GIVE HIM THE SLIP

Author: Geralyn Dawson ISBN: 0451219635 10/2006 CONTEMPORARY Publisher: NAL/Signet Eclipse

She's a woman on the run. Maddie Kincaid thought she'd left trouble behind when she settled in peaceful Brazos Bend. She started her own business. She lived the simple life. She never dreamed that helping a gentle old man would land her in the middle of murder - her own. Now she's running for her life, right into the arms of the infamous Luke "Sin" Callahan. He does his best work undercover. Luke Callahan has just settled into his much-needed fishing vacation, and the last thing he needs on his line is a long-legged redhead stowaway with secrets in her heart and killers on her trail. Lucky for her, he's deadlier than the guys who are chasing her. Unfortunately for him, she's gorgeous, smart and determined to make it on her own. When the secrets start spilling and the nights heat up, Luke realizes he faces a new sort of danger—losing the woman he loves. Can he win the battle for her heart? Or will she ...Give Him The Slip?

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Geralyn Dawson has just converted me into a contemporary romance fan. I absolutely loved her book, the first in the Holy Terrors of Texas series, called GIVE HIM THE SLIP. This is an exciting, super sexy and marvelously entertaining read!

You will love, love, love ex-DEA agent Luke "Sin" Callahan! Trust me, I am already having dreams about him. Dawson knows how to write sexy, brooding heroes that will make your mouth water and your heart skip a beat! Luke is right up there on my top ten-hero list (which I didn't really knew I had... until now). He is a tall, muscular, sexy, cowboy boot wearing, green eyes staring, utterly hunky Texan! I need to get me a cowboy.

I can't forget to mention the woman who is going to drive him to the brink of sexual frustration, Maddie Kincaid. Maddie is a wonderfully written heroine that can be meek and mild one minute, and the tempting seductress the next. I love her (and her tattoo).

When Luke and Maddie are together there is an enormous amount of sexual tension between them, which makes this book even more enjoyable to read. Wow! When the two of them finally release their frustration, let me just say that I will never be able to look at a Maserati in the same way again!

Aside from all the great sex, there is a just as fantastic plot that focuses around Maddie. Someone tried to kill her and now, because of that, she is about to stir up some secrets that may be better left unknown.

I had a great time read Geralyn Dawson's GIVE HIM THE SLIP. I don't know how I'm going to be able to wait another year for the next book in the series to come out! I urge you to get to your nearest bookseller and grab a copy of it today.
