With clever insight into the mind (and decisions) of a writer, Taylor has managed to provide a story that works on two levels and both are entertaining.  While by day Claire is a relatively buttoned up professional staff writer for a cutting edge eMagazine, she really doesn’t come alive until after hours, when she allows her fantasies to take over, and she writes steamy erotica .  When a tragedy sends her back to her hometown, she comes face to face with the man who broke her heart years ago, and begins to unravel the misconceptions about him, and discovers a side of her sister that she had suppressed or ignored for years.  When caffeine and wi-fi deprivation lead her to mistakenly email one of her erotic stories to her publisher, and the parent company decides to run with a new venture into erotic eBooks, her secret is out and she has only to move forward happily, or unhappily.Interactions are fast paced and well written, with conversations being realistic and, at times, quite funny.  Claire is a solidly defined and well developed character, and we get to see her growth as she deals with new situations and challenges.  Dustin is finally freeing himself from the corporate hamster wheel, having never forgotten about Claire, and his reactions are so well described and defined they are palpable.  The sex is steamy, rivalling Claire’s first bit of erotica she shares with readers early in the book, and the style of Claire’s “writing” and Susan D. Taylor’s is incrementally different: a clever technique.  This is a fun story, touching on author issues, writer issues and above all, dealing with those members of your family who needed to be put in their place long ago.I received an eBook copy from the author for purpose of honest review for the Jeep Diva. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own responsibility.
