5.0 out of 5 stars Smoking hot and sexy, January 21, 2010

This review is from: What She Needs (Mass Market Paperback)

Lacey Alexander delivers another smoking hot story in. What She Needs.

Jenna Banks doesn't think she has a problem with her sex life. She is happy with the way things are even though it has been awhile between partners. Her friends shock and surprise her with a vacation to Hotel Erotique. Jenna at first is leery of going but decides to at least give it a try. A last minute glitch has her handler being changed from a woman to a man. This man causes Jenna pulses to race and long dormant body parts to tingle.

Brent Powers has always enjoyed his work at the resort. He takes pride in helping others to embrace their sexual side. Brent thought he had his life all figured out that is until he met Jenna Banks. Jenna has a hidden sensuality that intrigues him. Brent starts a slow and steady seduction that no normal woman can resist.

Jenna is very reluctant to take part in all the resort has to offer. But Brent's teaching has her reaching for things she never thought she wanted.

What She Needs by Lacey Alexander is exactly what erotic writing should be. Its all out sexy and pushes the boundaries. Jenna and Brent have real issues and real feelings that add another layer to this fascinating book.

4.0 out of 5 stars I was kinda curious about books by this writer..., June 11, 2010

...as my other half enjoys them, so I stole it from her and had a quick read. I guess this is a Venus and Mars thing, my beloved thinks these books are the cat's whiskers and she certainly enjoys them. For myself, as a male reader, I found it impossible to suspend my rational side and enter into the fantasy. The whole plot just seemed way too implausible and to be frank, as a male reader the whole *ahem* copulation thing just wasn't that "stimulating." And the lead male character struck me as a prize prat! Like I said, Venus and Mars.

Based on my other half's reaction, I would happily recommend this book to female readers who want a good read of a book in this line, althought the whole plot is rather thin and many of the "scenes" are rather contrived. For male readers - just give it a miss, you'll be bored to tears half way thru (or earlier).

And if anyone asks why I gave it 4 stars, it's because it's my beloved's book, she purchased it and she rates it highly and I'm certainly not going to argue with her :) over the rating.

"Prepare to be swept away on an erotic journey of sexual awakening! Suspend what you know about the male stamina and you'll be entertained by the various sexual situations Jenna experiences. Her journey is made believable by the relationship that develops between her and Brent. The imagery and attention to detail will thrust you right into the sensual fantasies and erotic adventures. Jenna is smart and confident in herself, but Brent makes her realize how much her past has hindered her sexuality. I loved the emotional roller coaster Jenna experienced and how she stayed true to her personality throughout the book while opening her mind to what Brent shared with her. I can honestly say this book grabbed my attention from the first chapter and kept me captivated until the final page. This author does a great job writing sex scenes where the reader actually feels the emotion between the characters, even when the emotion shouldn't be there. What She Needs is very sensual, erotic and will open your mind to infinite possibilities!" - Lisa Freeman
