Rating: Summary: 1st Stephanie Bond, I think it will be my last! Review: I read this book, because STEPHANIE BOND had been highly recommended to me. I was told she wrote with a lot of humor and sensuality(which I love). I didn't really find this story funny. It was a bit silly, but not really funny. I didn't find it to be particularly hot and sensuals either. I didn't care for the characters. I couldn't identify with Georgia for dating a man (Rob) for ten months and not getting to know him at all (not even his phone voice). I couldn't identify with Ken, why would he want Georgia to think that she was improving her relationship with Rob? I tried very hard to understand these two characters, but I couldn't. Ken is 37 and Georgia is 30, but I felt they were both very immature. Georgia kept explaining in the story what she wanted in life, LOVE,RESPECT, COMMITMENT, FIDELTY,FAMILY etc..but she seemed completely unable to be honest with herself and make the right choices to accomplish her goal. I love the "BLAZE" line, but I was disappointed in this story. I recommend JANELLE DENISON,JULIE ELIZABETH LETO,JO LEIGH,VICKI LEWIS THOMPSON, LYN ELLIS.
Rating: Summary: A Pure Delight ! Review: I've been reading Temptations for almost 2 years, on a more or less regular basis and this book is right up there with my favorites of all time. It's definitely a keeper. A fast paced, very funny plot and compelling characters. Even though it's a spectular story, it seemed believable. It's one of the best Temptation books I've read in a LONG time. Stephanie Bond knows how to capture the readers attention. This is not a book easily put down nor forgotten once finished. Do yourself a favor, read it !
Rating: Summary: WOW! What a great story! Review: I've enjoyed all of Stephanie Bond's books, and she's done it again with Too Hot To Sleep. This book has it all--comedy, tension, a terrific heroine, a too-die-for hero, and a fabulous, sensual plot. Ms. Bond just gets better with each book. I can't wait for the next one! Bravo!
Rating: Summary: Lusty, Romp Review: Recipe for a light fun read: add a little mistaken number "Phone Sex", a heat wave, a dog & a Darling Cop.... ohhhh. Fun, sexy, a wee bit steamy, Just the thing for a lazy summer day.
Rating: Summary: Great book for those who like their romance steamy! Review: Stephanie Bond's latest book is definitely not for the faint of heart. Having said that, I will also say that if you are one who likes their romance steamy you can't do better than this sexy, spicy, and often humorous tale of the ultimate 'wrong number'. I can certainly relate to the problem Georgia has with her new phone. I still have to call my son to help re-program the VCR remote. So, screwing up the speed dial is entirely possible to me. I did wonder about the believability of the heroine not knowing it wasn't her boyfriend on the line, but the author offers a plausible reason and because the phone calls were only a few, it was believable for me. Ms. Bond definitely pushes the envelope with this book, with her well-crafted 'flying solo' scenes. Does she push it out of bounds? Not in my opinion. The language is suggestive, but not explicit. She also gives us those elements we've come to expect: a hero and heroine who make mistakes and aren't afraid to apologize. The hero, Ken Medlock, makes a memorable case for himself in the end as he tries to legitimately win Georgia's love after having kept the truth from her for so long. Does this make him less heroic? No. It makes him human. I've read several of Ms. Bond's earlier books, and look forward to seeing more of her writing for this particular category. I did learn one very important fact from reading this book: There are white chocolate-covered cherries!
Rating: Summary: Fun and amusing Review: This snack of a book is a quick read and lots of fun. I thought the plot was a novel one for a contemporary romance. The heroine is trying to nudge her relationship with her boyfriend into a more intimate relationship and hits upon the plan of calling him for a little phone sex. She doesn't know it, but she's programmed the wrong number into her new phone and inadvertently calls a perfect stranger. The recipient of her naughty call is caught unaware but is willing to play along. Come to find out, he's actually a nice guy. As you'd expect, the rest of the plot revolves around these two soulmates finding one another in person. It's a fresh twist and an amusing read.

Rating: Summary: A nice Saturday afternoon read Review: This was a nice book, sensual, sweet, and at times funny. I was really intrigued by the concept of the book. I would love to have read this as a full-length novel, where the author could have really expanded the story line and the sexual tone of the book.
