Pisces

“Career and love will intersect–are you ready to play?” Experience has taught ad exec Logan Moore that office affairs always end in disaster. Which is why his online romance with Scorpio63 is exactly what he needs right now–the anonymous, steamy encounters help him forget the secret urge for Trisha he gets every day.… Scorpio “Today you’ll clear up the mystery shrouding your love life, but will you like what you find?” Virtual sex with Pisces47 is so sinfully good it leaves Trisha Bains hungrier for the good, old-fashioned kind with Mr. Moore, her unattainable boss. But a chance remark of his makes her think the unthinkable: could the private sex fantasies she’s been indulging in now become her reality? Logan is a man who has been burned but good. He dated and then married a woman who worked for him in is Ad agency but once she became his wife she revealed that all she had wanted him for was his agency. She took his heart and half his agency with him in the divorce…oh, and most of his clients. Logan has sworn that he will not be dating an employee ever again cuz they just can’t be trusted. Trish yearns for Logan in a big bad way. She is hot for everything about the man but he doesn’t seem to give her the time of day when it might come to a personal relationship. When she finds a brochure for lovesign.com, a cybersex website, she decides to get Logan out of her mind once and for all. Trisha finds Pisces47 an incredibly wonderful and sensitive cyber lover but she still can’t seem to get Logan out of her head. The problem is…she’s just found out that Pisces47 is Logan. Oh the dilemma! This was a cute, fun book. The cybersex was pretty wicked and I liked Logan and Trisha together…because they do get together…I’m not saying how. Logan’s observances of Trisha in her every day life at the office made me sigh with pleasure. When he starts telling her little things about herself that he’s noticed, he got me. Oh how I love men who notice and appreciate the little nuances in a woman. But Logan had such trust issues and Trisha certainly had some unrealistic expectations of the poor man. Despite their issues I thought that this was a most enjoyable read.
I’d say that the only thing I didn’t like about this book was the secondary story. It was a very cute story in itself but I just felt it was filler and completely unnecessary to Logan and Trisha’s story. Rating: 3 out of 5

What I’ve Been Reading This Week

Posted February 23, 2009 by Tracy in Features | 9 Comments

Hey Kids! How was your week? Mine was good. It was a pretty quiet week all in all.

Yesterday the fam and I went to Knott’s Berry Farm. We had tickets from when Lisabea, Rosie and I had gotten together and never used (cuz it was pouring down rain) so we went to use them before they expired at the end of the month. What fun! My favorite was the Big Foot Rapids – totally cool! Of course my oldest’s back got completely drenched and since it wasn’t the warmest weather yesterday I had to buy her another shirt just so she didn’t freeze – but it was a blast. My youngest and I went on a lot of rides together since I’m not a huge roller coaster person. I used to be but now I get motion sickness so my hubby and oldest go on the rides together. My oldest is a complete adrenaline junkie. I swear that girl will be climbing Mt. Everest when she’s older!

Here’s my youngest’s version of fun (although she looks pretty bland about it she went on it 5 times in a row). She’s the one on the far left.

And here’s my oldest’s version of fun. Bleck. I would have barfed out my eyeballs! lol She’s the one 8th from the right, not that you can really see her.

Anyway, we had a great time and the kids were exhausted and fell asleep the minute we were in the car. Ahhhhh blessed silence! 🙂

What I read this week:

First up was Just the Sexiest Man Alive by Julie James. Review is below. I just loved the book and thought it was a great contemporary read.

Next was Montana Sky by Nora Roberts. This was the book I read for the Re-read challenge and you’re going to have to check back next Saturday to see what I thought the second time around! 🙂

My next book was Land of Falling Stars by Keta Diablo. This is a civil war romance book that I was asked by the author to review. My review will be posted on Thursday.

Note the conveniently placed lock of fallen hair in this cover. I think she has more material at the back of her dress than the front.

My Year of The Category read for this month’s challenge was Private Confessions by Lori Borrill Check back Tuesday for my thoughts.

Devil of the Highlands by Lynsay Sands was a book that I read for The Book Binge. I’m not sure when it will be posted but I’ll keep you informed. Good book. I like her historicals.

Tempt Me Tonight by Toni Blake was my last read. I really like her books. I seem to sit down with her books and not want to put them down. This was the story of Trish and Joe. They were high school sweethearts and so in love & planned to get married. In a stupid, retarded, idiotic, drunken moment Joe didn’t something very, very, very wrong and broke Trish’s heart. Now it’s 14 years later and Trish meets Joe again. It’s a sexy, fun yet emotional book that tells the tale of forgiveness, trust and love. I very much enjoyed it.
