Title: Corny and trite...
Review: I adore Susan Johnson (well, her older work), but I have a feeling she's simply stopped trying. Her historical fiction is among some of my fave erotica reads, and a handful of her contemporary books (Hot Legs, Blonde Heat) are entertaining, but this one...pitiful.I'm guessing the dialogue between the two main characters is supposed to be pithy and sexy. Unfortunately it comes off as cheesy, like dialogue you might find in a bad 70s porno. I actually cringed during certain parts of the book, and at one point I said outloud, "Ohmygod, who talks like that?"As for the overabundance of sex, well, it IS erotica so I expected lots of steamy yumyums, but I expected them to be...better. More erotic dialogue, more detail and a hint of emotion from the characters. Nope, not in this book.If erotica is your thing, I highly recommend checking out Emma Holly. I have yet to be disappointed by ANYTHING she has produced. As for Susan...sigh...I think her time has passed.
