Book Description

Harlequin Blaze December 1, 2002

Erin Thatcher figures there's no reason she can't have a hot fling with the wrong kind of guy while she waits for Mr. Right to come along. So when she spies a magazine article about Men To Do before saying "I do," her imagination goes wild! Her sexy but reclusive neighbor is part of her fantasies every night, and now it's time to see what Sebastian is like for real....

Sebastian Gallo is a man obsessed. A bestselling author, he uses a pseudonym to ensure his privacy, never letting the real world in. But somehow Erin has consumed his thoughts—in his bed, in his shower—to the point where his writing is suffering. He just can't ignore the heat that exists between them whenever they meet...but can he risk revealing his true self?

More About the Author

Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached thirty that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale.

In 1995, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the "Isn't It Romantic?" episode of CBS 48 Hours. That book, Call Me, was a Romantic Times finalist for Best First Series Book in 1996.

With her first three Temptations on the shelf, she took a break from writing romance novels and spent a few months living one, finding her own hero and practicing every technique she'd learned from a lifetime of reading the best "how-to" manuals around! And the rest, as they say, is history.

Having over thirty titles contracted or in print, she now writes for both the Harlequin Blaze and Kensington Brava lines. She is also a partner in Access Romance, an online author community (http://www.accessromance.com) and DreamForge Media (http://www.dreamforgemedia.com) as a Website designer.

Alison lives in a Houston, Texas, suburb with her hero, any number of their four vagabond kids, and a dog named Smith. Readers can contact her through her web site at http://www.alisonkent.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous blend of romance and erotica, December 9, 2002
This review is from: The Sweetest Taboo (Harlequin Blaze, 68) (Paperback)
Inheriting her grandfather's bar gave Erin Thatcher endless hours of work but not satisfaction. Yet the bar is her legacy from the grandfather who gave up everything to care for her, and Erin intends it to succeed. Late hours and restlessness lead to imaginative interludes with the man in the apartment above hers. Elevator rides, chance encounters in the parking garage or mailroom make her long for more. Then Erin reads an article that motivates her to break all the rules and pursue her desire. She wants sex with a bad boy, a rake, a rapscallion with no guilt and no worries.

Sebastian Gallo lives a very controlled life, allowing no one to come close emotionally. He buries his dark past and hidden pain in his fiction hero Ryder Falco, penning sinister, dark fiction, working out his angst by late night prowling and spending long hours in his opulently decadent shower. Sebastian's solitary existence is a design of his own making as opposed to the horrible years of his childhood. Long ago he vowed he would never look to someone else for security, substance or support. But then, he underestimated the needs of his heart.

THE SWEETEST TABOO combines raw sexual energy with fierce emotional passion in a savvy blend of extremities certain to fulfill the most demanding lover of romance and erotica. Indeed, author Alison Kent has a gift for cutting to the very essence of modern woman's struggle to reconcile her needs and desires with the standards society sets. Sexual freedom does not give Erin the experience she imagines as she struggles to divorce extraordinary sex from its emotional ramifications. Sebastian likewise struggles with self-identity, rejecting his past by create a fictional character that bears the brunt of his dark side. Further, the pace of the novel maintains a gripping edge as both Erin and Sebastian struggle with their inner demons and deepest desires. A titillating read with gritty detail and fierce emotion, THE SWEETEST TABOO comes very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Erotic Romance At Its Best!!, December 18, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sweetest Taboo (Harlequin Blaze, 68) (Paperback)
What a launch to the newest series from Blaze! Alison Kent writes incredible contemporary women. The dialogue is so authentic, the worries about careers and men so very real. And this story pushes the sexual envelope in the best ways. I dont think Ive read anything this hot in months. I'll never look at a bottle of champagne the same way again. Sebastian is literally a hero to die for. Sexy and enigmatic and passionate beyond belief. This is what erotic romance should be!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hot! Hot! Hot!, January 4, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sweetest Taboo (Harlequin Blaze, 68) (Paperback)
I've read a lot of romance novels but I think this one was the hottest! I enjoyed this book a great deal. I would have given it a 5 star rating if it weren't for a sentence structure problem that seemed to run all through the book. It was hard for me to follow at some points for that reason. I guess I know now why they made us diagram sentences in school it's too bad the author was absent that year.
