Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 10, 2013
It's been a while since I read a Cari Quinn book so when she announced her first release with Samhain (something I was thrilled about as Cari is one of my fave authors and Samhain one of my fave publishers), I pre-ordered it immediately and since it came out a day before I left on vacation I put it on my vacation-reading list. The combination of an older woman, younger man and Cari being the author made me loving this book a sure thing and from page 1 I loved the sexy banter between Sarah and Brad.Just when I thought I'd already read Cari Quinn's best work she goes and does it again! When I was only 40% in I already knew the book was heading towards a 5-star rating for me. Everything clicked and worked for me: the cougar trope, the character-driven romance, the dialogues and banter and the so deliciously dirty and sexy as hell sex scenes.I really enjoyed how the cougar trope was handled in this book. It wasn't brushed over but it also wasn't a big deal. There weren't many secondary characters as the story focused on Sarah and Brad and I didn't mind that at all. The only true secondary character was Kim, Brad's sister, whom I loved and was happy to hear from Cari that she is getting her own book.DIRTY DISTRACTIONS proved once again that Cari is without a doubt one of my favorite authors in contemporary erotic romance! Samhain has netted an awesome author who writes the combination of dirty sexy, humorous dialogue and emotional intensity so well I can't but adore her books. DIRTY DISTRACTIONS is without a doubt a 2013 favorite!Favorite Scenes:- Brad brushing Sara's hair when she's sick > so sweet- bath scene > so hot
