BLURB
Maggie
Lawson is an OR nurse, a certified germaphobe! She likes to keep things clean
and orderly. When she meets Ex-Navy SEAL, Gabe Masters, he’s disguised as a
dingy dirty hobo. She cringes as she’s forced to use her nursing skills to
revive him. She soon finds that he’s a ‘dirty boy’ in more ways than one! After
being forced to do his bidding, she unwittingly gets entangled in a dangerous,
fast-paced, sexy adventure that tests the boundaries of her spirit and the
capacity of her heart. Gabe’s passion spirals her to unimaginable heights. She
soon starts to wonder if he is the real danger. Will she succumb to this ‘dirty
boy’ who’s keeping secrets about his past, or will she chose to keep things
clean?
Sandy B's Review
“This man
was her captor, yet he freed her soul; he’d caused her agony, yet also
delivered peace; every touch was euphoric pleasure, and still every word
promised pain and heartbreak.” – Maggie
“If you
don’t get off my lap right now, you’re going to be naked and riding me until
this thing in my pants calms down!” - Gabe
This is Lisa
Eugene’s second book and I can really “see” the growth in her style. Her prose is crisp. Her descriptions more vivid
and colorful. It’s a good thing for us
as readers.Steal My
Heart opens with our hero (I use the term loosely) being chased by some bad
guys a-la Jason Bourne. Our heroine
Maggie is an OR nurse. She’s also a germophobe of the highest order. OCD your name is Maggie. Gabe ends up kidnapping Maggie but it’s for
her own good – really – bad guys wanna end her.
They are both running for their lives with a flash drive full of
confidential information. Yet they both
have to contend with this screaming hot attraction between them. Oh! Wait!
Did I mention Maggie’s very gay BFF David? He is fab-u-lous!
Check out
one of my fave swoon worthy lines from Gabe -
“I need to feel you, baby. So hot, so wet…so damn good…” Yes Gabe you give me goosies! Right there I was wishing I could switch
places with Maggie and take my chances with the gun toting bad guys. LOL.
Here is one from Maggie thinking about her weight that had me chuckling
cause I totally get it - ..“she’d
struggled to lose the extra weight that enjoyed residing at five foot four
Maggie Lawson. PO Box ASS, Zip Code THIGS.
Seems it was its permanent address, and she’d come to accept the
houseguests.”
Have you
ever seen the Mel Gibson movie Payback?
You know from the get go that he’s a bad guy. His wife & business partner had done him
wrong so you find yourself rooting for him.
That’s how I felt about Gabe. I
was torn about his motives but I loved him anyway cause the he involved in
something that was much bigger than he imagined. Unknowingly, people he cared about were in
peril and now he had to “fix” it. Then
he had to contend with his feelings for Maggie and a guy in his position has no
business having feelings for a woman.
Nevermind, someone with Maggie’s special brand of quirkyness. Maggie is funny though she’s really not
trying to be. Her life was safe, quiet
and orderly with everything running on a schedule without deviation. Then she gives a “hobo” mouth to mouth and
her whole world goes to hell in a hand basket in the blink of an eye.
AND there is
a twist, of course, but no, I’m not telling you! What fun would that be if I spoiled it for
ya?
The book is
fast paced, fun to read and keeps you turning the pages to find out what
happens next. Steal my Heart gives you
adventure, romance and brings the smexyin a really good
way. What else could you possibly
want? I expect that Lisa’s style will
continue to flourish. I’m a reader and a
fan so I will continue to enjoy her books.
Hey Lisa! When’s the next one coming?
