Review on Picking Up the Pace, Jan. 23, 2006 -- 4 cups!**

Angie Mitchell is a strong-willed woman who works as a reporter for the Tribune. She finally gets the kind of recognition she has been looking for when her boss assigns her to report on crime. Right away, she lands a somewhat dangerous gig, one that puts her in an awkward position.      Beautiful, leather-clad singing sensation Lauren Lucelli brings plenty of inspiration and confusion to Angie's life with her sultry yet appealing ways. Lauren's laid back demeanor and quick wit is not only refreshing but helps teach Angie not to take herself so seriously all the time.      Between a lucrative scoop on a local murderer and falling for the luscious Lauren, there is little time for rest and relaxation. Unsure whether her attraction to Lauren holds any merit, Angie does a little soul searching to sort it all out. A treacherous storm gives her an excuse to act on her impulses and from there the pages literally heat up.      Picking Up the Pace is an exciting web of mystery and intrigue with splashes of humor and an endearing romance that develops between the two main women. The dialogue suits the quirky characters perfectly, especially the highly likable, Jimmy. What I liked best was the honesty Ms. LaFontaine brought to her characters in any situation they were presented with. Several steamy erotic scenes will keep you scrambling to the end. I look forward to reading the sequel to this high energy, provocative novel.      Nancy Jackson      Reviewer for Karen Find Out About New Books      Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance
