Ah, Travis, the youngest McVicker brother, has arrived, just in time for curling up on the couch as the weather turns chilly. Believe me, he and Morgan will help keep you very warm!!
***********

ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYWAY – A trilogy
Behind the ordinary façade of the workaday world, Gage, Chase and Travis McVicker have more to their backgrounds than meets the eye, because their best quality -- passionate sex -- is one skill you won't find on their resumes.

Book 3
Travis McVicker, a reporter for a Boston newspaper, focuses most of his attention on undercover exposés of corrupt businesses. Currently, though, he would rather be under the covers with Morgan Gentry, a former classmate who has started to work at the same paper. In the midst of discovering a passion they had felt but never consummated years before, Morgan becomes involved in a dangerous scheme to expose a group of corrupt doctors and it takes every investigative skill Travis has to find her before it’s too late.
    


Excerpt

“Oh my, TJ, come look at this,” Morgan called from the bathroom.

He came up behind her and stared at the sunken marble tub, which had Jacuzzi jets on the sides and was big enough for four people.

“Christ, I’m in the wrong job,” was his immediate reaction. “How could Percy afford to stay here?”

“Don’t investigators usually get their fee plus expenses?”

He shrugged. “Yeah, you’re right. If the doc’s wife was here, he would have to get a room across or close by in order to keep an eye on her.”

Morgan started digging through her bag. “You go snoop around and see what you can find. I’m going to take advantage of that tub.”

Travis went out on the patio, surveying the rooms that could barely be seen across the garden...That’s when he heard the water running into the tub. Because he had been thinking about a story, Morgan’s initial comments about taking a bath had somehow slipped right past him. How the hell that happened, he couldn’t figure, because right now, all he could think about was her behind the closed bathroom door.

He started toward the patio, listening to the water splash. He should check out the room numbers.

He walked to the bathroom door instead.
He should search the room; maybe the police had missed something.

She turned on the Jacuzzi jets, the sound of pulsing water beckoning him. He closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against the door. He imagined her lying back against the tub, letting the water move against her body. Her naked body.

How did she expect him to take their relationship slowly when she did this? She had agreed to one room, knowing full well what that meant. Then she had decided to take a bath. It was more than a man could take.

“Morgan, I’m coming in,” he called through the door, listening intently. She didn’t answer.

“Morgan?” This is her last chance, he thought, turning the knob and finding that she hadn’t locked the door.
He couldn’t have spoken her name again once he entered the bathroom. He could only stare at the goddess reclining in the bubbling water. She had pulled her hair up on top of her head but a few stray strands curled around her temples. She had her head back, eyes closed, her arms resting along the rim of the tub. The water glistened over her creamy skin and swirled around her breasts, just barely covering her nipples that were still visible beneath the waterline.

“What took you so long?” Morgan asked...

Uncovering More Reviews!
Travis and Morgan are a great pair. I loved their verbal sparring, and the way both handled each other. Ms. Baldwin crafts believable characters and a mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. The romance and action work well together, keeping the story moving along at a quick pace. I also liked the fact that even though this is part of a series, the book stood on its own. I didn’t feel as if I was missing anything, but now I do want to read the other books.

Ms. Baldwin has another winner with FANTASIES UNDERCOVER. The characters, both the hero and the heroine, are multidimensional and easy to relate to. The dialogue is snappy and at times amusing enough to have this reader on the floor in laughter, especially when all of the McVicker brothers get together. And there is that thread of tension that waxes and wanes yet never fades. This reviewer recommends FANTASIES UNDERCOVER to any reader who enjoys romantic suspense and contemporary romances with a twist.

***********
Absolutely wonderful! Ms. Baldwin has penned a story with such vivid reality you feel part of the tale. Exceptional characters, you will love Travis as he is such the typical male, and cheer Morgan on for her strength and independence. Light and sometimes funny dialogue, I could not help but snicker at some of Travis’s remarks. Brimming with steady action and intrigue, these two are constantly on the go. Sensual love scenes are woven in to all of this, creating a exciting and entertaining read, you will not want to put down. An absolute delight.
