"Kids+Cops=Chaos" by Jennifer LaBrecque. Detective Sloane Matthews objects to his latest assignment of going undercover as a nanny to the three young children of suspected Pre-Columbian artifact smuggler Max Cheltham. When he gains employment at the Cheltham home, Sloane, who has no experience with kids, feels like the Ransom of Red Chief until he meets the aunt of his charges. Now he must deal with Aunt Jo Calhoun who has left Sloane’s heart in chaos worse than the three caballeros. Humor+fun=entertaining tale.

"Moonstruck" by Sandra Paul. Dee Evans is the perfect executive secretary never letting emotion get in the way of doing the job. So when insanity struck her, she rashly mooned her staid boss, Jason Masters. An outraged Jason orders Dee to learn who would disrespect the boss even if he thinks the butt looked cute. Like any good secretary, Dee figures how hard can it be to keep her boss in line, but love interferes with her office duties making that one impulsive act seem conservative. Readers will cherish this amusing romance.

Both Duet tales are quite humorous as situations impact the lead males into realms they never faced before. Jennifer LaBrecque and Sandra Paul maintain the amusing yet high quality of this strong imprint.
