"If I tied your hands while I _______ you, or spanked your pretty ____ until it turned pink, you'd let me?""It's not that I'd let you. I want you to. I want to do...everything...with you."Mason is a young, sexy veterinarian. Andy is a 40 year old, divorced, mother of one. What do these two have in common? A whole lot of chemistry! Mason first sees Andy at a baseball game where she is watching her sons little league game. He immediately thinks she's gorgeous and slips her his number after "accidently" hitting her with a baseball. Andy decides to go for it and gives the younger Mason a call.First things first, this book is smoking hot. Not only is the sex HOT, it's also plentiful. There was alley sex, car sex, back-door sex...There was a whole lot of banging going on throughout the book. I loved that Andy was confident in her sexuality. She wasn't afraid to ask for what she wanted which is so refreshing to read, especially when so many books I've read lately, the male leads are the ones calling the shots.Last night, oral sex in an alley. Tonight, screwing in a parking lot. To hell with clean and horizontal, she wanted to mount him right here in the front seat and ride him until the windows steamed solid.And Mason didn't disappoint either. He was confident, accommodating, and just plain sexy. His desire to have more than a sexual relationship with Andy along with his patience when dealing with some of her insecurities was very appealing. He definitely aimed to give her what she wanted."Harder," she said when he backed out again."Harder."She wanted it hard, wanted him to lose control? Wanted him to own her, to show her what he wasn't going to let her run away? He curled his fingers into the fleshy curve of her ___. Looked her in her eyes and slammed into her. Again and Again.Now, a couple problems I had with the book. Maybe I am just progressively open-minded but I didn't think the age difference was that big of a deal. Ten years? That's nothing. Now if Andy was 40 and Mason was 20,maybe that would be more of an issue. For such a confident and self-assured woman in her professional life and her sex life, I found Andy's hang up on the age difference to be surprising. And although the age difference issue comes up right from the beginning Andy doesn't deal with it head on which was so frustrating. It continues to cause all kind of problems for her and Mason. The second issue I have is with Mason. The book ended and I actually was kind of peeved at him. Ummm...excuse me...you do NOT leave a pile of belongings along with a break up note on your girlfriend's porch when you're in an adult relationship. I mean seriously? I know he put up with a lot of immature actions from Andy but to end things like that? My heart hurt for Andy and I couldn't help but think that even after Mason came across as such a nice guy he really was an ____Hole. Of course, Andy forgives him...blah blah blah. I'm not quite sure I did. That was pretty dirty. One quick note, Andy acted the professional when dealing with Mason's mom regarding the wedding dresses. No way in hell I would have agreed to be involved with that wedding. That woman was a nightmare.I was still coming off a high from reading More Than Words (which I completely adored) when I started reading Game Plan. To say that I had a major crush on Karla Doyle when starting this book may be an understatement. That being said, it also means my expectations for Game Plan were through the roof. Karla Doyle is certainly a five start author. Her writing creates some of the best chemistry between characters as I've ever read. A lot of authors write sexy with no humor. Karla Doyle does a great job of combining both which made Game Plan and More Than Words such great reads. And Lord have mercy, the steam! TOTALLY HOT! All that being said, both Mason and Andy left me frustrated at times which unfortunately kept this from being a five star read for me. Game Plan was still a great, sexy read that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys well written steamy romances. I look forward to more from this author
