And when Tristan has to take charge and get Lula back on air, what was supposed to be one night becomes weeks of tantalizing torture! Because back in the studio those red-hot memories are making Lula a major distraction…and “business as usual” is much easier said than done…

Reviewer’s Thoughts

What happens when you’re tired of being you and open yourself up to leap into the unknown? Complications..that’s what.  Tallulah Lazenby slept with her boss.  Unfortunately, her boss is a moron that is now determined to get her fired.  What better to take her mind off her poorly thought out decision to sleep with her boss and the possible loss of her job than to sleep with a random sexy stranger? Right about this time in the book I just sort of shook my head and hoped the author would be able to pull this storyline off.

Tristan Bamfield is fresh from the bed of an amazing woman he met in the bar.  While preparing for his early morning meeting he looks up and to see that the person he was supposed to fire is his bedmate from the previous night.  Based on his past he jumps to conclusions and fires Tallulah.  Inevitably, he finds out that he has made a mistake.  Tallulah is overly dramatic and draws the process out. I never identified with her.  She was always emotionally overwrought.  She overanalyzed everything and was in need of constant reassurance.  I don’t know why Tristan would want to be with her because it just seemed like so much work.  I guess Tristan understood her because he had a boat load of issues.  I can say that he was honest about his issues, and he did try to reach out to Tallulah and explain himself.  She either ran away, flaked out, or froze.

It wasn’t a very interesting storyline because everything happened at the beginning of the book.  The rest of the book revolves around Tristan trying to please Tallulah while working on his own issues.  The author did manage to throw in a couple of steamy love scenes that are definitely worthy of your attention.  Tallulah is no prude and enjoys variety.

It was just an okay book for me.  There was nothing that lit my fire and made me want to read it without putting it down.  The characters weren’t memorable or particularly interesting.  I will read other books by this author, and I hope she continues to improve her writing skills.
