Review: Sizzling yet sweet
Rating: 4 out of 5

Wear oven mitts while reading this one ladies - it brings the heat, as well as the spice.  I would give it 4 1/2 stars if possible.  I reserve 5 stars for stories that make me cry and/or laugh aloud.  While this one did neither, it did give me a huge case of 2 deadly sins - envy and lust.  Oh my!  Christian Grey is a hack compared to this guy!  JB3 is a much better boyfriend, and I just love his moniker.  In addition to the steamy, spicy, juicy, sizzling sex scenes, (hmm) there is also a tender love story - which is ultimately what we all want… once we have caught our breath, cleaned ourselves up, and changed our clothes after getting through the steamy, spicy, and juicy stuff.  Ms. Witt has done a fabulous job as I cared about and for all the characters, even the ancillary ones.  I feel invested in them, wish them well, and want to know what happens to them - all signs of a good tale.  Obviously, given the title states Vol. 1, it is meant to be a series, which I typically don't care for, but this one had an ending and can stand on it's own.  No irritating cliffhanger - which I personally despise as much as flying cockroaches and biting ants.  Ms. Witt calls herself a stay-at-home mom.  I call her an insightful and talented author.  I hope to be reading more of her breath-stealing work for years to come.  Make me cry next time and I'll give you 5 stars ;)
