[Erotic Contemporary Romance] Jake Reynolds returns home to discover a racy Goldilocks sleeping in his bed. Instead of doing the first thing on his mind, or even the second, he hires her to organize his disorganized construction office. When his wealthy family meets the suggestively clad, polyester siren posing as Jake's assistant, they fear he's slipped back into his former role as the family bad boy. Harlee Davis didn't know she was sleeping in Jake's bed. She was seeking refuge from two storms--the storm raging outside and the storm created by her screwed-up life. When she learns that Jake plans to demolish the very camp she's been entrusted to preserve, Harlee mounts a crusade. They wage a war of wills while battling their conflicting interests on a professional level, and too much interest on a sexual level. One of them stands to lose everything in a game where there is no winner.** 5 Angels: I really enjoyed Harlee and Jake's story. They were the perfect match for each other--they definitely had chemistry going for them. Harlee may at times seem ditzy but when she put her mind to something or someone she could be smart about it. Jake was the ultimate ladies man but when it came to Harlee it was like she was back in high school trying to get a first date. I thought Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed was a great and appropriate title for the story. Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed was fun, whimsical, and full of romance. Jami Davenport sure kept my interest going with this story. Every time I found myself starting to take a break I went right back into reading more; before I knew it I was done. I can't wait to check out more books by Jami Davenport.--Cheryl, Fallen Angel Reviews.** 4 Stars Goldilocks never had it this good. I have always loved fairy tales--even fractured one. Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed is a delightful read. The characters are superbly written. Romance, suspense, and passion fill this book. I found a lot of humor in the character of Harlee. Fans of romantica will enjoy Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed. --Debra Gaynor, Review Your Book. ** Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed? is a Romance Writers of America's 2008 Golden Gateway 3rd Place Winner. less
