A Good Read

Unzipped, published by Harlequin Books. Three sensual stories by Lori Foster, Janelle Denison, and Crystal Green.


In Tantalizing, Lori Foster tells the story of Josie Jackson and Nick Harris. Josie's sister has set her up on a blind date, and they're to meet at a bar. Nick, the blind date's friend, is at the bar to tell her that his friend isn't going to show up. When he sees Josie, though, he pretends to be the date. It's a very sensual story with conflict galore when Josie--and her sister, who can't stand Nick--finds out he lied.

Janelle Denison picks up with His Every Fantasy. Leah Burton is engaged to a staid, boring man who barely kisses her, let alone anything more. She desperately wants to learn how to really satisfy a man and her lackluster fiance isn't offering his services. So she turns to Jace Rutledge, her confirmed bachelor friend. Jace has always wanted Leah, but out of respect for her parents, he's kept his distance. Now all bets are off and he's teaching Leah some very pleasurable lessons.

The last story is by new author Crystal Green. In Playmates, Sean McIntyre and Fiona Cruz are new co-workers. They each have a fierce competitive streak and when Fiona ups the ante by putting a new spin on the rules of play... well, when you put two strong-willed people in the same room and close the door, fireworks ensue!

All three stories are sensual and full of emotion. Money well spent.

I would give these a sensual rating. They're not as explicit as something you'd buy from Ellora's Cave, but there is a lot of sexual tension and the characterization is very good.

Lori Foster and Janelle Denison are multi-pubbed authors (and pretty much on my 'buy when anything new comes out' list; the book says that Crystal Green is new.

AARRRGGGHHH! You forgot to put the url for a link to the book sale site on the picture! I clicked the photo to see where the book was for sale and got another photo of the cover!

What a GREAT review! And I like the idea of good characterization. I need to read some of that. I got flat characters and need to pump them up some.

Thanks!
Forrest

You can go to Amazon.com and do a book search for Unzipped. There's a couple of books that come up, but I believe this one's the first one. (I was going to put the url here, but it's really, REALLY long...)
