have no way to know who the other is and chemistry and fate begins to work. But after their steamy encounter is there a way to salvage the business deal and work together. And could there be more between them than simple lust and opportunity? This is a delightful story full of misunderstandings, misdirection, and unexpected twists. Both Kerry and Stein are intelligent and generally good people but the situation they find themselves in is unusual and leads to some different choices. The couple had previously built a email relationship into at least a friendship before they meet but neither was expecting the electrical current that runs between them in person. My quirky sense of humor was definitely tweaked and I enjoyed this story a lot. I also really like the two main secondary characters Jessica and Ian who are experiencing a few sparks of their own. I would love to see a sequel featuring these two. I have enjoyed every book I have read by JJ Keller and this one lives up to that reputation. If you have never read this author, this particular book would be a great one to start with! This is a wonderful, lighthearted, and fun quick read to start you day off well or to finish your day feeling good!

I felt like I (Kerry McClure) was on a little vacation! I have told many friends about it so I hope they purchase it too!! My middle name is Jessica and my Maiden name was Cameron so the part about the limo driver and Jessica - I was seeing my 'names' everywhere! I really liked the end! Great twist and it explained so much! Thank you and good luck on your next novel! Sincerely, Kerry McClure" I must say, I don't think a review could make me as happy as this one. Thank you!
