Review: Quick read, but cute

Felthouse is a fantastic writer, with a quick wit. I found Illicit Relations to be easy to read, likable, and cute, if a bit short on the set up. Admittedly, that's just a personal preference and not a slight to Ms. Felthouse at all, I just found that the relationship moved very quickly from forbidden desire to angry-getting-over-it to rekindled in a bare six chapters. The "big reveal" was not very surprising, but I did think that the main character could have spared a few minutes to at least deal with it before jumping on his new lover.Once the jumping starts, tho, there's no stopping it, and we rocket from hot sex scene to hot sex scene with barely a pause for breath, which was greatly enjoyable. We even have a really great shower scene - something I find particularly appealing.Our main characters were funny, adorable, and the romantic tension between them sizzles. And as an American, I find the British slang to be colorful and just "off" enough to grab my attention and keep it glued to the pages. I read the book in little under an hour, which is pretty quick, even for me.-- I was provided a free copy of this book for the purposes of reviewing, but my opinions are entirely and unabashedly my own. As are my spelling errors.
