MY OPINION

The pink on the cover reflects the sweet stories inside, yet they are steamy as well.

This compilation caters to that craving we may have for something good and quick. Lots of themes to choose from, too. I liked `There All Along´ as it's friends to lovers who grow intimate one night of unexpected closeness. The transition from playful to romantic was very nice.

`More than Words´ is my all-time favourite of the bunch. The fervent emotions seep through the pages and what starts as a cheeky deal turns into a love-fest. The premise is quite a hook. A writer needs to do research in order to write the steamy scenes of a novel, so she ends up propositioning her writer friend who teaches her the most enlightening class of Pleasure 101 ever. I loved the banter, the words, the exciting passion and the romantic ending.

The nest story, `Taking the Risk´ is one of those forbidden office romances that work so well because they mix supressed feelings and lots of need. I loved the serendipitous way the characters finally cross the line and give in to temptation. Fun and very sexy.

Then, Sara's friend, Ann, is the main character in the next story which is also a great way to link tales and awaken curiosity. A little misunderstanding added to the couple's fated HEA.

A wedding is full of chances in `Hook Me Up´ when a cheeky man seduces his frenemy into a night of wild passion. It was a little temptation, naughty and sweet at the same time.

`Just One Favor´ is the craziest one of the lot. It starts with a girl asking for a very bold and intimate favour from a male friend and it derails into real passion and a last-minute rescue. Quite fun!

ABOUT THE MASTERMIND

Lilly Avalon is the thirty-something author of the RESIST series and
other romance books. She started to pen her first erotica at twelve
years old, but her mom found the "dirty story" and threw it away,
which was just as well because it wasn't that good. At all. Luckily,
she continued to write stories for years until she rediscovered her
love of sexy tales in her late twenties.

Lilly currently resides in Ohio with her husband and pet rodents.
Lilly Avalon is a pen name.

ENJOY AN EXCERPT

Maybe this was a better idea on paper. Okay, it might have been thrown out before it made it to the editor. The look on Landon's face nearly says it all, and it makes me second-guess my brain after a few vodka cranberries. The time it takes for him to respond to what I just told him cements my thoughts on this being a mistake.

“So,” he says finally, drawing out the word comically. “You're going
to write a bodice ripper.”

I reach out and cover his mouth. “Don't be so loud.” I glance around
quickly. I don't need anyone eavesdropping on this conversation.
“And it's not a bodice ripper.” It's more like a panty ripper.

He rolls his eyes as he peels my hand away. “Nobody can hear us,
and who cares if they can.” His face suddenly brightens with
realization. “Ooh! Does that mean the cover will have one of those
ripped guys? You know all buff and tan?”

Rolling my eyes, I say, “Um, hello? It's a Juliet Oliver book. Of course
it will.”

“Ooh! Could I be on the cover?” He stands up and poses with a hand
on his hips and his chest out.

I burst out laughing and grab at his arm to tug him back down to his
seat. “They choose stock photos for the covers. Sorry.”

He gives me a fake frown. “Fine. Dash my hopes to pieces. I see how
it is.” He raises an eyebrow, adding a playful smile.
