Up All Night by Joanne Rock

When Jenny Moore finally convinced herself to attend a conference, which might help her overcome her fear of open spaces, it was due in part to the talks she had had with Dave Brady over the Internet for the last several months. How could she pass up the opportunity to meet someone who was kind and gentle? However, when Jenny met Dave in person for the first time, a sexy waitress captured Dave’s attention leaving Jenny alone and feeling worse than ever. Afterward, Jenny worked up the nerve to invite Dave to visit her room in the middle of that night for some hot sex – only to find that Dave had given her Devon Barnes' email address in place of his own.

When Devon walked into Jenny’s room, he was amazed at the lovely lady before him. It nearly made him forget how Dave had forced Devon to quit his job at the company he loved. However, this accidental meeting was to change both their lives forever as Jenny gave Dave the strength to fight for his job, while Dave gave Jenny the strength to overcome her fears.

This is another story in The Wrong Bed series and perhaps the best one of the series. I like the way Joanne pitted Dave against Devon as he tried to regain what he lost. The plot did have a few contrived elements, particularly those that ultimately lead to Dave’s downfall. On the other hand, this was one of the best Blazes I’ve read since Temptation and Flipside were canceled. I truly liked the story and the characters and can’t wait to read Joanne’s next book.

Bottom line: A great book
