Looking for Lacey

IN THE GAME OF SEDUCTION, HE WILL ACCEPT NOTHING LESS THAN TOTAL SURRENDER. When prim and proper Lacey Wright decided to start a new life, she never dreamed she�d be managing a sports bar. But she is determined to make it work even if she is a bit out of her element. The only thing standing in the way is her recklessly charming new boss�a man she finds totally infuriating . . . and completely irresistible. There isn�t a woman in all of Texas who can resist sexy and confident football legend Bobby McIntyre�no one, that is, except the prissy new bar manager who gets his blood pumping. She�s not interested in his money or his fame, and she sees through the macho act he shows the world. But when the tables are turned and it�s Lacey who demands total surrender, can Bobby Mac afford the high stakes in a game of true love? From Booklist When single mother Lacey Wright fudges her resume to get a job as business manager of a Texas sports bar owned by football quarterback Bobby McIntyre, she hopes not to have to contend with him. Lacey is prim, proper, and protective; Bobby is schmoozy, laissez-faire, and tolerant, and the two are like oil and water, squaring off from the beginning despite an undeniable attraction. Although Bobby wants to fire her even though his beloved sister has hired her, he doesn't, because as she learns later, his own mother abandoned him, and he won't punish another mother who is trying to keep her child with her. Eventually he helps Lacey relax and rediscover the passionate woman within, while she helps him acknowledge all the painful feelings about his own abandonment. Their story is paralleled by the first-love story of Lacey's 16-year-old daughter, whom she desperately does not want to make the same mistakes and get pregnant like she did. Adept at Victorian historicals, Lee also excels in this contemporary. Mary K. Chelton Copyright � American Library Association. All rights reserved Review �Fun, sexy, cool . . .
