This review is from: 1-900-Lover (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

Rowan Crosswhite loses her high school science teaching position due to funding cutbacks. To eat, she desperately tries to bring in income beyond substituting by opening up a 900 sex phone line. She finds working weeds in her garden while exciting customers helps her get through the detestable job.

Will Foster, owner of Foster's landscape Design, is outraged to find six calls adding up to $1000 on his monthly phone bill. He knows his seventeen years old nephew Scott made the call, but decides to confront the owner of 1-900-Lover for having phone sex with a minor. A friend gets Rowan's name and number for him. Will visits with hostile intent until he sees how cute her butt looks. When she runs the tape of her calls with Scott, he realizes she helped him with his science homework. Will likes what she has done with her garden and offers her a consulting fee with a testy customer. As they fall in love, Will wants Rowan to hang up on the phone so that she will only have sex with him on the sheets.

This reviewer found it difficult to accept a science teacher not only needing to find work when that discipline is always in demand but also taking a phone sex position. Still the lead couple pairs nicely although the real conflict ends early once Will hears the first tape. As readers root for Rowan to have sex only with Will, fans also will wonder if Scott can figure out who is the beautiful woman his uncle is madly in love with and visa versa.
