4.0 out of 5 stars Scorcher! Recommended, February 12, 2002

An editorial assistant for SPICE magazine, Haley Lawton is offered an opportunity to prove her writing skills. She must write four columns, but she is without a sex partner and assigned to write "Spice Up Your Sex Life." Haley's wild and wicked reputation does not bear close scrutiny, and now she must quickly find a partner to explore her fantasies. Indeed, Haley's bed has been empty for a year, since she woke up naked with college heartthrob Dylan Malone, and did not remember what happened between them. What Haley needs is a tutor and she is going to convince Dylan to be the teacher.

It drives Dylan crazy to not remember what happened between them on graduation night a year ago. He assumed her departure was just as well, anyway. He did not want to subject her to his "high-class barracuda friends and his class-conscious family." Now when Haley realizes that she is entirely out of her playing field, she has serious misgivings about her proposition. Dylan, on the other hand, hopes that enacting a few fantasies will get the delectable Haley out of his system. Perhaps when he has the forbidden, he can return to women of his own social status. Never mind none of them ever hold his attention for long.

THE BARE FACTS entwines sensual exploration with a plot of differing social positions keeping these lovers apart. While I thoroughly enjoyed the erotica, explored in scintillating detail, I became terribly impatient with the conflict that keeps Dylan and Haley apart. I have trouble respecting a hero who would allow his social position to dictate his lover. Worse, Dylan does not choose to step beyond such limitations until his peers have already accepted Haley. Social position aside, THE BARE FACTS offers some of the hottest fantasies presented in this line. Each seems to play off women's common desires, such as making love on fur in front of a fire, but the descriptions and sensual exploration gives the fantasies a remarkable freshness. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bare Facts, January 26, 2002

By 

Sonya Johnson (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bare Facts (Harlequin Blaze) (Paperback)

Hold on to your paperbacks ladies! This is one of the most sensual reads I have ever had the pleasure of picking up .
Each page scorches the fingertips with it's sensual moments! I have never read a Harlequin that stirred such erotic imagery and yet holds on to the romantic integrity. To say that I loved this book is an understatement! Finally a romance that was created for the women that longed for more passion and excitement.
Ms. Anders weaves a story line that keeps you turning pages and gasping in shock not to mention wistful musing!I have never been jealous of a fictional character before,but if all men were like "Dylan Malone" there wouldn't be a divorce attorney in the U.S. ! I highly recommend this tale of real love in the year of 2002!

This book was great right from the start. I've read all the books in this new Harlequin Blaze line, and this is one of my favorites! Dylan and Haley have a great attraction, and the supporting characters are wonderful. This book is definately a keeper, and one that you won't be able to put down.
