Too much of a good thing…
With her long ponytail and sparkling green eyes, Tessa Donovan looks more like the girl next door than a businesswoman—or a heartbreaker. Which may explain why Detective Luke Asher barely notices her when he arrives to investigate a break–in at her family's brewery. He's got his own problems—starting with the fact that his partner, Simone, is pregnant and everyone thinks he's the father.
Tessa has her hands full, too. Her brother's playboy ways may be threatening the business, and the tension could tear her tight–knit family apart. In fact, the only thing that could unite the Donovan boys is seeing a man come after their "baby" sister. Especially a man like Luke Asher. But Tessa sees past the rumors to the man beneath. He's not who people think he is—and neither is she.

Tessa Donovan stared across the parking lot of Donovan Brothers Brewery, mesmerized by the flashes and swirls of blue and red across the gray brick of the building. She couldn't help but stare. The police lights were so at odds with the birdsong and pale sunlight of the early–morning hour.
Her brother Jamie stood between the two cop cars parked at haphazard angles near the back door. He wore a dazed expression, probably because he'd never met an early morning willingly.
She stalked across the parking lot and grabbed her brother by the collar of his rumpled T–shirt.
"Hey!" he protested.
Tessa pulled him closer, tugging him down until they were nose to nose. "James Francis Donovan," she whispered, "what have you done?"
"What are you talking about?" Jamie asked, sounding just outraged enough that Tessa almost believed him for a second. But only for a second.
She twisted his collar tighter. "spill it."
"Come on, Tessa." He yanked away from her grip and waved an angry hand at the police cars. "You're not accusing me of having something to do with the robbery, I hope? I set the alarm, I locked the doors. This is not my fault."
Tessa ran a suspicious eye down her brother's body. He looked like he always did. Tall and handsome and laid–back. His jeans were worn out by a thousand washings, his T–shirt faded to cloudy gray. His light brown hair was sleep–tousled, but that was nothing new. Unfortunately, neither was the guilty shift of his eyes when she looked into them.
"Damn it, Jamie."
"Tessa—"
"I know the robbery wasn't your fault, but you said you were the one who found the door open. So what the hell were you doing here at seven in the morning? And why'd you call me instead of Eric?"
Eric was their older sibling, and though they all owned equal shares of the brewery, Eric had always taken the lead. He was the logical person to call to report that the brewery had been robbed. But Jamie had called her instead. not good. not good at all.
Jamie ran a hand through his hair and stared up at the pale blue sky. "It's bad, Tessa."
Her heart fell to somewhere below street level. "What's bad? What?"
"Monica Kendall came by last night."
"No. Oh, no, no, no." Monica Kendall was the vice president of High West Air and the key to the distribution deal that Eric had been working on for months. "Jamie, please tell me you didn't. Even you wouldn't be that stupid."
"Even I wouldn't? Nice thing to say to your brother."
"Jamie!" she screeched. God, she wished the cops would turn the lights off on the patrol cars. The colors were digging into her eye sockets.
Jamie finally gave up his outraged stance. His shoulders slumped. His head fell. "I don't know what happened," he murmured. "She said she wanted a tour of the brewery. Of course, she sampled a few of the beers and then…"
"And then?"
"She needed a ride home."
Tessa's sunken heart flopped weakly. She knew exactly what he meant. Women loved Jamie, and at twenty–nine, he was in the prime of loving women right back. "No," she muttered again. "This isn't happening."
"I took her home," he said. "I had to."
"You could've called a cab!"
"Tessa… Christ, I just thought I'd get her home and take a cab back and. I didn't mean to—"
"You didn't mean to? Good God, you are such a dog! Try thinking with your brain sometime, Jamie. Just on special occasions if that's all you can handle."
His eyes flashed green hurt, and Tessa immediately felt terrible. He'd been lobbying for more responsibility at the brewery lately, trying to step up to the plate, but Eric had resisted. If he found out about this.
"Okay," Tessa said, taking a deep breath to calm herself. "Okay, as long as her dad doesn't find out. Monica won't say anything, right? Why would she?"
The blank regret on his face told a different story, but before she could get it out of him, the back door of the brewery opened and one of the officers came out. "A detective is on his way over. He'll want to walk through with you when he arrives, Mr. Donovan."
"Thanks," Jamie muttered.
Tessa craned her neck to try to see through the cracked door. "You're sure the tanks are okay?"
