Review: Even with suspension of disbelief, this was just too much

Erotica . . . I get it.  There is always going to be an element of fantasy.  However, the twists and turns that Jordan expects us to take with the plot kept jarring me out of the story and ultimately kept me from enjoying the book.It really doesn't make sense that Baldwin and her co-workers would have no idea what kind of party Xander was holding on his boat or that Baldwin, supposedly some sort of super-spy, wouldn't be able to keep her head together in a highly sexualized atmosphere -- let alone completely lose it under "interrogation" from Xander.  Further developments in the "plot" were equally puzzling to an intelligent reader.While the sex scenes showed some promise, I was also put off by how this book is marketed as an "erotic thriller" but is actually just a couple of chapters serving as a teaser for a full-length novel.  Maybe the novel is good -- maybe it isn't.  But introducing a plot and resolving absolutely nothing isn't the way to lure in this particular reader.
