When He Was Bad...: Xmas/New Year (Harlequin Temptation) - Jane Sullivan This was a pretty good book about opposites. The heroine has just written a best selling book about bad boys and their appeal to women and how to avoid them, she considers herself an expert because her whole life she saw her mother give in to them again and again abandoning her. She is also a psychologist and she is not happy when her friend and publicist gets her a spot on the most outrageous radio show with the hero.

The hero has the reputation for being a bad boy and he lives up to it in their interview but that is in a way his persona that makes him who he is and he gets employment from it. The heroine gets an idea to interview him for her next book and their meeting doesn't end that well, with the hero making a pass and her almost falling for it.

I liked the book a lot, Nick may have come across as shallow and a jerk at the start but as we get to know him, he is really not, he just has two personalities and I loved it how he apologized and helped Sara when she is yet again abandoned by her mother. These two know that getting together will be bad for their careers but somehow they can't resist and spend the holidays together, talking, getting to know each other and making love.

I especially enjoyed the end quite a bit when the hero confronts who he wants to be head on and makes a big gesture to salvage Sara's reputation.

Tall, Dark and Texan - Jane Sullivan After the initial hiccups I found myself liking this book quite a bit.

The heroine is driving around in a trailer with whatever she owns to LA to become an actress since she wants to be a star, after living in a small town where everyone worked in a factory and with so many siblings, she felt invisible, so after living in New York for few years she knows LA is the place to be, she isn't delusional and knows what she is doing but she finds herself car-jacked in a shady street in Dallas and then rescued by a big man in motorcycle who takes her to his home in a ware-house where the guns make her think he is a criminal and she actually accuses him of that, pissing him off.

The hero is actually a bounty-hunter who did a good deed by saving her from freezing. All his life people have been intimidated by his size so he is kind of solitary. The heroine has nowhere to go and no money so he allows her to help him out on a job but that goes wrong but she somehow finds herself a job and then convinces him to let her stay with him.

Once the hero opened up he was a sweet-heart. He grew up in a tough neigbourhood where everyone wanted him in his gang because of his size but he wanted no part of it and then his brother got shot and he became a bounty hunter. He is lonely and he realizes so is the heroine, who thinks by getting a boob job and her face on magazine covers her life will be worth-while.

Soon they are lovers and he knows he loves her but is knows that she will leave. It takes her a little bit more time to realize she loves him, she does have a very stupid moment in the endwhere she walks into danger for money but the hero made the book for me.
