Abbi Hayes is the ultimate geek! She 's a computer guru, plays with lego and she's so plain Jane her last boyfriend called her boring and passive in bed. Ouch, right? It would be very ouch for any woman so you can bet your last dollar she's going to do something about it.
First step, is to tell everyone it's all in the name of research for a new app she is designing for her boss. Second step dress the part, not slutty but definitely no more nerdy , just show enough to get attention.
Thirdly and most importantly acquire a suitable target to test out her new found inner vixen abilities. It all sounds like the perfect plan , but sadly for Abbi it all goes wrong when she bumps into the fantasy of her high-school dreams, Joe screw all the girls senseless Fuller. She forgets all the the tips and tricks she researched through hours and hours of articles, get's hot and bothered in less than five minutes and then runs away, not very vixen like!
But Joe is having none of it, Abbi was his ultimate fantasy back in high-school but after her teaching him six math lessons she never looked his way again. This time he's wiser, older and more determined to ensure his dream girl ends up in his bed. Putting two and two together Joe soon discovers the real reason behind Abbi and all the sexy research, and he wants nothing more than to be her tutor. But what will he do when the student becomes the teacher and turns the tables on him, run away like he always does or run after the one person who knows the truth?
If you like your hero's ultra hot, your heroines learning something new about themselves and showing the hero a little something new in life , super hot spicy sex and deep underlining emotion, then this read from the super talented Natalie Anderson is the ultimate in romance reads.
This book was fun and a little bit quirky in the start I mean it's not everyday I find a heroine that builds Lego for fun, then it turned sexy and flirty and just as fast hit a super hot level of sexy, sexy , SEXY!
I loved every single minute of the anticipation between Abbi and Joe, the buildup to the explosive moments of pure raw sex in the most basic and naughtiest of forms there is no way anyone can say this read is boring or that the heroine for that matter is boring.
Joe slowly bit by bit lesson by lesson brings out the real Abbi, the true woman she has always been. The entire read was a roller-coaster of emotions, from hot and sweaty to jealously and anger to sweet sensual romance and super hot off the charts sex.
But if you're thinking this book is all about the sex and just a little bit of romance you could not be more wrong. The author took a two characters and sent them on a journey of self discovery and realization dawning in such a beautiful manner it brought me to tears, not the reaction one would usually expect from a erotic read, yet it happened, but it was no surprise as this author has such an amazing way with words that she manages to have this effect on me with everything she writes, be it YA , a Harlequin Presents or a Harlequin Kiss. She takes me on a deep, satisfying emotional journey each and every single time.
Through the character of Joe, and the idea he has in his head of always taking off and running from hurt the author showed that running never solves anything, it 's better to deal with a situation head on, yes you will most likely get hurt but that 's what life's pain if for, to make us stronger. And when the next time comes around you will be stronger and wiser to deal with it all.
Through the character of Abbi and her very new found ' I can be a vixen' move in life the author showed that sometimes we need to risk a little and learn something new in order to let the real us shine through.
I am taking away a message of life does suck and sometimes it sucks like crazy and all there is left to do is run and start anew or be daring and and take action. The trick of the whole ' my life sucks because I have been dealt a hard blow' is to know which road to take. Will running solve the heartache, will the pain go away? No, of course it won't it will always be there in the back of your mind and living in your dreams at night. But daring to try something new will teach you something about yourself you never knew, it sounds like a dumb idea, and not like something most people will want to try , but it's how you try it that 's the key if you only try it halfway and then give up instead of seeing it all the way through then you'll never get the message.
I highly recommend this read for all fans of erotic romance reads with loads of spice and sexiness and a whole string of fantasies coming to life. An undoubtedly crazy , very sexy , passionate, explosive hot romance has never been this good read!
