Quinton Moore was raised in affluence while Ashley Miles grew up with nothingness. However, the rich CEO breaks all his habits to the point he feels almost like an obsessed stalker just to spend a few minutes with the building¿s cleaning lady mid twenties Ashley Miles who recently kissed him senseless, but rejects his advances since. He wants her even on her terms she feels the attraction from her head to her toes and all points in between, but fears giving up her hard earned independence and life goals. Besides she has no time for a man between two jobs and school especially a hunk who will discard her once his lust is satiated. When someone threatens her life, Quinton demands she move into his home for her protection. She reluctantly agrees, but wonders who will protect her heart from her host. As they fall in love, this adversary expands his attempted assault to include anyone that he observes Ashley seems to befriend his goal to destroy the meddling woman. A secondary character in JUDE¿S LAW, Quinton defies his namesake¿s law with optimism that when it comes to Ashley and him, love makes sure that everything that can go right will go right though it might take all night. Ashley is a delightful protagonist as her hard work to get ahead is inspirational. Their mutual desires makes for a heated romance with a matchmaking thug pushing them together with his obsession to kill her (though the why comes extremely late). Harriet Klausner

Couldnt put it down!

I had Say No To Joe (favorite) and promptly read this book then all. This is my other favorite of Ms. Foster, totally enjoyed it. Keeps u giggling. And i had no problem with story (27 yr old virgin). Its entertaining, not biography or non fiction. Definitely worth the read.

Another Good Lori

This was another good one by Lori Foster. I genuinely like her books. This one was good, had a few slow parts, but still a good read.

great read!

I really enjoyed reading this book. I would suggest reading Jude's Law first which helps to set this one up. Ashley's honesty and upfrontness was a real treat...not one of those sappy girls!

Yes 27 Y/O Virgin.

Yes...there aren't many but who cares! I don't think this was meant to be based on a true story. I loved this book. I've never read this author, I will now. The best ending ever!!

27 Year Old Virgin?

This book was just awful I could barely make myself finsih it. To start with how many 27 year old virgins are there out in the world today? Let alone one who meets and falls in love with a multi millionair who is only too happy to school her love making gag. The sex sceens OMG I was embarrassed who needs to explain how to have sex? Ashley was an annoying touch girlwana be and Murphy please too sappy. As the book went on it just got worse.

Excellent!!!!!

This is another author I haven't read before but I enjoyed this book to the max!!! It has everything I love in a good book, mystery, love, two strong willed people and a lot of wit to it. It is a must read for anyone. Ed Ro

Another winner from Lori Foster!

Just when Ashley Miles has her life in control and headed in the right direction, she meets a man offering her the world all he wants in return is her heart.****** Ashley Miles has been on her own for so long that she doesn¿t know what to make of the attention being paid to her by Quinton Murphy. Ashley is being threatened by a ruthless murderer who is out for revenge. When Quinton discovers this his pursuit of Ashley intensifies and he is more determined than ever to have and protect her. The more Ashley discovers about Quinton, including a secret that he would prefer stay secret, the more difficult it becomes to resist his potent charm.****** Quinton Murphy is rich beyond belief, a very successful businessman, born with the proverbial silver spoon. He could have any woman he wants, any time he wants, and while Ashley isn¿t the most sophisticated woman he has ever known, she¿s the one that he finds adorable, the one he wants, and the one he is determined to have.****** Convincing Ashley that a life with him doesn¿t mean losing the independence that she has worked so hard to attain will take every bit of patience and persistence that Quinton can muster.****** Ashley¿s self-imposed solitude is heart-wrenching and her refusal to lean on anyone will have readers willing Quinton to be the one to reach her heart. Lori Foster once again gives readers a wonderfully romantic story - a touching tale of two people who couldn¿t be more opposite, or more perfect for each other.

Another Winner by Ms Foster

Ms. Foster has written another winner. This time the story is about to very different people. Quinton was born with every advance when Ashley was born with less than nothing. Ashley is determine to make it on her own without help from anyone. But when Ashley¿s life to in danger Quinton is determine to protect her. Wither or not Ashley wants it. This story has a good balance of romance (the steamy kind) and suspense. This book is visited by characters from Jude¿s Law but is a stand alone read. But Jude¿ Law is another must read. I have never been disappointed in a book with Lori Foster¿s name on it.

Another sizzling romance!

Ashley and Quinton are both, driven, determined and passionate. Each one of them is used to get their way, always. Ashley`s smart mouth and sexy looks have Quinton tied up in knots! The attraction is there and even though they are both from completely different backgrounds, Quinton is determined to see where their attraction leads. That is why, when Ashley¿s life is in danger Quinton step up to the task of ¿protecting¿ her. She has conflicting emotions about being taken care of. She is an independent working woman, used to do what needs to be done without counting on anyone, the only problem is, she is really enjoying all the caring and pampering. Quinton simply wants her safe. He cant bear the thought of anyone hurting Ashley and with the possessiveness he feels towards her, he is not about to let some threats get in his way. But something neither of them counted in the picture shows unexpectedly, and love have a way of always shining above all else. This is a hot & sexy, fun read, great storyline, and as always Lori¿s trademark of fresh, strong sexy characters shows in this outstanding, amazing romance! I must reaffirm once again, that like with all her books, you will not be disappointed with this one. It can be read as a stand alone, but you can get a better taste of the characters if you read Jude¿s Law first. Besides is another great book you will want to keep!

