Dillon After Dark
He was definitely a bad boy!
San Diego deejay Dillon Danvers was not Dr. Kristina Jordan's type. His long, shaggy, blond hair, bedroom eyes and seam-busting shorts spelled trouble. But his velvet voice seduced Kristina--and all the other women in town--night after night on the airwaves.. . .
Dillon was all wrong for the conservative doc. His favorite playground was a mattress, second only to a surfboard. Kristina had a teenager to raise, a practice to run. She wanted a one-woman man, not a sexy fiend adored by hundreds of fans. But Kristina couldn't stay away from Dillon--especially after dark.

Dillon After Dark aka So I Married My Daughter's Crush
Dillon Danvers is a laid-back California DJ who airs a talk/ music show called Dillon After Dark, where he discusses just about everything: surfing, books, music, nightclubs, and all the other fun things in life. Dr. Kristina Jordan is a psychologist and single mother with no time for relaxation. Together these two opposites could make for a sexy couple. However, Kristina needs major convincing to be part of it.
Kristina's teenaged daughter, Julianne, is absolutely ga-ga over Dillon. His sexy voice makes her adolescent hormones run wild. She's a frequent caller to his show, making herself seem older than her tender years and complaining about her overbearing mother. Julianne enters a poetry contest for the show and wins the grand prize! A date with Dillon! Her mother thinks this is all silly nonsense And is appalled by her daughter's behavior. She's merely fourteen, while Dillon is twice her age!
Against her better judgment, Kristina agrees to let Julianne meet Dillon, but on the condition that she accompany them on their date. Of course, upon seeing that the contest winner is a mere child, everyone is shocked, and the situation is thrown into disarray. Julianne is pushed aside as the producers and press claim it's Kristina who's Dillon's date.
Kristina's shocked as well. Her reaction to Dillon is an immediate attraction, and his smooth voice plays havoc upon her senses. He looks as good as he sounds with shaggy blond hair and cool surfer vibes.
Dillon, too, is shocked. He had no idea his most frequent caller was just a kid and that the haranguing mother she spoke of wasn't some post-menopausal nag with empty nest syndrome but a beautiful, sensual woman in her mid-thirties.
Dillon, obviously, has no interest in his young fan; he's got all eyes for Mom. He pursues her relentlessly to Julianne's dismay. Kristina knows what it was like to be a wild youth. Still, responsibilities weighed her down: being a young mother, dealing with a lousy, beach-bum of a partner who ran off to abandon his responsibilities, putting herself through college and university; and then focusing on her intense career. She has her work and her patients, her daughter, and her elderly father who lives with them to worry about. Kristina doesn't have time for dating, much less date a carefree, younger man like Dillon.
Dillon tries his best to charm his way through Kristina's icy exterior and ease his way into her warm inner core. (Oh, that sounds terrible, doesn't it?) He's got his work cut out for him as Kristina is a hard woman, and Julianne resents their relationship.
Dillon After Dark was the second Leandra Logan romance I read, and I enjoyed her writing just as with her previous work. This book was a steamy category romance with a yummy hero. However, Kristina's a bit of an uptight pill, and Julianne's teenage antics get tiresome (yes, I know what I wrote was redundant). The book has been re-released in e-format and slightly modernized for a new audience. Overall this was a pleasant diversion to enjoy, especially if you're a fan of heroes in pursuit.
It does make for an awkward "So how did you guys meet?" story, though.
