review 1: So, I will forever and always read anything Tiffany Reisz writes. She’s one of my all-time favorite authors ever. When I found out she was writing a romantic comedy, I was pretty excited. I mean, her dark Original Sinners series is funny, so I knew this would be a laugh-out-loud book. Then, I found out it was based on Much Ado About Nothing, which seriously my favorite Shakespeare play. Do I think it could use more sex? Yes! Bring the sex on! So, let’s do some math. Tiffany Reisz + Shakespeare + comedy + sex = a book I will love to pieces. That was pretty much my expectation, and I was so right.Bea was so funny. I loved her immediately. She’s an awesome, independent woman with a really healthy open-mind when it comes to sex. She just wants to help others get their O ... moreby blogging about sex toys and books. Let’s be honest, wouldn’t we all love that job? I would love to have orgasms for a living. Ben was just as funny and weird. He was also just the right amount of sweet. The two of them made me smile and laugh and make me want to read the book all over again when I finished.If you’ve never read anything by Tiffany Reisz, YOU NEED TO FIX THAT IMMEDIATELY. Seriously, though, she’s an amazing writer. Even though this fun short doesn’t have the same literary quality that I love so much about the Original Sinners series, it’s still just written really well. She does such a great job giving characters the right amount of depth, complexity, and craziness that I find authentic. The pacing was perfect too. I read the story straight through in one sitting.I would remiss if I didn’t mention the sexytimes. Reisz is so great at writing sex scenes that really fit the tone of the story and the personalities of the characters. Bea and Ben don’t take sex too seriously. They really embrace the awkward and funny parts of sex, and that really came through in this story.This is just a fun, sexy story written by a master of erotica. Highly recommended!
review 2: To start off with just whoa. There are too many emotions in this book but that is in no way a bad thing. Smart and sexy meets.. well hello, where have you been all my nights. You meet Beatriz. Smart, funny and adventurous girl who has a wild side she portrays through her job. Columnists never looked so good. Who would like a job that they reviewed sex books and toys? (waits for it) What? No one? (Cracks up) Yeah, it isn’t an easy thing to think of. Most of us would shy away from such a thing; I sure as hell would, but not Beatriz. She is open and out there.Makes the saying “ready and willing” mean so much more now. Beatriz is heading off to her sister’s wedding. Ready for a week of dining fun, drinking and wedding details but at the last minute her editor calls for a review. Running from her house to catch a cab she grabs an unopened envelope from her desk of “things to review” and heads off. On the way to the airport she sees she has grabbed a book on sex positions for Generation “Y”. And boy the frenzy starts. She has one week to use the book and write her review… but she needs a willing partner to help her with this. Casual, no feeling sex is fine with her so she carries on. Once she is in New York and with her sister things start to happen. Feelings from years before for a man she loved (as in, she wanted to have hot monkey sex and claim him in ways he only wished to know) in college swing back to her when she finds out he is there. A tricky older sister and the husband to be get Beatriz and Ben together again. He agrees to be her sex partner for the week. It’s just work. It may have started off as “Just Work” but as they grew in the space of lust and sex something wonderful happens. The love they once had comes back and swallows them both up. Cocooning them in each others arms again to never be parted. This shows a love lost can be a love found. Even if it’s not under “normal” circumstances. if you follow this story from start to finish they grow on you. The characters are so real. You know this kind of thing can and will happen. I mean sex and masturbation are a “taboo” thing to speak of but in reality in this day and age women and men really could be just like Beatriz. Men everywhere would want to be Ben.For me it was a fast, addictive read. When I hit eh last page I wanted more. I tweeted Tiffany Reisz about the love for this book and I would have to move to her “Original Sinners” series. She replied, “Warning: If my books were alcohol, Misbehaving would be a light fruity cocktail while the Original Sinners is moonshine.” Just makes me want to run out and get more of her books. Good hearty authors are popping out of the wood works as of late and this one ladies and gents is an all star in my opinion. less
