Natasha Bellingham has always wanted a child.  She has been waiting for Mr. Right to come along to help fulfill her dream of being a mother but everyone she loves eventually leaves her.  Tasha has decided to take things into her own hands and after a final night of partying she's going to get healthy and take the steps toward artificial insemination.  During that night of partying, she opens her drunken mouth to the one person that can throw a wrench into her plans.Maxwell Turner has wanted to get his hands on Tasha Bellingham for years but she has always rebuffed his advances because of their age difference.  Max is a genius and more than capable of being the mature man Tasha needs.  When he discovers her plan to get pregnant he believes he can provide a better option.Max proposes that he and Tasha make a baby together in the natural fashion.  Every baby needs a mommy and a daddy after all.  Will Tasha accept Max's proposal or let her fear of falling in love and losing that love keep her from finding happiness?Turn it up turns the heat way up!  I have read several Vivian Arend titles and Turn it Up is my new favorite!  I absolutely love Max and Tasha!  Max is this 24 year old genius who knows exactly what he wants and how he's going to get it.  Tasha is thirty-five and she's been hurt in the past.  She's so scared of being hurt again that it's safer for her to take herself out of the game.  So Tasha comes up with Operation Baby.  Who doesn't love a story that includes babies?  Max is sexy but his determination and strong will make him sizzle.  Tasha's fear and vulnerability make her an endearing character.  Max and Tasha have serious chemistry and they definitely Turn it Up in this story.  There is a certain scene involving the porch swing; I may never look at my porch swing the same way again.  It was explosively hot.Turn it Up is the second book in the Turner Twins series but it is the first that I have read.  It is not necessary to read these books in order and I believe that Max and Tasha's story actually takes place before the first book.  So, of course, I'm off to read book one since I definitely fell in love with Turn it Up.  If you're looking for a sultry sweet story full of loveable characters, then grab a copy of Turn it Up.MirandaFor Joyfully Reviewed
