Watch Me

Harlequin Blaze, #710 - Stepping Up

Meagan Tippan is the producer of a dance reality show which seems to operating under a few handicaps, including a hostile assistant named Kiki Reynolds, a romantic tug of war going on between several of the contestants and a series of accidents that are causing rumors of a curse to circulate. The last thing she needs is to have her life complicated by a searing attraction for her hunky head of security, Sam Kellar. Sam is a Special Forces soldier who had to give up his dream of lifelong enlistment due to a serious leg injury. Meagan knows all about having a dream shattered and is determined to overcome all obstacles to produce a successful show which will validate her decisions. Sam is determined to help her achieve her goal and become part of her life, whether the feisty woman is prepared to accept him or not.

An entertaining novella that provides a look at all of the hard work involved in producing a reality show complete with backstabbing and ego-juggling. The attraction between two strong people who have had to overcome life-changing injuries vacillates between a sensual connection and the camaraderie resulting from an instinctive knowledge of what is important to the other person (and an unerring ability to push each other’s buttons). The tension that gradually ratchets up as the show progresses is a nice counterpoint to the changing relationship between Sam and Meagan. An enjoyable quick read.
