Wow, the sex scenes in this book were very, very steamy! I didn't expect HQ Blaze novels to venture into (light) bondage and stuff like that, but I should have seen it coming when I found out that the heroine wears a dominatrix costume to go to her high-school reunion party. That was all good and sexy, but the story as a whole didn't work too well for me.

My biggest problem was its "high-school vibe": all the characters in this book, from the geeky hero and the angsty heroine to the arrogant football jock and the jealous cheerleader, acted like they were still in their teens and not in their late twenties, and I didn't care for it. Dex was sexy but too "needy" for my taste, Zoe was nice but too hung-up on her dreadful high-school years, and I felt that their relationship was unbalanced (his love was stronger than hers). My favorite character in the story was Dex's grandmother - the woman was a hoot! - and it's never a good sign when I'm more interested in reading about a secondary character than in following the H/h's relationship.

Overall, this was a so-so book that was "saved" by the love scenes. If you're in the mood for a titillating read and don't mind the teen angst, go for it.

I love this book. It was my first time reading Tawny Weber but it won't be my last one. This is a very sexy story between two best friends ( Zoe and Dex) that are reunited in a high school reunion after ten years. The characters are well developed and every page is a turn over. Highly recommended.

I have become a BOG fan of Tawny Webber's books, and this was another feather in her writing cap. Great book, LOVED it! I have been hooked into this Harlequin series, Dressed to Thrill. All the stories center around a mix up in a costume rental. It's a fun and sexy read that I highly recommend. I listened to the audiobook, which I loved so much, I also bought a paper copy!