Jamie nodded. "Everything looks fine except for a couple of missing computers and one keg."
The break–in should have been the most upsetting event of the day. On any other day, she'd be crying and wringing her hands over the violation. But if Eric found out what Jamie had done with Monica Kendall, it would ruin her brothers' relationship, and her brothers…they were all she had. She had to fix this, somehow.
"Please, Jamie," she said as the officer paced toward his car. "Tell me there's no more bad news."
He sighed as if he'd been holding his breath. "It was stupid. You're right. really fucking stupid. But it seemed like it would be no big deal this morning. It was fine. Only I didn't realize… When we pulled up to her place last night, I thought it was just a house up in the foothills. But it wasn't. She lives in the guesthouse. Her dad's guesthouse."
For a moment, the world actually turned around Tessa's head. The sky and the clouds and the dark green pine trees—they rotated in a slow, sick spin. Tessa closed her eyes and prayed.
"When she was pulling out of her garage, her dad jogged right past. He saw me."
"Oh, God." This was the perfect storm of bad news. Their brother had been working Roland Kendall for months, trying to convince him that Donovan Brothers beer would be the perfect microbrew to serve on the fleet of the brand–new High West Airline. Eric had worked stubbornly toward this moment, intent on getting the brand into new hands, new customers. A few weeks before, he'd finally arranged a private meeting with Roland and his daughter, Monica. They'd made their final pricing offer. The deal had almost been done, the contracts sent over.
And now…disaster in the form of Jamie Donovan. "I'm going to kill you," she said flatly. "This one woman. Just this one woman you had to avoid touching."
"That's not fair," he snapped. "You two always talk like I'm with a new woman every night. I haven't dated in months!"
Tessa crossed her arms and paced away from him, trying to think. "Are you sure he saw you?"
"He saw me. Though I suppose it's possible he didn't recognize me."
"Okay. We can handle this," Tessa said, thinking fast. "First of all, don't say anything to Eric."
Jamie shook his head. "I need to tell him."
"Are you insane?" she snapped. "Eric is going to be furious. With both of us! I took your side on this, damn it. I told him to let you help with the negotiations. You are not telling Eric."
"He's going to find out. And I'm not interested in hiding from him like a kid avoiding punishment. This is my company, too. If I screwed up, I'll face it."
"This isn't just about you, Jamie. We're a family, and I don't want this to be the wedge that finally drives us apart. So keep your mouth shut until I find out what Roland Kendall is going to do."
He threw his hands up in frustration, but Tessa ignored him. Sometimes the best defense was a good offense, and Tessa was on the attack today.
"Here's what you're going to do," she said in a rush. "I'm going to leave. You call Eric as if he's the first one you called. If he asks, you went home with a woman and she dropped you off this morning, but do not mention Monica Kendall. I'll come back in twenty minutes or so and act like I've never been here."
"God, you've gotten devious," he muttered.
He had no idea.
"I'll call Roland Kendall later and see if I can read him. You keep your mouth shut."
"Tessa," he started, but she stalked away from him, heading down the street toward her house.
She knew she should be worried about the robbery, but that seemed far and away the least of her problems. Even losing the deal with High West wouldn't exactly be a family tragedy.except that it would be.
Eric was becoming more and more withdrawn into his role as head of the family. Tessa could understand that. He'd filled the shoes of their father since their parents had died in a car accident. Eric had only been twenty–four when he'd become responsible for two kids and a business. So Tessa could understand why, thirteen years later, he might have trouble stepping back from that. But he had to.
If Eric needed to relax a little, Jamie needed to add some stress to his world. He couldn't keep living like a carefree bartender for the rest of his life. Hell, he didn't even want to. He wanted to step up and act like a full–fledged partner. Minus, apparently, any restraint when it came to women. But plenty of successful men had that problem. There was no reason Jamie shouldn't join their ranks.
Tessa spotted another patrol car approaching, followed by a suspiciously nondescript sedan. She ducked her head, trying to escape the crime scene undetected. Her house, the house they'd all grown up in, was only three blocks away. She'd change from her yoga pants to jeans and brush her hair as if she'd been up for an hour before receiving Jamie's call. Speaking of.
She hit redial on her cell phone. "Did you call Eric yet?"
"He's on his way," Jamie muttered, then reminded her, "I don't like this."
"I know. But we have to make this right."
