Kerri refuses to repeat the mistakes of her mother and sister by becoming dependent on a man. The intent is great, but her determination to be independent makes her closed off from friends who just want to help and see her succeed. Ian, her on-air fantasy turn real life lover, is among those she pushes away. Will he forgive her when she realizes she isn't over her past as she claims to be and that her determination is really fear?
Ian lost the love of his life in a car accident. He blames himself and has yet to try to find love again. That is, until he hears Kerri's radio show. His attraction to her is so strong he doesn't understand it, but he wants more. He hasn't felt this alive and years, but Kerri doesn't want a relationship. Ian is determined to show that she can have both, independence and love.
This a sweet story, and Kerri's character will definitely resonate with readers with similar struggles. She's a very relatable character.

Kerri is a radio talk show host on all topics concerning relationships and sex. What her listeners don't know, is that she has more book knowledge than practical knowledge on the subject. She has a male caller, Ian, who starts to call her show daily.
On air, Ian and Kerri have sizzling chemistry, witty banter and lots of flirtatious fun. Over weeks of daily calls, they develop a friendship. Kerri's friend and program director convinces Kerri to meet Ian in person. They move from friends, to lovers, to more but Kerri has a hard time, because of her past, with feeling she can commit emotionally without giving up her independence and the direction she wants her future to move in.
This couple has a lot to learn from each other, in the bedroom and about trust, love and second chances at happiness. The sexy times are especially potent. You will find yourself relating to both characters and cheering them toward a well deserved happily ever after.

Erika Wilde is one author who knows how to write smoking hot stories, and this one is no exception. Kerri is a radio talk show host who likes to talk about sex. Ian is one of her listeners who calls in, seduced by her sexy voice. The banter between them is so hot that you can feel the chemistry between them. When they meet, it gets even hotter. The only question is, Kerri can talk the talk, but can she walk the walk? This was a book I couldn't put down. I really enjoyed both characters and how the story unfolded. This is one hot, sexy read that I definitely recommend.

This is the BEST BOOK I've read in FOREVER!!! I would give it 7 stars if I could.
Can we turn this book into a manual for men called, 'How to Turn on Women' because it's all about the F's - Flirting, Fun & Foreplay.
On a serious note the characters were REAL with fears, hopes & dreams - you will feel as if they are your friends and family while you cheer them on to find the love & happiness they deserve.

Erika Wilde is known for Turning Up the Heat, so this story is aptly named. It's a slow, sensual buildup meant to tease and tantalize, and it does that and more. Watching this sweet, highly-skilled hero coax the cautious heroine to open up to new experiences and ultimately love was highly exhilarating.

This was my first read from this author and I am so glad I found her. A wonderful writing style with great character development and realistic plot and dialogue, plus a steamy relationship...what more can a reader ask for? Definitely looking forward to reading more by Erika Wilde.

The characters were really likable. The conflict in the story was resolved in a good way without dragging things out while the main characters heaped a whole bunch of hurt on each other. There want enough character/story development to make me come back to read the story over and over, so I knocked off a star. Otherwise it is really a well written romantic piece.

Liked the premise behind the book and both characters were extremely likeable with lots of sex appeal. Ian was the perfect guy being both overtly sexy and quietly charismatic. Recommend

Ian and Kerri ❣
Reviewed in Australia on March 14, 2018Verified Purchase
Firstly, I’d like to mention that I have read much by Erika but this blurb appealed to me when I first saw it! Kerri is a night time talk host with one of Chicago’s smaller radio stations and discusses hot topics such as sex and orgasms. What her audience doesn’t know is that she has only had sex a few times and each time wasn’t very good, which leads to her knowledge base being purely from her book resources. For the last month, she has had a very sexy male voice on her show by the name of Ian - his insight into many topics has brought their chemistry and fantasies to the forefront especially when he surprises her by asking her on a date!
Loved Ian and his old fashioned values and how he slowly reels Kerri in, but gives her space when she requires it, as she has experienced many different things in her childhood which causes her to live in fear of her decisions, until her friend helps her see the light.
Very sexy and hot read, loved the characters and their chemistry:) Worth a read!

Found myself skimming through the good sex scenes because I wanted to get to the point of the story. No conflict, no drama, no setting, which made it a little boring.
