Product Description
Raw, animal magnetism...
...is a big red flag to prim and proper office manager Jane Morgan. After a rough childhood with a mother who liked her men in prison-jumpsuit orange, Jane changed her name, her look and her taste for bad boys. So why is she lusting for William Chase with his tattoo-covered biceps and steel-toed boots? The man blows things up for a living!
She gives herself one explosive, fantasy-filled night with Chase. The next day it's back to plain Jane and safe men.
But when her beloved brother becomes a murder suspect, it's Chase who comes to her rescue. And Jane discovers that a man who's been around the block knows a thing or two about uncovering the truth....

 Decent book July 20, 2010
Michigoon (Mid-MI)
I got this book for my wife from the Vine program since she's a romance novel fan. I had her give me feedback for this review and not all of it was good. While she enjoyed the humor and the contemporary storyline, she didn't like the part about Jane's brother and thought that it was a bit distracting. She also wasn't a big fan of Jane herself, especially the way she treated Chase, the story's main attraction. She did like romance scenes and said specifically that they were great, especially the "birthday present" scene. All in all, she'd recommend this for a light read or a romance novel fan, but it's something you can skip and not miss.
Worth a read July 15, 2010

Jane is a very successful self-proclaimed ice queen. She purposely chooses the most unsexy attire possible. Think along the lines of a librarian. She does this to keep the other side of herself deeply burined. The side that is related to her questionable past and dysfunctional family. The hero of the story, Chase, is exactly opposite of the type of man she wants for appearances and her new life. But exactly the type man that she's really attracted to. Though she rejects him time and time again it's always an inside struggle. Chase on the other hand, does not struggle with whether or not he wants be with her. Only why she continues to fight it. He is very pesistant and heros tend to be. He has all the outward charactersitics of a shady character but turns out to be a bad boy turned good. It's not classic American literature, but it's an entertaining read. The back and forth of her using and rejecting him and him constantly taking her back did get a little old though.
 Not the best July 13, 2010

I did like the hero of the story, but couldn't figure out why he kept pursuing a relationship with the heroine. Because she really wasn't a heroine, she was too selfish. She's too in love with her fake image to really love herself, her family, let alone a man. And with all her issues, why would any man want to pursue her for anything other than sex without commitment.
 Lead Me On- A Joyfully Recommended Title July 11, 2010

Jane Morgan is trying to do what it takes to make sure that her prim and proper office manager persona stays intact. She doesn't want anyone to connect her with the wild child of her youth, and especially doesn't want anyone to know her father was in prison. She is dating all the right men; doctors, dentists, attorneys but why don't they make her think of forever after in bed? None of them seem to be able to hold her interest or even star in her dreams. Well, not like Chase the tattoo-covered steel-toed boot wearing contractor who saunters into the office where she works.
Chase, for all his gruff exterior, seems to have developed a soft spot for Jane and while she keeps turning him down he persists. When she decides to give herself one fantasy filled night with Chase he takes what he can get, and then decides that there is more to Jane than what she shows the world.
When Jane's brother becomes a murder suspect and her ex-boyfriend won't help, she will take all the help she can get. And this help comes in the form of Chase but, she is determined to walk away from him when it is all over. Except Chase doesn't give up much without a fight.
I am a huge fan of the Tumble Creek series with all of its contrasts between the large city of Aspen and the small town vibe of Tumble Creek. I think Ms. Dahl has definitely been able to pull off the feel of dichotomy of the different living experiences.
In Lead Me On you are able to look into the life of the well loved prim and proper Jane Morgan, who, if you have read the previous two books, will be a character you remember. I absolutely love what Ms. Dahl has done with the character of Jane with the back-story as well as with her interactions with Chase. While I was a little perturbed with how much of a witch she was with Chase, I love how the author has turned Lead Me On into a love story that you can see will stand the test of time. I am pleased to Joyfully Recommend Lead Me On in either print or audio formats.
Lead Me On was another well put together audio offering from HQN books. As usual the reader does a great job with the different characters and does not pull from the story but in fact adds to it.
