review 1: Oh Faith and Rusty! Forkin' loved you two. Such a great concept for adding some spice in the bedroom. Things I may actually try myself ;) So here's Faith, practically an innocent, who's been with 2 men. However, she's a columnist and she writing about spicing up things in the bedroom. She comes up with this idea about the seven deadly sins. You know, envy, lust, gluttony, wrath, sloth, pride, and greed. Instead of making them deadly, she makes them sexy. Boy does she ever!!! HOT! The problem is she's never done any of the things she comes up with on her list. So, she needs a research partner to "help her out". In that she finds her brother's BFF and her friend as well, Rusty.This was just a fun, quick, steamy read that I found very enjoy... moreable.
review 2: The premise of this is...kinda unbelievable. This sweet, not-prudish but not very sexually experienced 22-year old journalist/blogger girl posts really intimate details of her sex life with her brother's best friend that she's having a sekrit friends-with-benefits affair with in the name of "research." Now. Being that I am personally acquainted with sex-positive feminist strippers, former sex workers, porn performers, and a variety of people into kink or polyamory, why would I find this hard to believe? Because it doesn't totally fit with the characterizations in this book otherwise. And because most people I know with non-traditional open sexual habits didn't just dive into the deep end like this. I know, I know, given the wacky, schlocky premises abounding in Romancelandia, so what? I think in general it's harder for me to suspend disbelief with non-paranormal contemporaries (i.e. books about the "real" present-tense world) so in a weird way, the realism of these characters makes the premise harder to fully accept. Except that it is the verisimilitude of the characters that makes me not care so much. Because I enjoyed this book. I mean, it's got friends-to-lovers and a Pining Hero and a Writer Heroine so how could I not? Also, despite the soap opera-y belief on the part of the hero that commitment and family life are not options for him since all his male relatives are woman-abusing, cheating alcoholics jerks, this is one of the few times where that fear makes some kind of sense because alcoholism at least can be an inherited trait. Plus! This issue on the part of the hero isn't wrapped up in a Big Misunderstanding - the heroine always knows what his damage is. And he's a hunky, redheaded high school history teacher! So yeah, four stars. less
