review 1: Command Performance was both seductive and intelligent. I've read many romance novels that I couldn't connect with... the characters were too sterile, or the plot was too simple or predictable, but Hunter and Maggie were both wonderful (and believable!) characters, and the book was well-paced and interesting. Maggie alternately wrestles with her dreams, responsibilities, and sexual desires in a way that I found very entertaining and accessible... she was a sexy everywoman, not an impossible and unbelievable sex goddess (but don't worry, the sex is HOT!). The plot is well-organized, the buildup to the sex is tantalizing, and yet Maggie and Hunter still keep the reader guessing... when I was finished, I found myself wishing for a few more steamy chapters. I can't wait for Ms... more. Stone's next book!
review 2: For those readers not familiar with the Harlequin Blaze line, suffice it to say that the author must pack a lot of punch in a short book. And author Sara Jane Stone wins this one with a knock-out story of two lovers who agree to one, single orgasm-filled night of passion. But fate intervenes and changes everything. Hunter Cross is a Ranger with wounds physical and emotional. Professor Maggie Barlow keeps a tight rein on her heart because she's finally ready to live after a life spent caring for others. She's looking for tenure and a successful publishing career writing about a daring Ranger rescue of aid workers. What she gets is her official liasion: Hunter Cross - and he's under orders to keep her under control. And control is what it's all about, in the bedroom and out. One night becomes more and hearts are all too soon engaged. Stone's novel is lush, rich, filled with an incredibly rendered sensuality that makes the pages sizzle even as you sigh with the romance. The dark sides of the characters are explored and explained. The setting is immediate and homey-familiar. I could not stop reading this book and was sorry to see it end. But it was a roller-coaster ride of perfectly rendered emotion, passion, drama and humor that had me breathless at the end. And amid the perfect moments was one absolutely shining star - you'll know it when you read it. And when you do? I dare you not to fall madly in love with Hunter Cross. And be of so jealous of Miss Maggie. Don't miss this book, and don't forget the author's name because you will want everything she writes on your keeper shelf. less
