Summer Projects:
1) Get in shape

Tess Blakely's innocence is getting downright embarrassing. But growing up in a small town with four very big brothers ...well, she might as well have been wearing a chastity belt. She's read loads of books about sex, but now she needs some hands-on training. And her best friend, "Mac" MacDougal, looks like the perfect teacher....

Mac can't believe the sexy siren propositioning him is the girl he's known forever. Suddenly Tess is on his mind, in his fantasies ...and setting the sheets on fire in his bed! And he's thinking about keeping her there indefinitely. But Tess is supposed to leave at the end of the summer. And Mac can only hope their blazing nights together mean more to her than research...

5.0 out of 5 stars Very sexy, extremely emotionally intense read!, October 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pure Temptation (Blaze) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

This is a fabulous book. I hope it wins the RITA for short contemporary romance. It is one of the best short contemporaries I've read this year, and definitely the *best* BLAZE I've read, and many of them have been *very* good. I agree with what the other people above said, very HOT, and I love a hot read. The premise for the conflict is very believable, and I personally love a "friends become lovers" plot. I also felt the small town theme was extremely well done. I, too, am now looking for more of VLT's books! :)

This review is from: Pure Temptation (Blaze) (Harlequin Temptation) (Paperback)

This enchanting read is about the relationship of two best friends. Tess Blakely, a 26 year old virgin needed her best friend's help, Jeremiah 'Mac' MacDougal to find a sex partner for her. The assignment? Lost virginity. The reason? She was preparing her NY moves, and she was embrassed if anybody know her virgin status. Mac suggested himself as he vowed to keep this assignment to secrecy (after all, he was her best friend). The last thing that both of them expected from this arrangement is simply falling in love with each other. Fast paced and quick witted, not to forget, funny, this is an engaging story with lots of steamy scene. Tess' four very big brothers were simply adorable even though they are over protective about her. Who would have thought that Tess would be falling hard for her own best friend? After all, Mac was her best friend and was considered as an honorary Blakely, like a fifth brother inside the family. A wonderful contemporary short romance, this will surely delights readers. The book will surely touch a woman's soft spot about her own's vunerability.

I like Vicki Lewis Thompson, always enjoy her books, but when I read this new title of hers in the Harlequin Temptation BLAZE line, I couldn't put it down! I was literally reading it in the car (hubby was driving of course) when we had to go out because I wasn't finished the book! It was funny and sexy and a really fun read.
