Review: Surprisingly engaging - standout characters!
Rating: 4 out of 5

I loved the back and forth of Tarek and Lyra - their dialogue was hilarious! I found this short all the more intriguing for the fact that Tarek was trying to live a somewhat normal life - and something about that was endearing. In spite of what the book implies, that he has no clue about many things from yardwork to cooking, I think there are some men like that out there (I ought to know..I married one! LOL) so it wasn't as strong a premise for me.The sex was great, as always, erotic, steamy, and gritty. Don't read these if you can't take it. No "throbbing loins" or "flower petal" type stuff here. Lots of graphic language and acts. HOT!The reason for the 4 stars when I actually enjoyed this as much as some of her full length novels? A nitpick to be sure but it seemed like there was at least a ", though" at the end of many sentences. When they could have just ended. It, literally, pulled me out of the story enough for me to reduce the rating. I'm not normally picky about grammar and typo's - but this had me clenching my teeth (when I OUGHT to have been clenching other body parts - BUMMER!)!
