Impetuous - by Lori Foster
Rating: 4.5 / 5.0
Heat: 8/10
Genre: Contemporary
This is an older (1995) offering by Lori Foster and a little shorter (~250 pages). I was pleasantly surprised by how well it's held up. It did not feel dated at all.
The story starts off with a bang. The h has been coerced into attending a Halloween party in a risque harem girl costume. She ends up having a really hot one-night-stand with her best friend's brother-in-law, who she's kind of crushed on for a while. She slips away from him in the middle of the night and he never figures out who the masked harem girl was. The H becomes a little obsessed with finding out who she was.
In the meantime, the h and H end up working together on an after-school program for problem kids. The H finds out that the Frumpy little woman is kind, smart, funny and someone he really likes. He can't resist teasing her and trying to bring her out of her shell. Their banter and teasing is one of the best parts of the book. When he eventually figures out that this woman and his harem girl are one and the same, he's angry and lashes out.
For a shorter book, this was very satisfying. I really enjoyed seeing the H and h get to know one another and let go all their preconceived ideas about each other. I look forward to reading this again in a few years. And I don't say that about very many books.
