PLEASURE EXCHANGE

Author: Cathryn Fox ISBN: 9780060898571 2/2008 EROTIC Publisher: AVON RED

Who better than Sam York—a super-brain blessed with the body of an Adonis—to head up the research team entrusted with developing the greatest scientific breakthrough since Viagra? His experiments with female libido enhancers need one more crucial test: on a willing human subject. And when ace reporter Cathleen Nichols, the sexy, nosy neighbor Sam's been lusting for, exposes the lab's provocative work in a revealing article, the genius stud knows he's found the perfect participant. Though Cat has kept her feelings hidden, Sam has been secretly stoking her inner fires for months. Now, with Sam's "wonder formula" tossed into the mix, their unleashed passion is off the charts, rocketing them together into the stratosphere of erotic ecstasy, no emotional strings attached. In the name of science and journalistic investigation, suddenly nothing is taboo. But what happens when Sam and Cat's sizzling, sensual pleasure game starts to turn into the real thing?

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

PLEASURE EXCHANGE by Cathryn Fox is a decadent, delicious treat! I gobbled this in one sitting. When it was done, I felt like I had eaten a box of really good, expensive chocolates.completely satisfied.

Sam is the perfect hero. He's got a body to die for, brains that could fill two heads and sex appeal dripping from every pore. He has been eyeing Cathleen, his neighbor, for some time, but when Cat, a journalist, exposes the experimental sexual enhancement tests he's working on, he decides to pull her into his work. It seems to be an ideal arrangement-the two of them "working" together on a sexual experiment. Really, who would turn down that kind of working arrangement?

The fact that Sam and Cat become more than sex buddies, that their relationship burgeons from the "work" world and into the emotional is no surprise. From the moment the scenario is laid out, the reader knows that's where this couple is headed. But what the reader doesn't expect, can't predict, is the level of intimacy between this hero and heroine. Sure, the sex is scorching, but the reader expects that. I was pleasantly shocked to see the emotional depth between Sam and Cat. They connect in more ways than just in the bedroom.

PLEASURE EXCHANGE is a fast, smart, romantic read that is worth reading more than once. Me? I know I'm going to read this again.and again.and again!
