The bright and fun cover is what first drew me to this book, and the story inside is just as fun and sexy, too. This is a hot read, very flirty with the sexual tension and chemistry between Lachlan and Cam, and I enjoyed the push-pull between these two. Both have issues, with Lochlan being narrow-minded about models and with Cam being more that damaged soul, not really over what happened to her years ago.Cam was a famous model about sixteen years ago, and when something traumatic happened to her, she left the job, hiding herself away in the comfort and safety of anonymity, of being a photographer, the person behind the lens. When Lachlan was a teenager he had a huge poster of her and a huge crush as well. She was his fantasy, still is, but his own issues about models and that lifestyle color his perception of Cam.I loved that Cam was attracted to Lachlan and decided to take a chance on a man, to flirt and to pursue him. Those early exchanges between them are sexy and provocative, and I liked how Cam was sexually confident, mixing some of her old self with the vulnerable but stronger woman she is now. That scene with them playing Twister at the party was very erotic and tight, rubbing against each other, and then fooling around on the Twister mat, playful going straight to hot. But when Lachlan slips up and shows his jerky side, I really appreciated Cam telling his butt off: "You may be the most amazing lover I've ever had, but you're also a wanker." I love when a woman sets a man straight. (But Lachlan does have his sweet, tender moments.)Twister is a very sexy read and a light read, with plenty of heat, plenty of erotic scenes, lots of good hot details and description, but there's also some depth added to the story, with these issues both characters have. That whole dynamic of them both letting go and trusting, that idea of opening up to each other totally, about everything, just added some darker colors to the bright, fun story, making character and the romance more meaningful. I need to feel that in a romance, even a short one.Yes, I loved the fun sex, the hot sex, making out on the Twister mat, and on a soccer field, not to mention the very hot scene in the kitchen (a whole other meaning to eating out), but I also needed that feeling that these two people were searching for something and finding it in each other. And I got that here. This is book 3 in the Party Games series, but you can definitely read it as a stand-alone. I did and really enjoyed it, and now I want to check out the other games and books in the series. A good sexy read, and a great way to spend an hour or so today.
