Description from the publisher:
Orgasmic Meditation? Therapeutic?!
Kaylee Baker is horrified when her girlfriends suggest a trip to artsy Boulder,
Colorado, to check out the latest craze. What her friends don’t know about
Kaylee is that she is a little repressed, bordering on frigid, and the idea of
a complete stranger bringing her to orgasm—therapeutic or not—is horrifying.
Blaze Donahue has admired Kaylee
from afar for quite some time, and part of the reason he’s kept his distance is
because he’s had no indication that she might even be interested. But when he’s
given the opportunity to offer her his own version of OM with no strings
attached, he makes an offer she has a hard time refusing.
When there are undeniable sparks
between the two, Kaylee runs, afraid of the overwhelming feelings she has for
this gorgeous, sensitive guy. Blaze feels compelled to convince her otherwise
but wonders if he’ll be able to crack through the ice surrounding this sweet
girl. Can they find true love or will it just be a one-time O?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a stand-alone book / no
series.
Once upon a time, there was a very
good little girl who had been raised in the church. Then she went to college and was corrupted by
a boy. She discovered (whispered)
SEX! If my parents are reading this,
they think that my friend has written my story.
I have always been the good girl.
I’m still teased for being a good girl (and what people don’t know, they
don’t need to know!)
The situations may have changed, – I
couldn’t even imagine someone suggesting OM when I was a student – but the
realities are the same. College is a
time of growing, not just academically, but as an adult.
Kaylee has a reputation for being
cold and stand-offish. The truth is
naiveté and shyness. For years, she has
had a secret crush on her roommate’s brother, Blaze. Blaze has also secretly had his eye on Kaylee,
but doesn’t want to breach the walls he perceives that Kaylee has built around
herself. When he does take a chance,
they both are opened to a possibility of finding true love. Of course, the door that opens the way is a
little, no make that a lot, unique.
I was privileged enough to read this
as a BETA for Ms. Jamison. As you know,
I have loved every book I have ever read from her and this one is no
exception. I loved this story of
burgeoning womanhood and finding true love.
There were parts that had me laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe. I could very well imagine my friends and me
speaking to each other like that! My
favorite quote of the book is, “she didn’t care if she went to hell for engaging in premarital sex. It was totally fucking worth it.”
Do
not miss this wonderful fun story. Drop
me a note when you have and let me know what you think!

Rachel leaned over the table and tipped
her glass at Kaylee as though it were a pointer. “I’ll loosen you up before you
graduate if it’s the last thing I do.” She sat back up and what little sobriety
she had seemed to possess just seconds ago had disappeared. “In the meantime,
Maddy, Shannon? Come with me to the bar to fetch more drinks and we can iron
out the details without making our prudish friend blush.”
Well, too late. As the three women
slid out of the booth, Kaylee felt just that—a mad red flush racing up her
face, stinging her cheeks. She hoped it wasn’t evident in the bar or maybe she
could blame it on drinking, but Rachel had, with her few words, made Kaylee not
only feel prude but embarrassed. And in front of all people…
Once the women were up, though,
Blaze showed no inkling of having registered his sister’s last words. Kaylee
began to feel awkward then. What the hell would she say to this super hot guy
and after a conversation like that? She had decided to ask him how classes were
going when he said, “I can’t blame you really. I don’t think I could do that
either.” He grinned. “Even though I find the idea exciting.” Kaylee felt her
cheeks redden again, but she smiled before looking down at her glass once more.
“Not gonna pay for it, though. Fuck that.”
Kaylee picked up her glass and
sipped what little was left in it, simply to have something to do. She didn’t
know what to say so she nodded her head and smiled. She’d always found Blaze’s
looks and charm intimidating, so she was feeling more than a little
tongue-tied. She didn’t want him to think she was a snooty bitch, though, so
she said, “I agree.”
He rested his chin on his arms on
the chair and said, “What’s the part that has you freaking out more? The fact
that it would be a stranger or that you’d be paying for it?”
His question helped her relax a
little. It felt like he was taking a practical approach and wanted to discuss
the matter as two adults. They weren’t actually talking about orgasms
or…fingers and clits, for God’s sake. So she took a deep breath and gave the
matter a little thought. It didn’t take long for her to say, “I think it’s that
it’s a stranger.” She didn’t know why she felt compelled to continue—especially
with Blaze—but she did. “Seriously. It’s hard enough to relax and then you have
someone you’ve never met before trying to make you feel good. I can’t imagine.”
She smiled and rolled her eyes, hoping she appeared relaxed now, because she
was far from it.
Blaze didn’t intend to help the
matter at all. “What if it was you and me?”
Had she heard him right? And why the
hell was her heart thudding in her chest? She had a hard time sucking in a
breath, but when she was able to, she asked, “What do you mean?” Her voice was
so low, she was surprised he could hear it.
“If I was the therapist.” He
sat up and used the index and middle fingers of both his hands to air quote his
last word. “You know…Maddy, Shannon, and my sister go to Boulder to have some
stranger finger bang them, but what if someone you knew took care of you here?”
Her jaw didn’t drop to the table but
she had lost all words. She just wished she could figure out if Blaze was
yanking her chain or giving her the offer of a lifetime.
