Excitement, danger, and falling for the man of her dreams all have Grace Under Pressure. College professor Grace Michaels has enough on her plate with her research, her ex-fiance showing up in town, her parents parking their RV in front of her house, and her attempt to entice her sexy neighbor, new sheriff, Ren Morello, into having an affair, when someone breaks into her house and office. Ren wants nothing to do with Grace. So what if she looks like a pinup girl from the 50's or that every time she's in his vicinity, he sports a hard-on? She is a woman who would demand commitment and after his nasty divorce from his cheating ex-wife, Ren wants nothing to do with marriage. All he wants is hard fast sex. The problem is, the only woman he can picture it with is Grace. When the threats to Grace turn almost deadly, Ren finds himself in her company more often than not, and keeping his hands off her becomes impossible. But as the danger grows closer, the attraction grows deeper, and Grace must chose between protecting her heart or her life. Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language. This book has been previously published.… (mehr)

I really appreciate the humor this author includes in her books. The sexual tension between the main characters was definately hot, I would have enjoyed more of a peek at the romance between the secondary characters, but still a good read all in all.

Grace may not be the personification of her name, but really...a tumble down the stairs, a poisoned casserole, almost being hit by a car. Why would anyone want to kill a mild-mannered history professor?

Mild-mannered? Who does she think she's kidding? She's one of the hottest, sexiest women Ren has ever seen and all he can think of when he lays eyes on her is laying her!! She may be clumsy, but someone is trying to kill her and he will protect her--whatever it takes ( )

Men and romance are not on Grace Michaels’ list of priorities. Really, they aren’t. She spends her time working and on her research. At least, that was true before the sexy new Sheriff showed up next door. And on her doorstep – over and over again. The word ‘no’ just doesn’t seem to be in her vocabulary when Ren Morello is around.

Ren isn’t cut out for a relationship. All he wants is good old-fashioned sex without commitment. Ren keeps telling himself that, but finds it harder to believe the more he is around Grace.

When a break-in at Grace’s home turns into a string of attacks on her life, it Ren’s duty as Sheriff to protect her, and there is no place he’d rather be.

From the very first book I ever read by Melissa Schroeder, I was an instant fan, and she has not let me down yet! Grace Under Pressure is another fantastic book from this author, and is guaranteed to garner new fans that may pick this one as their first Melissa Schroeder title.

Grace is a heroine that almost any woman can readily identify with. Her insecurities, her pain, her fears are those common to most of us, making it an easy thing to picture oneself in her shoes. Even with all of that, compounded with the danger she is currently in, she never quite loses her sense of humor, endearing her to both the reader and to Ren himself.

Every woman can use a Ren Morello in her life. Strong, sexy, and noble, he is everything you can dream up in a hero – if he can just get past that little quirk that has him believing he isn’t cut out for a relationship… Of course, it is just that little quirk that makes watching him fall, however reluctantly, for Grace all the more delicious!

While the romance is definitely in the forefront of this story, there is also a very prevalent mystery in the plot. My favorite romance novels are those that have a story that can stand alone even if you removed the romance portion of it, and this one could definitely fill that requirement! Of course, who would WANT to remove the romance, especially when it is as hot as it is in Grace Under Pressure?!
