IMPROPER ETIQUETTE by Janice Maynard

Janice Maynard http://www.janicemaynard.com/ , for anyone who hasn’t met her, is one of the sweetest, kindest, most genuine people you could ever want to know. Beneath that sweetly innocent exterior lies a closet vixen, a woman who can mix it up with romances that are emotionally and sensually fueled.
Janice writes seductive “sweeter” romances under her own name and more erotic tales as Elizabeth Scott .

Janice’s most recent release is an anthology titled IMPROPER ETIQUETTE, and it is wonderfully fun. The three stories in this anthology center around three woman who heed the advice they find in an antique lover’s handbook written by the very cheeky Miss Matilda. Here is my review:
When Francesca Fremont takes a meal to her new neighbor to welcome him to the neighborhood, they don’t exactly get off on the right foot. Despite their disastrous introduction, Francesca catches the eye of Brett Gilman. Brett has moved into the old fixer upper just to catch some breathing room from scandal that has his life in a shambles. It isn’t long before Francesca takes the sage advice of Miss Matilda’s writings and sets out to seduce Brett. The two are soon heating up the kitchen and every other room in the house.
Lily Lanford has her own guy to snag and she decides that Miss Matilda’s advice to play it cool might be just what it takes to heat things up with her neighbor, Ben Reynolds. Lily and Ben are very good friends and while Lily wants more, Ben seems oblivious. Lily decides to take a clue from Miss Matilda and play hard to get, and it isn’t long before Ben finds Lily simply irresistible and he wants to be more than just her next-door neighbor. Caitlyn Anderson is thrilled at the opportunity to serve on a mayoral-appointed committee whose purpose is the improvement of impoverished neighborhoods in her city. Duke Yancey is also serving on the committee. While the two are both hard-working, highly successful business owners, the similarity ends there. Caitlyn is poised and serious, a lady through and through, and Duke is a born ladies’ man, smooth, suave, and rarely serious, which thoroughly chafes Caitlyn. When these two get together, the fun – and the passion – are ever so sweet.
If you like romance with characters that are successful and sweet, and passions that are sizzling with depth, then this anthology is for you! I give it a high recommendation and hope that you’ll be tempted to get your own copy!

Thanks for stopping!
