About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information.

New York Times Bestselling author, Leslie Kelly writes sexy romances and dark romantic thrillers. A four-time RWA RITA Award nominee, eleven-time Romantic Times Award nominee and 2006 RT Award winner, Leslie has become known for her delightful characters, sparkling dialogue, and outrageous humor in her romances, and for the dark grittiness of her thrillers. Since the publication of her first book in 1999, Leslie has gone on to pen more than forty sassy, sexy romances for Harlequin Temptation, Blaze, and HQN.

In 2009, Leslie began tapping into her love for dark suspense by penning several books under the pseudonym Leslie Parrish. The Black CATs and Extrasensory Agents series quickly put Leslie on the must-read list of romantic-suspense fans.

Tired of writing under various names, Leslie decided to go into her next genre--futuristic thrillers with a suspense element--under her real name. She released her dark, gritty Veronica Sloan books, and reissued the Black CATs series, as Leslie A. Kelly.

Leslie lives in Denver with her husband Bruce--her real-life romance hero. Visit her online at lesliekelly.com (for her sexy romances) or at leslieAkelly.com (for her romantic suspense.)

So Disappointed. Leslie Kelly is one of my favourite authors but this is the first book of hers that I disliked. Characters not written with her usual lightness and humour and I disliked both. Sort of DNF - skimmed to finish but very, very disappointed. 2 Stars

Found the writing in the second story a bit cliched for my taste. The Heroine made foolish decisions based on insta-lust from a Mile High Quickie. Not impressed with how she does business and her decision to run off with some guy in an expensive car, barely with her purse and not taking her phone and no one knowing where she was TSTL moment. Her immaturity was further displayed when finding photos of him with someone else, instead of asking or demanding to know what was going on, she disappeared and ran away back to the hotel with no word to him (WTF) and buried herself in work for a couple of days incommunicado...What??? Plot and character development and decision making felt more like an old style Harlequin Presents, rather than what I have come to expect from Harlequin Blaze. 1.5 stars

Apologies, but can not recommend. Overall Rating 1.5 Stars - Toasting from Ebook Library

Second book's ending was just "meh". It felt rushed. And forced.
