Another Fast Romantic Read

It is a quick read, but a fun one. Janelle Denison's book Heat Waves is a nice crisp romance. Erica has a radio show in Chicago. Her "hook" is that she talks about sex. But all her knowledge - she crams before each show - is tested when she gets a regular caller, Ian. They have a bit of chemistry on air. And when he challenges her - and the result is a date - the getting to know you part begins.

But Erica is not sure she wants Ian to see the woman behind the radio personality. Does he even want to? Ian wants to know more about this talented woman. And the rest of Chicago gets to listen in while the ratings for her show soar.

Denison does a great job giving us a pair of real people, with real problems and back stories. Everything is not solved instantly and they do have to decide how they can develop their relationship. Bringing in a bit of "on air" sexy talk adds to the humor. A fun frothy read. A keeper.

Books, Obsessions and Real Life

I have been reading a ton of stuff! But it is not here. SIGH! I'm working on catching up. And I've been in a book obsession. I blame it all on that. The staying up til 2 am on a work night. Sorry - I don't have the bounce back that I used to.

Having a book obsession is a rare and wonderful thing. The book, the setting, the characters have entranced you. The author has seduced you into their written world and you could care less about what time it is. All you want to know is - WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! ! !

Yes - obsessed. It doesn't happen as often as you think. So enjoy it, tolerate it, cope with it. And it will fade.

Until the next time...
