Product Description
How do you have a life when everyone in America thinks you gave the president-elect a fatal heart attack during an illicit sex romp?
Emma Jamison never thought she'd have to answer that question, but here she is, smack dab in the middle of a political scandal that would make Monica Lewinsky blush. Trouble is, nobody believes that Emma wasn't the call-girl who killed the president-to-be with her, uh, carnal skills.
So Emma packs up and moves to small-town Chartreuse, LA, to escape her infamy and to start over. But when her grandmother starts dating the grandfather of district attorney Max Duval, the quiet life she was seeking blows up in smoke.

No one believes Emma Jamison when she swears that she is just the butler at the Mulendoff estate and not the person who slept with the married president-elect Robert Ferguson when he died from a heart attack. Instead as she tries to reclaim her wrecked reputation she loses her business and her house. Emma takes a job in Chartreuse, Louisiana at the assisted living facility where her beloved grandmother lives even though the townsfolk like all of American assume she is the happy hooker.
Max Duval meets Emma and is attracted to her, but believes she is guilty in spite of her insistence she is innocent. However Max plans to avoid the happy hooker as he is running for public office and she can only destroy his chances of winning especially since his opponent believes in negative campaigning. However, his avoidance strategy goes astray when her grandmother and his grandfather apparently become lovers; that forces him to spend time with irresistible Emma as he considers becoming the second politician he believes she slept with.
BETWEEN THE SHEETS is a fascinating contemporary romance starring a likable lead character whose reputation is ruined yet she keeps her head up high. Although insisting that she was not the he hooker, Emma is in many ways is like Monica Wolinsky who has kept her head high and has achieved plenty of earned success since her fifteen minutes of notoriety fame. The grandparents and Max add strength to a refreshing interesting character study starring a maligned yet argent heroine who holds her head up in spite of media and public ridicule (you go Monica – you earned it).

Emma Jamison is the temporary butler preparing for President-Elect Ferguson’s weekend stay at her client’s mansion. While Ferguson is occupied by a call girl upstairs, the Secret Service try to distract Emma. But something goes wrong and Emma finds herself being hastily run out of the house and straight into the paparazzi’s flashing cameras.
The President-Elect has a heart attack and Emma is accused of being in bed with him when it happened. Her life has been destroyed by tabloids and lies so she moves to Chartreuse, Louisiana to start over working in the retirement home her grandmother lives in. She can’t get away from the spotlight though.
Max Duvall is intrigued and attracted to Emma but he’s running for District Attorney and can’t afford any negative press. Unfortunately he can’t stay away from her. The more he gets to know her, the more he likes her, and he’s starting to wonder if maybe she’s telling the truth when she says she didn’t do it. Proving her innocence isn’t going to be easy but Max decides that if he wants any kind of a future with her, he has to help her, even if it means losing his campaign.
Between The Sheets is sexy, funny and romantic. The folks in the retirement home are very sweet. My heart went out to them as they struggled with dementia. Max is sexy and Emma is sweet. They are good together right from the start. Things seemed to go from bad to worse for Emma, but because of Max, they get better and better!

I was excited to get this book from my local library since reading all the great reviews here, but unfortunately my opinion differs — a lot. I found the book to be SLOW paced and way too drawn out. Sure it had some funny parts, but not much else to make up for the tedium of 382 pages that should have been edited down to at the most 250. It really was not a bad book just predictable and average.
