Product Description

In another time and place, the words "I'll leave as soon as you give me what I want," might have a nice ring to them. But standing in a Chicago hotel room with a cub reporter - as obstinate as she is hot, FBI agent Derek Knight knows he has to play it charming. Something like, "by holding on to that evidence, you're interfering with FBI business, ma'am, and by the way, those long, gorgeous legs of yours would look awfully good wrapped around my..." Sure, losing all sense of professionalism may not help his career, but the off-duty perks would be sensational.. Reese Hampton is not giving up the envelope she found in her rental car - the one with the story that could take her from journalistic Siberia straight to the front page. She'll just have to outsmart the certifiably insane Fed with the movie-star good looks. Dodge and weave. Distract and bed. No! Bad hormones, bad! Still, spending time with that unbelievably broad chest up close, and personal might just add, um, depth to her story. If only she can let her robe down while keeping her guard up.

Customer Reviews

This book is a must read!
When FBI agent Derek Knight realizes that his informant left evidence for Derek in the wrong rental car and a very sexy woman is about to drive away with the evidence, he tries to get it back but instead he ends up scaring her away. Journalist Reese Hampton thinks it's too bad that this hot hunk of a man who approaches her turns out to be some kind of creepy stalker and she takes off in the car as fast as possible. When they finally meet up again and things are explained, Reese decides that she should work with Derek to help him bring down the drug manufacturing company that is fixing prices and in return she gets first dibs on the news story that could turn her career around. And it doesn't hurt that they both have the hots for each other. What could be wrong with indulging in a little fling while working on the case?

Both Derek and Reese were lovable, interesting characters. If you read this book, be ready for laugh out loud scenes, witty dialogue, sizzling chemistry and steamy love scenes! The suspense was very well written and well plotted. I couldn't put this book down! This book a sexy, fun-filled ride from start to finish!

Erin McCarthy is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. SMART MOUTH is a not to be missed book! If you haven't read anything by Erin McCarthy yet, pick this one up and see for yourself what a great author she is. I know you'll want to pick up the rest of her books!

Another Winner By Ms. McCarthy!!!
Ms. McCarthy is now an automatic buy for me. Her latest novel managed to combine, wit, humor, suspense, drama, and of course steamy romantic feelings between Reese and Derek or heroine and hero.

These are not perfect characters and I think this was one of the reason's why I liked them so much. Reese is a "little spoiled aspiring for a real by-line reporter", and Derek is a " I better not screw this one up or else my brilliant FBI agent career is memorex" kind of guy. Despite these flaws these two characters really shine and their chemistry and growing relationship is HOT!!! Basically you have a mix up when an informate to a big case that Derek has been working on for a long time leaves his information in the wrong car. The car just so happens to be the rental car that Reese has contracted out for her stay in the windy city while she covers a society wedding. Could her life be more boring? Not for long, before either one of them knows it they have both found what they haven't been looking for and nothing will be the same.

This was a fun, fast paced read that as stated earlier combines great characterization, fun plotting, and great chemistry between the two main characters. This read is quite sensual but not over done, and certainly not used as page filler. Plenty of laugh out loud moments as well as some great secondary characters that I feel may just call out for their own story. Ms. McCarthy is now an author I will purchase simply because her name is on the cover. Who said you can't judge a book by it's cover?

Great Book!!!!
I loved this book by Erin McCarthy. It was fast moving and really kept my interest. I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Reese Hampton is a journalist and accidently finds evidence that FBI agent Derek Knight needs for a case and he wants it back. She knows she's onto a story and she isn't giving it up. The chemistry between these two are wonderful to watch unfold. This is an automatic keeper on my bookshelf. I have never been disappointed by anything Erin McCarthy writes. Another wonderful book.