Murphy's Law is a keeper

Luckily for Quinton, he¿s an inventive sort of guy, and soon Ashley finds herself getting in way too deep with the handsome lug. Lust turns to love and Ashley absolutely has no time for love. Pfft, as if! With two jobs and school to boot, she barely has time to sleep and eat. And it doesn¿t help that Quinton turns out to be a genuinely nice guy. Underneath the expensive suits and beyond the muscled physique lay a heart of gold. Oh man, Ashley is such a goner........................However, not everyone is quite so captivated by Ashley Miles.

You Can't Go Wrong With This Read

More than a little romance and some good suspense in this story of the lovely Ashley who is determined to make something of her life on her own and to maintain her hard-earned independence. But come on! Who can resist the glorious Quinton? Not Ashley. Foster has written another good story here.

This one is my favorite !!!

This is without a doubt my favorite book of Ms. Foster !! I feel in love with Quinton Murphy and Ashley Miles during the first kiss in JUDE and I'm been dying for this book every since. Ashley has a smart mouth that will get her in all kinds of trouble, but will have you laughing your head off. Quinton is a 'rich guy' but he is so different that what Ashley that he would be. The particular scene that drove that home to me just really clenched this book to me and you'll love the whole book.

Don't miss this book!!!

Ashley Miles is a hard-working, goal-oriented woman. She works two jobs and goes to school trying to make a better life for herself. Her busy schedule doesnt give her time for much else, but there is one very determined man who will do any and everything he can to be the extra-curricular activity she makes time for. Quinton Murphy is the kind of man I wouldn't mind spending my spare time with (if he wasnt a fictional character and I wasnt married of course :). He is gorgeous, hard-working and also happens to be a wonderful guy! What more can a girl ask for? Quinton is determined to get to know Ashley. She isn't his usual type, but there's just something about the spunky, unique, workacholic that he can't get enough of. Her brutal honesty and scortching kisses ignite a fire in him that isn't easy for him to ignore. When danger finds its way to Ashley's front door, Quinton vows to keep her safe. Ashley is the perfect blend of independant, yet also knowing when she may need help. The more time they spend together, Quinton begins to realize he wants to be more than just an extra-curricular activity to this very special woman. Ashley was my favorite kind of heroine. She was strong, yet vulnerable. She was sacracstic, honest, and unique. Seeing the milionaire, buisnessman fall for his office cleaning lady gives every woman out there hope that anything can happen. MURPHY'S LAW was a funny, passionate romance. Ashley and Quinton were both a breath of fresh air and were each uniquely special characters. Their story was everything I was hoping for and more.

Murphy's Law is sweet and hot

'Murphy's Law' follows Lori's previous release 'Jude's Law', and readers will be thrilled to re-visit favorite characters from that book in her latest release. Quinton Murphy has been intrigued by fiercely independent Ashley Miles from the very beginning, but she won't give him the time of day. It isn't until they share a fireworks kind of a kiss that he realizes the attraction goes both ways, but the frustrating Miss Miles still refuses to act on those feelings with him. In fact if Quinton wasn't so self-confident, Ashley would deflate his ego like a balloon. He's never known a woman who is not impressed by what he has, and having to work so hard just to go out on a date with this maddening woman frustrates him, but it also gets his attention in a big way. Ashley has not had an easy life, but you won't find her crying about what she doesn't have. No, this woman has goals, and she's not afraid of a little hard work, or lack of sleep, in order to make them happen. After all, God granted her with plenty of energy and determination, and blessed her with May, the best friend Ashley could ever have imagined. Now her attraction to Murphy, as well as a persistent danger, threaten to wreck all of her carefully laid plans. But sometimes fate has other ideas, and sometimes those new plans are exactly what you need.... I have to say that I think Ashley is one of my favorite Foster heroines, right up there with Cyn. What I love most about her is that she's unapologetic about who she is. Determined to make it on her own, Ashley really gets her dander up when Quinton tries to coddle her, but is intelligent to know when she needs to assistance. She has pride and stubbornness, but not stupidity, thank God: many a heroine have been ruined by the 'too stupid too live' complex, yet fortunately Ashley is not one of them. She knows it's not a sign of weakness to ask for help when there are no other realistic options, and she's mature enough to do just that. And she doesn't soften up with just a few flattering words from Quinton either. If he wants to be with her, he has to take her as she is, and if he has a problem with that, well, tough. Then he's going to have to deal with it, not her. Quinton is the perfect complement to our prickly heroine: strong, self-assured, with an old-fashioned work ethic and an abiding love for children that endears him to his lady. Murphy may have grown up with all the privileges Ashley was forced to do without, but he does not believe he is entitled to a free ride. Instead he gives back, again and again, and there is no greater joy than in helping others reach their full potential. The lovely and fascinating Ashley does not fall right into his arms, which intrigues him, but it's her own work ethic and generous heart that has him falling head over heels in love. Life will never be boring with his little endearing tyrant -and Murphy just has to convince Ashley of this, which he will do with pleasure. The exchanges between the two are amusing and invigorating, and Ms. Foster has a way of writing hot love scenes that are lush, romantic, and sexy in the way they enfold, yet not too explicit or overpowering for the story. Physical intimacy between two consenting and mature adults is something to be embraced, not something to be embarrassed about and certainly not anything to be ashamed of, and in a Foster story that is exactly what you can expect: earthy, passionate scenes that show how being responsible and considerate of your partner can be very sexy and fulfilling. Turn up those fans, readers!

Lori does it again!!!

If you thought that Jude's Law was great, you will NOT be disappointed with Murphy's Law. You first meet Ashley and Quinton in Jude's book and right away you are dying to know what happens between them. I could not put this book down, the writing is phenomenal, the characters sizzle and the story is just amazing, it really does get you hooked from the first page. Kudos to Lori Foster for bringing out YET another winner, she never disappoints :)
