Review: If you start reading you'll get completely sucked into this book.

'Hey everyone Faith's got a sex problem she needs to talk about.'" Great opener! And from there, Faith proceeds to list her sex-help spin on the seven sins. They are so creative that you'll want to try them out yourself. Faith's dilemma? She has to write a column on this topic, but she has no one to enact said seven sexy sins with. Enter Rusty, her brother's best mate ~did I mention this takes place in New Zealand.Rusty and Faith have had a solid friendship for over a decade, and there's some unrequited feelings from the past. This of course makes for some tricky and explosive land grenades as the two embark on this journey of sexual discovery while trying to keep it secret from Faith's brother and maintain their friendship.I could not put this book down. Until about three quarters of the way in. Then Woods threw in a curve ball and I was flummoxed. Seriously, I'm not a prude and I don't have a problem with what Faith asked Rusty to do to her. But, it came out of no where! I full-heartedly believe in the mantra: lady in the street, tramp in the bedroom. But really it could have been worked in better. From then on, I started noticing that Woods was dropping in convenient bits of backstory to support her characters new actions and decisions, but again there had been no foundation laid for this newness and a lot of it was contrary to the Rusty and Faith we had come to know. And WTF with the moon goddess thing?!?I also had a lot of problems with the tagging, or lack there of. A lot of time I wasn't sure who was speaking.Still, this was a fun story with great characters who had strong motivations to stay apart and be together. Great tension! You will never look at a Mars Bar the same! And the ice water and hot tea bit? Oh yeah!(
