Taylor Milton. Gorgeous. Captivating. His ex!

When it's revealed to Daniel that Taylor Milton, whom he nearly proposed to after graduation, is his high-level visitor, he knows he's in trouble. Taylor's a flamboyant risk taker, where he's a cautious realist--it was the reason for their breakup!

Now, reunited, something else hasn't changed...their combustible sexual chemistry. In fact, it seems more intense, especially since Taylor is keen to play doctor. Tasked as her official escort, Daniel spends several wild nights keeping an intimate watch on her--until the powerful executive tries to pull rank on him in the bedroom!

About the author

Lori Wilde can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to write. She even went to nursing school so she could have a schedule flexible enough to allow her to write on the side. She nursed for 20 years, working in a variety of settings from the newborn nursery to the recovery room, to dialysis. But she never lost her desire to write.

She sold her first book in 1994 to Silhouette Romance but later discovered she had a flair for comedy and branched out to Harlequin Duets and now, to Blaze.

Lori is an adventuresome soul who loves to travel. She’s taken flying lessons, completed two marathons, rode in a hot-air balloon, performed with a professional jazz band, traveled Europe as a teenager, hiked volcanoes in Hawaii, trod on glaciers in Alaska, shot white-water rapids, water-skied, snow-skied, raced all-terrain vehicles, bodysurfed in the Gulf of Mexico, and photographed grizzly bears in Yellowstone.

She lives in her native Texas, with her own real-life hero, Bill.

I actually only got about halfway to two-thirds through this one before I had to give up on it. I'd completely forgotten why Wilde's name sounded familiar. The writing was fine, the plot was okay, pacing was a little slow, but not too bad. Sex behind the scenes at an aquarium during a party? Okay -- I still don't agree that no one can see you. Once it got to sex in a bed where he just automatically had silk ties on his bedposts without any explanation, discussion, or really any detail given at all on how that went, I was pretty much done. That's when I remembered that Lori Wilde was listed as one of the authors of general romance with a little kink to it during a recent conference presentation on erotica. I think I was more put off by the lack of acknowledging that this was in anyway unique or unusual behavior -- doesn't everyone keep silk ties on their bedposts? -- actually, no.

The book was a quick read. The storyline began out slow for the first two chapters then quickly picked up.
Daniel discovers that his task of being the personal escort to someone that he knows quite well will be a challenge.
The VIP is Daniel’s Ex, Taylor. The one he nearly proposed to after graduation.
Will Daniel be up for the challenge of keeping this VIP safe without her pulling rank on him?

Barely 2 stars. Very light on character and plot. Takes forever to start up and when it does it's very cliché : girl gave up boy because boy's mom told her she was no good for her baby boy. Oh and Casablanca is romantic but not a model on how to have a good relationship. Just saying. So this one is a miss.

The Right Stuff is a book about long lost love and rekindling the magic from years ago. This is an endearing book with characters that are instantly likeable and have heartfelt moments. A quick enjoyable read with some hot sexy scenes this instalment definitely deserves it's place in the Uniformly Hot series.

I really liked the ending of this book. I would read this one again. Everything was expressed well and the emotions were touching. Enjoy

I'd like to give it 2.5 stars but I can't. It was very eh for me. I didn't feel like the characters had any depth even for a Harlequin novel.
