Blurb: Prequel to the Crystal Island Series

Cory knows she has an amazing boss. Jeff is considerate, generous and a true pleasure to work for. Unfortunately, he’s also the sexiest man she’s ever known, and being so close to him every day without being able to touch has turned into pure torture.

Jeff believes Cory is the ideal assistant, always willing to accommodate. For some time he’s been fantasizing about personal things he wishes Cory would do for him. Letting her know that, however, has been out of the question…until she turns in her resignation and admits it’s because she wants something more from him. The instant they realize they want the same thing, they don’t waste another second before acting out their office fantasies.

Review: Just in case you didn’t already know…I am a huge friends to lovers fan. A die hard maybe. And this story really fit the bill.

Two people who work together well and have for several years. Both wanting but never taking that chance. Ahhh. It was good.  Hot sex coupled with a quick to the point story that was well written…what’s not to like?

Blurb: Anthropologist Spence Banning is researching the effects of primitive tribal music on the civilized human libido. Unfortunately, he lacks the perfect test subject to complete his work on sexual response.

When the primal beats pulse through the vents of her apartment in the middle of the night, Ivy Whitehall awakens in a state of intense arousal. Although she normally avoids confrontation, desperation drives her to seek out the source of the music and demand relief. Their initial sexual encounter is manic, mindless and nameless but afterward Spence convinces Ivy to be his test subject. Though the research is intriguing, Ivy finds her willingness to help is less for the sake of science…and more about strengthening a certain sexual syncopation.

Review: Rock and Roll!!!! A totally “primal” story that lets us know that sometimes our bodies want something that our minds aren’t willing to go for :) And then leads me to say….can I have a cd of that music? :)

Hot and sweaty, I loved the first sex scene when they finally get together. YOWZA!! I could see it all in my mind and I have to say it was smoking!!! Definitely one that I will be recommending to my friends and to others.
