Talk Dirty To Me  by Ginny Glass & Inez Kelley e-Book – Novella Publisher: Carina Press Available: July 19, 2010 Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance

"Tell me what you want. Talk dirty to me."

Biologist Nora MacGregor is frantic when she loses her dissertation notes on female sexuality—and some very personal fantasies. Then a sinful stranger calls with a wicked proposition: if she talks dirty to him, he’ll return her notes, page by page. "James" allows Nora to explore her deepest desires and challenges her clinical ideas about sex. But James can’t give her the loving touches she finds in her budding relationship with Dr. Jarod Reed.

Jarod seized an opportune moment to fulfill his desire for Nora by becoming the mysterious James. While the anonymous, erotic phone sessions are unforgettable, Jarod longs to tell Nora he wants more than just talk. But how can he confess his deception without it costing him the chance to make their fantasies a reality?

Dr. Jarod Reed finds his social life a little lacking with no real hope of it improving anytime soon.  That is until he becomes fascinated with Biologist Nora MacGregor from afar.  He watches her pass by his classroom twice a week on her way to the laundry.  When they literally bump into each other one day on campus the sparks fly.  But in the collision, Nora unknowingly drops her notes and tapes from her study on female sexuality which also contain some very personal information about herself.  Jarod plans to return the research material at some point but not before he takes a peek at it.  After reading Nora’s notes he becomes determined to seduce Nora over the phone by posing as someone else coaxing her to talk dirty to him in exchange for returning her research a few pages at a time.  However, due to Jarod’s deception, he inadvertently creates a pseudo love triangle where he is competing with himself for the affections of a woman he has come to care about a great deal.

Talk Dirty To Me is the second book in the Dirty Laundry series however it is not necessary to read the previous book in the series, this one stands alone nicely. It is co-written by Inez Kelley and Ginny Glass.  The title alone was enough to catch my attention as I do appreciate a bit a well written dirty talk in my erotic romance.  When it comes to dirty talk this novella certainly came though, however I have to admit I was unsettled at first.  The idea of a stranger phoning up, claiming to have something very personal that you want back desperately, then striking a deal where you must earn back your own property by way of erotic conversations seemed a little pervy and unnerved me a bit.  I assume that was supposed to be the appeal though; the freedom to let your hair down and perhaps explore a few fantasies verbally with someone you don’t know.  It took a while to get on board with Jarod’s actions as James, however the trouble he caused himself by creating competition for himself with no way to come clean without risking his relationship with Nora was comical in my twisted point of view. 

Jarod and Nora’s courtship is sweet and romantic whereas ‘James’ and Nora’s courtship is down and dirty.  Actually, Nora is a lucky girl having a sweet sexy man on her arm and a dirty little secret on the sly.  However it is inevitable that Jarod gets caught up in his own web and it was actually quite funny how it all played out.  I enjoyed Talk Dirty To Me for the smoking hot dirty talk, the sweet romance and the humor created by the duplicitous but likeable hero. I’ve already read Coming Clean by Inez Kelley and will be checking out Coin Operated by Ginny Glass soon. 

Favorite Quote:

“I promise it will feel good. Let me touch you, sweetheart. Tell me what you want.” He let his voice drop to a sensual growl. “Talk dirty to me, Nora.”

Coming Clean by Inez Kelley  e-Book – Novella  Publisher: Carina Press Available: July 21st 2010 Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance

Coming clean never felt so good…Grant and Vivi Michaelson share everything in their marriage: love, commitment—and their wildest sexual desires. But their relationship is tested when Vivi admits she wants a threesome with Grant’s old friend Cade, proposing their annual trip to the lake as the perfect opportunity to fulfill her fantasy. 

All three of them are aroused by the idea. Vivi and Cade have long felt a smoldering attraction to each other…and Grant and Cade have hidden an illicit desire for decades. Going through with the ménage will test their boundaries, reveal old secrets…and maybe tear them apart. After all, there might be room for Cade in bed, but is there room for a third in their marriage?

Quick Rundown: During the after-glow of lovemaking, married couple Grant and Vivi begin to discuss their personal fantasies.  When Vivi reveals that she has fantasized about having a full threesome with Grant and his best friend Cade, she’s surprised and aroused when Grant admits he’s up for it and they decided to approach Cade to make it happen.

 

Impressions after the first chapter: Holy smokin’ hotness!!  During the first chapter Grant has a flashback to the night he and Vivi hatched their plan to seduce Cade into a threesome.  Stepping back and witnessing Grant and Vivi discuss their yet unfulfilled fantasy was almost as hot as when they actually fulfilled it. 

 

The Heroes: Grant is deeply in love with his wife and will do anything for her including doing whatever it takes to fulfill her fantasies.  He is also very close to his best friend Cade and may have some deeper feelings for him beyond friendship.  Cade is bisexual and has been attracted to Grant since he can remember.  But he respects their friendship and Grant’s marriage.  He’s also been a longtime friend and dance partner to Vivi.  They’ve shared some flirtatious moments but they have never taken it any further than that.

 

The Heroine: Vivi is dedicated to her marriage and has a healthy sexual appetite.  She is more than willing to experiment in the bedroom.  She’d like to bring Cade into mix for a little fun and is totally fine with her husband and Cade being together sexually.  She may have a few moments of doubt when it all goes down, but she manages to keep up with the boys.

 

What worked: I loved that this was a good, straightforward erotic romance.  There may have been a few moments of doubt for all parties involved but no over the top drama.  The sexual chemistry was smoking hot and I loved the first solo moments between Cade and Grant.  Both of them were a little nervous, and also a little excited at this new turn in their relationship. Very hot! 

 

What didn’t work:  My usual complaint with novella’s I really enjoy…too short.  Wish there was more.

 

Final conclusion: Coming Clean is my first read by Inez Kelley and I will be seeking out more from this author.  She writes a wonderfully erotic story with characters to care about. This is a super hot read: m/f, m/m, m/m/f.   Definitely recommended.

[…] as Granny used to say, “getting naked” was one thing, but “gettin’ nekkid” was a whole ’nother ballgame.
