"Ok so this book is sooo fun. It is a quick 46 page ecopy book but it is filled with sarcasm, wit, sexiness and a lot of humor...The sexual tension in the story is great. I was laughing in the beginning and then saying "Hawt" towards the middle. When they finally *cough cough* well you know, it was gooood reading" - Angie J, Twinsie Talk Book Reviews
