Wild For You

Summary: amusing tale
Review: The three high school teachers, Annie Peterson, Jillian Morgan, and Lisa Carlisle agree to find jobs over the Christmas holidays to break the monotony. They also agree that any of the trio who fails to obtain work must treat the other two to an expensive dinner at a fancy French restaurant.

Math teacher Annie has had nothing exciting occur in two years since she broke up with Mark. She accepts work as a delivery person of strip-o-grams for the Naughty or Nice Messenger Service. Her first assignment is to provide a message to divorced Dalton Stoner in a snowstorm, but her car gets stuck in an embankment. Dalton invites Annie to stay with him until the roads become passable, but is shocked that his dogs welcome the stranger. Soon they fall in love pushed together by his matchmaking sisters.

Though it is difficult to accept a teacher moonlighting as a "stripper" (the three musketeers should take a vacation in a tropical climate) fans will enjoy this amusing tale because Annie and Dalton are likable protagonists caught by fate in a strange situation. The story line starts inane, but turns nicely after the lead couple meets. The support cast enhances understanding of the dynamic duet as contemporary readers will be wild for Suzanne Gray's fine story once they and the plot overcome the opening tease.

Summary: Not As Wild For It As I Thought I'd Be!
Review: This was a good contemporary romance but what kept it from being "Great" was our hero Dalton. Otherwise the use of the Karma Sutra as a vehicle for the story was unique and interesting. If I could have been invested in both lead characters...well, that would have be wonderful. But, since this was not meant to be I have to say that if you are looking for a good story this will fit the bill but don't llok for it to be outstanding.

Dalton has been burned bad by his ex-wife. She was a wild child as it were. She was into anything that would bring excitement. As a result Dalton is all about living as plain a life as he can. His safe life is about to come to an end one snowy night when Annie comes to make a delivery. But one bad snow storm and one undelivered message later Annie and Dalton have discovered that they are attracted to each other and being snowed in might not be such a bad thing. That is if Dalton can get over the fact that he is falling for a woman that is well...not his normal cup of tea. Will he be able to get over the fact that Annie like to seek excitement and that she reminds him too much of his ex?

Annie is a high school math teacher. She and her girlfriends make a pact to do something to "jazz" up their lives. Annie takes a job during the Christamas break as a messenger for a strip-o-gram company. Her first message is to Dalton. Problem is Dalton is not what she thought he would be. He's yummy and cute, has the cutest dogs but they are to different. She comes to the realization that their time together has not only been HOT in all caps but she knows that they will never last. Opposites may attract but they don't always stay together. Especially when she realizes that she is having to live down the reputation of an e-wife.

This was a very sensual read and it had a lot of potential. Like I stated earlier this book was not "great" because the hero just...wasn't that great a hero. He labors under his mis-guided thinking for the entire book. He finally comes to his senses ten pages from the end of the book. This is not to say that I couldn't understand where he was coming from but after awhile his problem took away from the romance. Secondary characters are wonderful additions to this story and are also saving graces with their sub-plots. I would recommend that you come to this read with an open mind and not to expect too much.