"He's our brother, Tessa, not our dad. I don't answer to him."
"No, but you owe him. We both do."
While Jamie's sigh was still echoing through the phone, Tessa hung up on him and rushed up her front walk. She'd done all she could for now. She couldn't call Roland Kendall for several hours at least. If he hadn't placed Jamie's face yet, her phone call might trigger the connection. She'd have to be patient, and plan this deception with ruthless care.
It shouldn't be that hard. She'd been managing her brothers' relationship since the day her parents had died. She played referee, defused fights and forced them to spend time together over Sunday dinners and holiday feasts. They were the only family she had left and she wasn't going to lose that, certainly not over a business deal.
"I can handle this," she insisted to herself as she turned onto her street and rushed toward home. "It'll be okay."
So why did she feel so sick inside?
Detective Luke Asher whipped the latex gloves off and tossed them into the alley Dumpster before turning to shake hands with Eric Donovan. "Eric, it's good to see you again, though not under these circumstances."
"Well, Jamie was just telling me that not much was taken. In fact, I was surprised to see you here."
"I'm sure you won't be out more than your insurance deductible on the computer equipment. But we're more concerned with the information on the computers. Social Security numbers, credit card information. There's been a rash of these types of break–ins at local businesses. Patrol called me when they realized the alarm had been circumvented somehow. That makes it less likely to be a casual robbery."
Eric's eyes slid toward his brother. "Are you sure the alarm was circumvented? Maybe it was never set."
Luke was sure he'd never seen someone snap from relaxed to furious as quickly as Jamie pulled it off. "I told you I set the damn alarm, Eric."
"I know you think you did," Eric said.
Jamie's mouth twisted and his hands balled to fists. "Screw you."
Hoping to restore peace, Luke raised his hands. "There's no doubt about this. Jamie definitely set the alarm. The alarm company shows it was armed at 9:30 p.m. and turned off at 1:00 a.m."
Jamie shot a look of pure fire at his brother, but he didn't seem satisfied with the vindication. His tension held tight when he paced over to a patrol car, his arms crossed as if he wanted to keep his hands still. Strange. Luke had known Jamie for ten years, and his demeanor had always registered on a scale that started with sleepy and topped out at laid–back.
Luke cleared his throat. "Do you know what payroll information was kept on the computers?"
Jamie glanced over his shoulder. "Tessa will know more. She takes care of all that stuff. She should be here any—"
"We outsource payroll," Eric interrupted. "So the information is limited. And I don't think there's any credit card information on the PCs these days. Hopefully the damage will be minimal."
"Good," Luke said. "We're almost finished in there. We're just dusting for a few prints and then we'll get out of your way. I hope this'll be nothing more than an inconvenience for you. They hit a temp agency a couple of weeks ago. That place had thousands of Social Security numbers on file."
"Yikes."
"Yeah. If you'll excuse me, I'm just going to take a look around out here." Luke walked to the back of the building, hoping to note anything out of place, but the exterior seemed fine. Wooden pallets were stacked in neat columns. A ten–foot–long carbon dioxide tank sat next to the building on clean concrete, untouched by weeds or debris. The same applied to the big stainless–steel grain silo.
He knew from the layout inside that the padlocked corrugated door rolled up to reveal the bottling area and a small loading dock. If he'd been thinking of the brewery as a bar, he would've changed his mind back here. Not one bar in the world had a back lot this clean.
When he didn't find even a hint of something suspicious, Luke circled the front of the building. Sunlight deteriorated beer, Jamie had explained earlier, so the few windows in the place were high up and always locked.
Luke was just rejoining Jamie and Eric when he noticed a woman approaching across the parking lot. Her blond ponytail bounced as she rushed closer. Luke found his eyes dipping down, taking note of the tight jeans and gorgeous thighs. Aside from a killer body, she looked perfectly innocent, pink–cheeked and bright–eyed.
"Hey, guys," she said breathlessly. "What's going on? Do you know anything more?"
Eric reached for the woman to give her a hug, so Luke used his detective skills to determine that this was the sister. They didn't pay him the big bucks for nothing. Also, she looked a lot like Jamie Donovan, though smaller and way prettier.
She shot Jamie a tense look. Jamie's gaze fell to the ground, his mouth tightening. Whatever passed between them seemed set aside when she looked at Luke and smiled. "Hi," she said, offering a hand. "I'm Tessa Donovan."
