Lead Me On (Hqn)
The ever prim and proper Jane Morgan relishes the respectability granted by her job as office manager for Quinn Jennings, introduced in Dahl’s Start Me Up (2009). Jane has worked hard to maintain the appearance of decorum, only to feel as though everything is falling apart as her past intersects with her new life. The former wild child who changed her name and her attitude suddently resurrects her taste for untamed, tattooed men as her hormones react to Chase, the demolition man. After breaking up with her boring D.A. boyfriend, Jane decides to spend one crazy night with Chase. But he decides that he wants the proper-on-the-outside and secretly passionate Jane for far more than that. Jane’s life further unravels when her younger brother is arrested. She must now figure out who she really is, and if she can accept her past and have a future with Chase. Dahl has created another winning, erotic romance filled with likable, down-to-earth characters and her trademark steamy scenes. --Patty Engelmann
