The Charmer

Alex is a "charmer"--he uses his charms to seduce a woman then quickly tires of her. He is featured on a "smooth operator" website that warns women to stay away from him. I really enjoyed this book. Its tone is a bit darker and more serious than an average Blaze, but the heroine is very distinctive. She carries a secret which has affected her life and her attitude toward men and romance. I thought the hero could be a bit of a jerk--he's attracted to model types and then dumps them because they're not "serious" enough for him. Apparently he has to drive all the way to Wisconsin to find a woman who reads and enjoys the outdoors. Dumbass needs to buy a clue. Other than that, he is a good match for Tenley, the heroine--very caring and protective of a rather prickly character. This looks to be part of a "smooth operators" series by Blaze--another one by Kate Hoffmann will be coming out in April according to the Harlequin website. I'll definitely be checking it out.
