Review: Sexy, but...
Rating: 3 out of 5

I just finished reading What She Wants. I won't go into a synopsis but I will give my thoughts.It was sexy and I got their connection right away. However, the story was quick and I didn't feel the development between the characters. What makes a good romance is their romantic development aside from the sex. I have read many short books like this that were high on the sensual aspect of the character's relationship but also developed a reason why they wanted to be together - outside of the bedroom.I got Gage's hunger for her. I got Summer's fear of getting involved after her husband's death. I even got their attraction. But the rest I didn't get. In this story, Ms. Rainey 'told' me that they talked about other things, 'told' me that Summer had reservations about their relationship, but I never 'felt' that it was so. It seemed rushed, hasty, and not that satisfying in the end.A quick read filled with sensual energy, to me it falls a little flat in plot line development.Would I recommend it? Maybe.Added 10-31-11: I finished the second book in the series last night and it is so much better than the first in building the angst. It is short but the third book pickes up where the second left off. Higher marks for What She Craves: Cape May, Book 2.