"Detective Asher," he said. When he took her hand, he felt the fine bones of her fingers and smelled a faint flowery scent that made him clear his throat in defense. His life was way too complicated to leave room for noticing how a pretty woman smelled.

A feisty and dirty good girl ;)
By akb--bookworm
4-1/2 Stars
I first became aware of this series after reading the Prequel in The Guy Next Door: Ready, Set, JettGail's Gone WildJust One Taste (Hqn). When I read the prequel, I was angry. I was mad that anthology printed unfinished stories with the tag line "to find out what happens next pick up the REAL book." Even with that frustration, Dahl's story "Just One Taste" about Eric and Beth was my favorite, even though it WAS NOT a complete story. Ugh. Okay, rant over because obviously I wasn't annoyed enough to ignore this series: Either that or I got over my anger since the prequel came out so long ago.
Tessa Donovan is the peacemaker in her family, always being the good girl to keep her brothers from fighting and to keep their family business on track. When a huge business deal big brother, Eric, has been working on for months falls because of actions of playboy brother, Jamie, Tessa is sure she can fix this. She's been covering up for years. However, when a break-in at their family brewery occurs and brings Detective Luke Asher to the brewery, it's becoming increasingly difficult for Tessa to keep her stories straight. Eric and Jamie are convinced Tessa is a good girl, a sweet and innocent girl. They have no idea. But Luke does.
I so enjoy Ms. Dahl's work. She hits the right balance of story, plot, and romance. She doesn't throw sex in there at weird and random times. Everything flows so nicely and smoothly. Her characters always feel so real and well rounded.
I really enjoyed Tessa. She was 14 when her parents were killed in a car accident and was raised by her two older brothers. Well, she did some raising of her brothers, too. Always afraid that if she isn't perfect and doesn't keep the peace between her brothers that she'll lose the only family she has left. When Jamie's actions cause Eric's dream deal to sink, Tessa is adamant she can fix this. She's a fixer. Even when everything starts to fall around her, she is sure she can still fix it.
Luke was such a perfect match for Tessa. He and Jamie were friends in College (hence Jamie's misgivings about seeing the two together.) There are a lot of rumors swirling around their small town about Luke, most are false.
I really enjoyed the development of Tessa and Luke's romance. Things weren't always smooth, yet they worked at it to find a balance. They both had issues to work through, but it all felt relevant to the story.
I did enjoy the little cameo by Beth. Oh, Eric! You so have it coming to you. I really can't wait to read the rest of your story in Real Men Will (Hqn). But first I get to find out what Jamie wears under his kilt in Bad Boys Do (Hqn).

Tessa Doesn't, But Should
By Tracy
When Tessa Donovan's older brother Jamie makes an error in judgement that threatens her family's brewery and the relationship between him and their eldest brother Eric, Tessa flies into damage control mode. She'll do anything to re-secure the deal that Jamie's impulsive behavior had blown, just to keep the peace in her family. Making her life more complicated is her attraction to police detective Luke Asher, the cop investigating the robbery of the brewery's computer and some of its product.
Not that the attraction itself causes complications. Her over-protective big brothers do that all on their own. And when Jamie, who knew Luke from their shared college days, informs Tessa that Luke isn't the man she thinks he is and explains some of Luke's dark past, Tessa has that much more to think about. She's the queen of keeping secrets, but those that Luke hold may threaten the foundations on which she rests her heart. And that's way too big a risk to take...no matter how much Tessa may want to.
I've got a big problem with this book. I thoroughly enjoy Dahl's writing style and admire the breezy, fast-moving narrative, sexy dialogue, and lighter tone. I loved Luke, and was particularly pleased with the way Dahl added some depth to his character by shackling him with a truly nasty reputation. The way truths were slowly revealed was very appealing and made him and his backstory seem genuine and his pain heartfelt. I enjoyed him in the book immensely.
Then there are the Donovans. Rarely have I been as disgusted by two characters as I was of Tessa and her older brother Jamie. I was leery of them both from the very start. The book begins with Jamie confessing to Tessa that he had sex with the daughter of the man who owns the company with which their eldest brother Eric has been negotiating for months to secure a distribution contract. Despite being repeatedly warned against doing just that...though the fact that he needed the warning to begin with sort of makes a statement all its own - one that nearly screams that he's a frickin' moron with impulse control problems.
