5.0 out of 5 stars
entertaining contemporary romance, May 26, 2004
This review is from: Old Enough to Know Better (Mass Market Paperback)
At Beckworth Public Relations, the women are drooling over a hunk from Ashton landscaping. They decide to play the straw game with the babe that draws the biggest having to find a way to make the dude drool from desire. Kasey Braddock wins the contest. Although she would prefer to have not entered, her image means everything in the upscale youthful modern PR office; thus, she grabs a bottle of water to introduce herself to the stud as a happening chick "so redy". Kasey recognizes Sam Ashton, who she had a crush on years ago when he was the friend of her older stepbrother, but he does not recognize the beautiful woman giving him the water. He had noticed her earlier and sees this opportunity to ask her out, which she accepts. Not long afterward, she remains committed to his drooling one time, but he wants her for all time. This entertaining contemporary romance starts as a fun read with the office women salivating over visiting hunks while the men are stunned with how far the females will go with the games. When the lead couple begins dating, the plot deftly switches gear so that the audience can see what motivates the protagonists. Of major enjoyment is to watch Sam realize that the woman he is falling in love is not the image of hip that Kasey portrays, but the kindhearted caring soul that she really is though the target of his affection cannot believe he recognized her inner essence. Fans will appreciate this fine tale. Harriet Klausner

Hot Romance Novel!, June 28, 2005
This review is from: Old Enough to Know Better (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a really hot read - good, sizzling hot scenes between Kasey and Sam. She recognizes him as one of her older step-brother's friends, but knows that he doesn't recognize her. He also doesn't realize how old she is - she is only 20 - but managed to graduate college early because she is super smart and skipped grades in school. This doesn't bother her since she plans to leave it at a one night stand, but he has other ideas - forever ideas - until he finds out just how young she really is - then the tables are turned and she has to try to convince him that she is old enough to know what she wants and mature enough to settle down. Another excellent read by Vicki Lewis Thompson.

A fantasy>getting on fast>youth>predictable, March 13, 2008
This review is from: Old Enough to Know Better (Mass Market Paperback)
Like other reviewers I enjoyed the book. Yet I read it quicker than any other. It is not complex. She sees & recognizes the dream guy from her youth. He sees a hot gal with the sexiest butt and licence IM REDY. In coincidental events they meet. Just as she is ready to leave him,his kiss floors her and arouses deep passion. They go out for coffee and wind up making passionate love as he brings her to orgasm more than she ever hoped
for. In doing so he is also taken in by her brazen passion such as getting
whipped cream & chocolate pudding. She tastes the whipped cream on his
breasts. Then they share both ingredients via oralizing. So much focus on sex, where is the dialogue? And after being satisfied more than he ever dreamed up, suddenly the fact she is a bit younger than he thought
makes her less desirable? Most men would welcome the tight youth. He walks out on her verbally but his drives increase as they are split.
She wanted a sexcape but winds up wanting him more and then making a
commitment to marriage.
This is a great sex-romance novel but one wonders what will keep them together after the sheets get a bit thin? The book is hard to put down as one seeks the climax (sic) or inevitable conclusion. I like something
medium rare. Some may find the book well done, others too rare and most
reviewers just as desired. I find it a bit too quick, too rare. More
cooking would have taken me to 5****. The cover is a turn-on but the
book isn't quite there.
