I've seen this book floating around, and was so happy that it was on Netgalley! This was such a hawt, steamy read! I loved it.
Dr. Jarod Reed sees Nora MacGregor on her way to do laundry every week while he teaches class. He doesn't see her on campus any other time, and tired of not meeting her he decides on a whim to cut class short to meet her. Nora is jumpy after a break in, and when he comes up behind her gives him a what for with some pepper spray..when she realizes he's a professor, the two start talking and agree to a coffee date. What she doesn't realize is that in the process of defending herself, she lost her interview tape & pages of her dissertation paper. She's in a tailspain, because those interviews are her whole paper. Jarod (of course) finds the tape, and when he calls her to tell her, she doesn't recognize his voice, and he has some fun with it...
He pretends to be James, and says that he'll give her back her dissertation one page at a time if she talks dirty to him because he's so intrigued by her interviews and writings. Desperate to get her pages back, she agrees. She finds out that the calls bring out a side of her she didn't know existed, and despite herself finds herself looking forward to them. At the same time, she's spending more time with Jarod and loves his kindness. When Nora starts having feelings for Jarod, she feels guilty about her sexually charged phone calls with James, and doesn't know how to choose between the two. (let me tell you, those phone calls are sizzling hot!) Jarod though, has totally created a mess for himself, because he doesn't know how to tell Nora that he is in fact James. When Nora finds out that he is the same person, Jarod thinks that he ruined whatever chance he has with her.
I really liked Nora and Jarod. The story is so much better and hotter then what I've described here...there were a couple of times when I wish I had a fan handy because the love scenes where so steamy! I loved the dynamics between Nora and Jarod and his alter ego James. For such a short story, there were a lot of layers to this erotica, the characters were well developed, there was a storyline outside of the love scenes, and most importantly it was just a fun steamy read! I can't wait to read more by these two authors.