Jamie didn't mean to sex up daddy's little girl, of course. I guess he tripped and fell on her while his...flag was flying high. Oops.
Then, to compound that idiocy, Tessa not only plans to keep Jamie's rampant hormonal stupidity a secret from Eric, but when Jamie further confesses that the woman's father may have seen him as Jamie left her place that morning, she dives headfirst into a covert life of backdoor negotiations, pleas, and begging to prevent the man from backing out of the deal that had been moments from being signed. She lies to Eric and when Jamie wants to do the right thing and confess, she convinces him not to. She lies to...well...almost every other primary and secondary character in the book, also, including herself. Even Luke is not spared her falsehoods, prevarications, and omissions, and she LIKES him. In fact, from what I could figure judging from various sections of Tessa's internal monologue, that whole lying thing is second nature to Tessa by now.
I can't like a heroine who is so completely incapable of honesty, regardless of the reason. Tessa didn't stop there, though. She multiplied my displeasure by not only being a pathological liar, but by being what, for me, is the only thing worse. A complete and utter hypocrite. It's apparently fine for her to lie to anyone and everyone, but don't so much as omit a detail to her, regardless of its consequence in the grand scheme, or she'll treat you like you're a communicable disease. Charming girl, really.
By the time some glimpse of reason for her neurotic pathology and her emotionally needy self-absorption came into the story, I was beyond caring. I already hated her. A lot. No amount of the author trying to convince me that Tessa acted like such a freak because of a deep-seated fear of losing her brothers and being hurt by Luke was going to make her character seem sympathetic to me.
Unfortunately, if I don't like one of the two lead characters in a romance novel, than the romance doesn't work for me, i.e. the book doesn't work for me. Sadly, it doesn't matter how well-written the plot, or how appealing the other characters, or how pleasant the writing style, I just don't enjoy the read.
I didn't enjoy Good Girls Don't, and though Jamie did end up being a character I felt for by the end, and he did want to be honest with Eric from the start, given his unbelievable stupidity in the beginning of this book, I'm very concerned about what's coming in his own. Dahl certainly has the ability to completely redeem a character and provide a thoroughly entertaining book featuring Jamie as the male romantic lead. I just hope she does so.

Plot bogged down by minutae
By BrooklynGirl
The glimpse of a potentially good story get weighted down by annoying minutae that creates disconnects between the various plot lines. The best part of the book are the scenes of intimacy but as a reader I was constantly switching gears trying to remain interested in a heroine who was so stupidly juvenile in how she attempted to "handle" her brothers and her good girl in the business/whore in the bedroom multiple personalty she vacillated between. I also could not fathom the backstory of the hero Luke and why his former marriage and his time spent on the LAPD caused so much emotional trauma to then have him repeatedly run interference for his pregnant partner... as some sort of badge of honor FOR WHAT?!!! It made no sense.
The other 2 brothers Eric & Jaime presented interesting characters but I was so bored with the sibling bickering that I just did not care by mid-way through the book. As for the minutae, let me back up a bit and say I am sure it is hard to create a story that engages the reader in to the characters in such a way that the reader becomes interested in what their home is like, their business, the things that make them tick... But I swear to god if I had to read one more line about bi-sexual Wallace and his love of his beer tanks I was going to lose my mind. That accompanied by details of how Tessa walked over to her brothers house rang the bell. Waited. Figured he was not home. Walked back to her house. Her brother showed up. Let himself in with his key. How dare he use the key at a whim. Rats he's using the key while I'm having sex! Oh gosh she needs to get the key back but couldn't bring herself to ask for the key because this was truly his home too. Damn it! that's it I want the key because you are invading my space and my privacy!. Ohh no... It's ok keep the key just call before you come over. Then the dull as dirt investigation. WHO CARES IF YOU HAVE TO PULL VIDEO?!!... IT'S BORING, IT'S TEDIOUS, IT'S PART OF POLICE WORK... IT'S YOUR JOB!. The author spent pages intermittently throughout the book yapping about camera angles and the lazy file room clerk who could not get them their files. It was like reading about watching paint dry. Ridiculous!
If the publisher could lift the sex scenes from the book and fill in the blanks with a stronger story with more consistent flow and less annoying life details, then the rest of the series might be salvageable. But for now, THIS "Good Girl" don't want to buy the next book in the series.
