Review: A quick, sexy read but didn't feel "Austin, TX" authentic

Set in my old stomping ground of Austin TX, A Night of Misbehaving was a trip down memory lane, with its whirlwind tour of the Austin hot spots and culture. The story itself is much more "normal" than many of the contemporary romances out there today... no military guys with their insanely dangerous jobs, no billionaires with their innocent ingenues, no vamps or weres waiting to sink their sensual teeth into their unsuspecting human partners. This story is about real people, single "Super Mom" and "Sexy Dad" who do normal parent activities and love their children and just want to take a night for themselves. And hey, if that night of misbehaving turns into more, everybody wins.The heat between Brent and Georgia is good and the initial clash of their personalities is believable. The one thing that kept pulling me out of the story, though, was the dialogue. It felt a little to formal or "written" to be truly conversational, especially in the heat of the moment and knowing first-hand how people in Austin actually speak. I just can't see Brent telling Georgia he wants to "climax" inside her or her telling him she wants to see how she "affects" him. Not to say that's how ALL people in Austin speak, but it just didn't resonate with this Texan gal.Otherwise though, this is a fun quick read with a 'happily-for-now' ending. If you like the 1 Night Stand series from Decadent Publishing, you'll probably also enjoy this and others from Entangled's Indulgence line.
