Never Naughty Enough

Never Naughty Enough by Jill Monroe Harlequin Temptation # 1003 - December 2004 Wagner vowed to himself that he'd never put a woman through what his father did to his mother. His father risked the family's financial security on his inventions. Wagner's a risk taker too, and he believes in his father's patents, but until he makes it there will be no woman in his life. Annabelle's father was a scam artist who took the money of innocent people. Now in prison for his deeds, Annabelle has been paying off his debts and is almost there thanks to Wagner's generosity as an employer. Annabelle's been in love with Wagner for years, but because of her father's deeds, she's never allowed herself to be outgoing and take charge. As a party prank, Annabelle agrees to let a young fellow hypnotize her; she scoffs that it can't be done. Well, while under the trance, she given suggestions to go after what she wants. When she wakes up, she's positive that she wasn't hypnotized, but suddenly she has cravings that she can't understand. Wagner can't fathom the changes in his usually shy, efficient secretary; suddenly he can't keep his thoughts focused on the deal of his career, all his thoughts are on the irresistible and delectable Belle. This is a delightful sensual read. The antics of the new Belle are wonderfully endearing and poor Wagner is no match for her determination. This is Ms Monroe's debut and it is a gem. I look forward to catching up with her again in Blaze. This book has been in my TBR pile from my Temptation subscription. I'm not sure why I haven't read it earlier, the cover certainly isn't the reason; this hero is yummy. Perhaps it was the idea of Annabelle suddenly finding her get go because she was hypnotized. All in all this was a very good read and I look forward to reading more from Ms. Monroe

"Never Naughty Enough" is a read-in-one-sitting book. Annabelle's decision to act on her unrequited love versus Wagner's belief in doing the right thing sets up a clash of wills -- a battle the poor hero doesn't have a prayer of winning, especially when Annabelle drops her perfect assistant guise and lets the real her, the one she's firmly repressed, loose. Jill Monroe's debut book is the kind of funny and sexy that makes me look forward to more books from the author.

Jill Monore delivers a sexy, steaming hot story that will not disappoint. I loved Annabelle's journey to the wild side and couldn't get enough of the things she did to loosen Wagner up. Fun and passionate!!!
