What happens when a reformed bad boy discovers a racy Goldilocks sleeping in his bed on a dark and stormy night?
Jake Reynolds returns home to discover a sexy stranger sleeping in his bed. Instead of doing the first thing on his mind or even the second, he hires her to organize his disorganized construction office. When his wealthy family meets the suggestively clad, polyester siren posing as Jake's assistant, they fear he's slipped back into his former role as the family bad boy.
Harlee Davis didn't know she was sleeping in Jake's bed. She was seeking refuge from two storms—the storm raging outside and the storm created by her screwed-up life. When she learns that Jake plans to demolish the very camp she’s been entrusted to preserve, Harlee mounts a crusade. They wage a war of wills while battling their conflicting interests on a professional level and too much interest on a sexual level. One of them stands to lose everything in a game where there is no winner.
Returning home is the hardest thing Harlee Davis has ever done. After the last fight she had with her adopted mom they stopped talking for seven years. She returns home to find that Rose has passed away. The camp for wayward children she so dearly loved is to be demolished and condos are going to be built.
Jake Reynolds grew up as the family black sheep. He loves working with his hands and his family just doesn't understand. When he returns home and finds Harlee sleeping in his bed he doesn't know what to do. He is immediately drawn to her outrageous sense of style, overdone makeup, and super sexy body, but he knows she is just like the other women he has dated and his family hadn't approved of.
With the family business on the line Jake can't risk getting involved with Harlee and Harlee doesn't want to get involved with the man who is in charge of demolishing the camp she loves. But it often doesn't matter what someone wants when love is involved. Compromise isn't the easiest road traveled.
The chemistry between Jake and Harlee in Who's Been Sleeping In My Bedis stereotypical. Her mother was promiscuous and so Harlee in turn thought she was as well. She wears too much makeup and clothes that should be thrown away and I simply felt that it went over the top in some sections. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and despite those few scenes I didn't want to put it down! I wanted to keep reading to see what Jake, the black sheep, would do next! Harlee's dedication to the camp makes her more real and throughout the book I found myself trying to think of ways to save it that would still allow for Jake to build the condos that would save his family's fortune. This is the first book I have read by Mrs. Davenport and it will not be the last!
