One month ago sexual therapist Esther Knight died. Vanessa magazine owner Beth Cantro needed someone to take over the deceased sexpert's column written under the pseudonym Esther Scott. Beth turned to her friend Dr. Amanda O'Neal to take over the column. Knowing that she probably will not receive tenure at Harmons College due to her former relationship with Bob Burns, now head of the Psych department, a reluctant Amanda, feeling she is in over her head (no pun intended), agrees.

Private investigator Zachary Grant investigates the murder of Dr. Knight in New York. He visits Amanda in her Maryland Eastern Shore home seeking clues, but instead the duo vibrates with horniness for one another. When someone tries to kill Amanda, Zach offers his protection. Soon they are making love and falling in love, but a killer still lurks.

BEDROOM THERAPY is a torrid private investigative romance with the heated emphasis on the equatorial hot relationship between the sleuth and the doctor. The story line is fun to follow especially when Zach and Amanda compete to turn the other on (not that it took much). The murder subplot is more an impetus to bring the dynamic duo together so that the honorary chains of love can bind them.

Lots of hot seduction scenes but not much of a story line. She's a Ph.D. in human sexuality (with little experience) and he's an ex-cop with a "problem" since his ex-wife left him. He seemed a little too "Beta" for a cop. She has taken over the sexual advice column in a magazine and someone is out to kill her. He's sent to protect her. Their relationship is too hot then cold to be believable.

This was not one of the best Blaze books I've read, but it also was not one of the worst... I would have preferred if Amanda had more hang-ups (or a more extended storyline... tell us more about what happened with the guy at Harmons), instead of making all the conflict come from Zach. The sex scenes were hot, but too unrealistic to really be enjoyed. I don't understand how these books make the couple fall madly in love with each other, to the point of MARRIAGE, after only a week of knowing one another.
Read this only if you have NOTHING better on your shelf... And get it from the library; don't waste money on it!
