An important marketing account is up for grabs and junior marketing agent Gabby is going to go all out to snag it, even if it means competing against iron-man & resident office hottie Dell in a outdoor weekend challenge. Nevermind that she's not an outdoors type and he the king of extreme sports. Whats she lacks in experience is made up in knowledge of her gear and she may just give Dell a run for the account and his heart.

WOW! Who knew a harlequin could be so good! I generally read full length novels of the decidedly more-serious-romance type, but this was a very satisfying mini-read. Some serious sexual tension in this one with lots of sparks flying all over the place. The 'competition' part was the best and it was a hoot to read when the heroine scored points. The romance was jut right too, sort-of teased you all throughout till near the end -which was *steamy*!

Overall a fun and pleasurable read. No brain required with some good romantic fluff.

Part of the "Adrenaline Rush" miniseries.
Sweet and clumsy Gabrielle Flannery is determined not to be overlooked anymore and armed with a new makeover asks her boss for the account Dell Kingston believes should be his. They compete for the account on a wilderness weekend where Gabrielle presents more of a challenge than Dell ever expected. Resisting their mutual attraction turns out to be the greatest challenge of all. A fun story, and a satisfying ending.

I read this book over the weekend and found it surprisingly enjoyable. It's a story of an office romance between Dell and Gabrielle, two marketing account managers who vie for the same major sporting good account. To decide who will get the account (and to make sure HR doesn't think the boss is favoring Dell), they spend a long weekend competing in a survival wilderness contest where the winner gets the account. At first it appears to be a very uneven competition that favors Dell, but Gabrielle is determined. The author really does her magic here, and it becomes a very entertaining story of wits vs. brawn. And will vs. luck. And privileged vs. unprivileged. It was a fun read, and not at all predictable. And it was sexy too. Dell and Gabby make a great couple. I much prefer romance novels where the sex scenes include passion, (instead of sex just for the sake of having sex), and this book delivers that very well. The ending could have been a bit stronger, but it really didn't take away from how much I enjoyed it. As Blaze books go, this one was great.
