Roz saw her first book, Red Hot Pepper, published by Harlequin Books in February 1990. She has written for several Harlequin series lines as well as special projects and online serials. Besides being a writer Roz has worked as a medical secretary and as an administrative assistant for both an elementary school and a community college. Part of her love for writing came from moving around with her husband during his tenure in the Marine Corps and later as a telephone engineer. The richness of settings and diversity of friendships she's experienced continue to find their way into Roz's stories.
dopo oltre 80 pagine in cui si descrive un infiltrato travestito da pagliaccio per sfuggire alla malavita e una lei che non fa altro che guardare i suoi addominali scolpiti manco fosse jacob black in eclipse, passo la mano e leggo altro.
3 1/2 Stars ~ Daphne, ever optimistic, is constantly being underestimated by her family. Sure, not every choice she's made has been brilliant, but she's sorted her career out and is remarkably talented in makeup artistry. In between jobs, she's part-timing as a face-painting party clown, that's how she meets Logan. He's on the run from the mob after his undercover FBI position is exposed. While the goons search the neighbourhood, Logan sneaks into his sister's house where Daphne is performing for his niece's birthday. Clever Daphne dresses Logan as a partner clown and they escape the area. He's forced to hole up in her apartment, ordered by his superiors to stay put. Enter Daphne's smothering brothers; each sniff out Logan, warn him to keep his hands to himself, and then stick around to make sure Daph stays out of trouble. When Daphne's talent at creating disguises attracts to the eye of Logan's boss, she finds herself in the middle of the mob take down operation much to the up roar of her three brothers.
This is a fun and charming love story. Logan and Daphne share an instant chemistry that grows stronger with every moment spent together. Logan is impressed by Daphne's astute insights and is quick to defend her to her brothers. Daphne tends to jump in with all her heart which often lands her in some humorous situations. This is quick paced and a pleasure to read.
Probably my least favourite Roz Fox book. Honestly, I loved the characters, but the situations were too far fetched, and not believable at all.
Daphnew is a make up artist working as a party clown until she gets a big break. A chance encounter with an FBI agent during a child's birthday has her working to help him excape a gang of thugs, and getting her into heaps of trouble.
I guess I just felt that the basic plot and the avenues that Fox uses, as well as the ending, were far from realistic. But, still an okay read. She has a way of creating such wonderful characters, that I am still a fan.
