Maggie Barlowe has learned not to trust anyone given her past history with an alcoholic father. Now catching her fiancé with his pants down with another woman, Maggie's trust has again been compromised. Planning only a sex filled one-night fantasy, she heads to a manly auto show explicitly to pick up that fantasy. The hunky Hunter Cross is just the guy. Too bad he's a soldier as Mags would like to avoid anyone with a background like her father.

After a mind blowing one night stand of surrendering to hot sex with Hunter, Maggie is mortified to learn the next day he happens to be her army liaison for the book she is commissioned to write. Spending a week at her New York home with the hottest man she has ever encountered, blows her mind. Not only extracting information from him for the book but the extracurricular activities during the night of sex has Mags having second thoughts of her wisdom. Hiding the true circumstances of the cowboy soldiers and their mission, the reason behind Hunter's bullet wound is being kept from Maggie until Hunter is sideswiped by his feelings for the sexy woman. But what will happen when she finds out he has been purposely misleading her to make sure the outcome of her book is exactly the way he has engineered it?

This very hot and sexy book is a steaming read with an excellent story line. A beautiful woman who lacks trust and a soldier who is unable to promise the stability needed in her life because of his family obligations and his love of his risky job keeps them at odds. Sara Jane Stone has completely nailed her vision of what is going on in both of their minds and easily portrayed that to the reader. This author is extremely talented and kept my complete interest throughout the entire story. COMMAND PERFORMANCE is my first by Sara Jane Stone, but not the last! Thank you, Sara, for a great read!

Book Summary

Subject: Chief Warrant Officer Hunter Cross

Mission: Keep Margaret Barlow distracted...using any means necessary!

Ranger Hunter Cross is the army poster child—excitement, danger and no strings in sight. And he's been in town exactly three hours before a curvy blonde named Maggie flashes him a look that says "You belong in my bed." It's a night of wicked satisfaction. And it's a night they can never repeat....

All Professor Maggie Barlow wanted was an orgasm—or three— from the dead–sexy Ranger. Having him as her official army liaison while she works on her new book? That wasn't in the plan. Especially when she learns that Hunter has orders to "control" her. Little does the army know that when it comes to their deliciously naughty nighttime activities, Hunter is at Maggie's complete command....

Uniformly Hot! The Few. The Proud. The Sexy as Hell.
