Rating: 5 out of 5

Every true Nicholas fan knows how well she can spin a steamy romance.  No one can hook a reader like Erin Nicholas can and the first line of Getting of Hand is no exception.  Right from the start, she grabs the reader’s attention and doesn’t let go until it’s over. As always, she leaves fans wanting more but not in a way that’s unsatisfying or unfinished.In every one of her novels, Nicholas’ heroes are larger than life who make us drool and pray that by some miracle they’re going to spring from the pages straight into our bedrooms. They’re firefighters, doctors, paramedics and the like with one thing in common; they seem too good to be true.With her latest offering, Getting out of Hand, Nicholas has again given us a doctor in her male lead, Mason Riley, but this man breaks the mold. Mason isn’t a medical doctor. He’s a PHD with a genius level IQ and the ultimate ugly-duckling-turned-swan. Dr. Riley is not only rich but a humanitarian whose work is going to change the world for the better. What more could a woman ask for?  How about the fact that Dr. Riley has no clue just how sexy he’s become? Sure, he knows he’s cleaned up well, thanks to some help from his best friend and business partner, Lauren, but there’s still some self-doubt lurking under the confident faade that makes us love him even more.As if Dr. Riley wasn’t enough to make this story great, Nicholas did something that isn’t being done enough in romance novels. She broke away from the stereotypical model-type running rampant in most romance novels by making her female lead a buxom, curvy blonde with a brain! Better yet, she portrayed this woman as confident in her own skin, giving women everywhere a wonderful role model.Not only does Nicholas give us great characters that we’re pulling for from the beginning, but she does it with her signature steamy style. I cannot say enough about how well her sex scenes are crafted. Rather than reading like a sex manual, she takes us on journey with her characters that’s definitely hot but still manages to come across as tasteful.I finished the book in just a few hours, as I’ve done with every other novel written by this author, and I’m already clamoring for the second book in the series.
