Red Letter Nights #2
Give Me Fever
New Orleans lounge singer Tally Addison has a problem: her employer at The Blue Note is selling the business, and Tally's desperate to buy the sultry jazz club. But how's she going to land the cash? Simple as black bottom pie.
Tally's in possession of an authentic Gabriel Dampier treasure map, penned by the great pirate himself. Or at least she's holding a tattered portion of it. Her brother ripped off most of it by mistake...and now he's missing.
The only person Tally trusts to find her brother -- and her lucrative map -- is sexy P.I. Christien Castille. But can she trust herself when the dark-eyed Cajun heartbreaker is near?

Two of her novels made the Waldenbooks Bestseller list in 2003. Published since 1997, she currently writes for the Harlequin Romantic Suspense line. Karen’s love of reading is what ultimately led her to writing romance.
Karen came to romance early when, at sixteen, her Valentino-loving grandmother gave her The Sheik to read. Ever since that day she devoured romance in all types of genres including: historical, western, fantasy, time travel, and science fiction. It wasn’t until she started reading contemporaries that she couldn’t find the type of books she wanted to read. That’s when she thought she would try her hand at writing one herself.

This was an interesting read for me, as I selected it for its ability to meet about 6 different reading challenges with one book. Go, multi-tasking me! I used to be addicted to the Blaze line of Harlequin books, for its modern romance, a quickly resolved plotline, and of course, smexy good times. Now, I still like the first two, but found myself ho-humming through the sex scenes. I must be getting really old. Or, really sickly.
I digress.
Give Me Fever is a fun read, about a lounge singer named Tally with lots of unaccomplished ambitions and an aversion for romance, a cock-blocking twin sister, and half a pirate's treasure map that could get her the money she needs to purchase the blues lounge where she currently sings. Cue in the Ragin' Cajun, whose name I've totally misplaced, but that's all right. Just know he's smexy hot, makes a great breakfast and gumbo too, and will lick you sidewise while whispering sweep nothings into your ear in French. I wonder if he drink chicory coffee?
I digress again.
The Ragin' Cajun is a disgraced cop, a current PI, and he agrees to help find Tally's missing brother, who's unknowingly absconded with the missing half of the treasure map. Add in a pair of 200 year old ghosts, an ancient curse, and a mission to get a new display in the wing of New Orleans's history museum, and you have a wonderful little romance with lots of Tabasco heat, some paranormal activity, and a blues songstress who needs to find her inner courage. Yup, good times, and a good read. Well done.
