Sawyers Siblings #1
Little Miss Innocent?
VAMP...OR VIRGIN?
Dr. Daniel Sawyers was undeniably drawn to the very woman he most disapproved of. But Lace McGee, a supposed expert on matters of love-physical love, that is-had shown him nothing but steely resistance. So Daniel asked the brazen beauty for lessons in the bedroom. Her bedroom. So what if he was already masterful at pleasing women-he'd fake it! For Daniel had to satisfy his overpowering desire to touch Lace, to glimpse the depths of her soul, to know if uncertainty filled her gaze only to keep him at bay...or to protect a secret innocence.

Ya estoy aquí, que ayer no hice la reseña...
Bueno en realidad es un 2,5.
La pelea constante entre los dos protagonistas acabó por agotarme. Sí, me encanta cuando se odian pero es que lo de estos dos era absurdo. El final, muy bonito, apresurado pero bonito.
No sé puede decir mucho de los libros tan cortos, ya sabemos que son para pasar el rato.

Lori Foster usually gets 3 stars from me. I find I can't go wrong with a Lori Foster Story but that doesn't mean that I don't easily put them down. This story got a little higher rating and it was because of Lace. I really liked her. I didn't love the fact that she was a virgin - I felt like that was a bit ridiculous. Not that there is anything wrong with virginity, it is a fairly constant characteristic in romances with innocent characters. I just didn't buy it with her being a sex-pert. Seriously. I would have rather she had low numbers than no numbers.
But other than that, I like her attitude. How she pushes Dan and his stereo-types, but I also liked how she works through her attraction to him.
The book is early Lori Foster, so it was a bit disjointed in how the story built. But I forgave her for that. We all have to start somewhere.
This book ends up being part of a series (Dan, Max and Annie all have books) and I have read them all. If you haven't read this series yet and you need a beach read, you should grab the book that has all 3 stories together!!

Cuando Lace,una famosa sexologa es atacada por un perro,cuenta con la ayuda de Daniel,un doctor hermano de su mejor amiga.El aunque se siente atraído por ella,no la soporta porque la culpa de cambiar a la Hermana que crió muy poco femenina en una mujer fatal.
Al principio me estaba gustando mucho la historia,era cómica y estaba disfrutando la tension sexual entre ambos personajes. Aunque me sacaba un poco de quicio que Daniel criticara tanto la profesión de Lace.Me pareció muy misogino de su parte. También el que se situara en la epoca navideña,me gusto mucho y mas la historia del árbol de Navidad.Pero ya luego la historia se volvió muy lenta y aburrida.

This one is just so.... lame. Too much pretending of virginity and non-virginity and expertise and sexpertise. Sex can be great and a bit weird and yes the first time with someone can make you hesitant. But if you should go through all this drama, I don't think you belong together.
And then it gets worse!!
The whole virgin plotline, I only have patience for it when it's done well. That's not the case here.

This is the first book in the Sawyer Family Trilogy and it's off to a good start. The book is a quick, easy read but holds your attention. The characters are not only likable they are believable as well, it's well written with an interesting plot. That sexual tension between the H/H is so strong and quirky that you can't help pull for these two. I also like that there is little to no angst and no cliff hangers and it contains a HEA.

Lace McGee is a sex therapist. Dr. Daniel Sawyer is a doctor who works in ER at a hospital. Daniel does not approve of Lace he thinks she is a hedonist and a bad influence on his baby sister which is a misconception. She walks in ER with a huge dog bite on her rear end. Daniel decides no one will treat her but him. He even stays a couple days helping her in her apartment. Their bickering is amusing and there is strong chemistry between these two.

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this book. I did enjoy the characters but the book left me wanting more. this book is definitely a straight romance book. no real plot twists or drama. just 2 people trying hard to hook up and start a relationship.

Tre stelle scarse.
Devo dire che questo racconto, perchè non si può definire un romanzo visto la lungheza, non mi ha propriamente convinta. La storia è carina, l'idea generale davvero interessante ma non è stata sviluppata al meglio. Forse mi aspettavo troppo dalla Fsoter e da questo libro.

Wanted to give it 2 star but gave 1 more just for the feels and both H and h.
I just felt ending could have been with more feel and better love confessions.
Still a good read.

What in the Wattpad? Very immature characters and they didn't age well. Full of misogyny, sexual harassment, and slut shaming.

Dr. Daniel Sawyers kann die Sextherapeuten Lace McGee nicht leiden. Denn sie provoziert ihn immer wieder. Als sie mit einem Hundebiss im Hinter in der Notaufnahme auftaucht. Kann er nicht umhin ihr zu helfen und lernt sie näher kennen. Zwischen den beiden kocht die Leidenschaft auf und vielleicht auch mehr....
Die Wortgefechte der beiden ist einfach nur schön zum Lesen, sondern lässt einen nicht nur einmal laut auf Lachen. Lace hat mir am Anfang sehr leid getan und ich habe gehofft das sie durch Daniel endlich das bekommt was sie sich wünscht und verdient. Ihr Mutter hätte ich am liebsten durchgeschüttelt. Daniel scheint die Wortgefechte zu genießen und fühlt sich immer mehr zu ihr hingezogen. Eine Szene wird mir ewig im Gedächtnis bleiben, wie Daniel das erste Mal die Wohnung von Lace betritt. :) Eine wunderschöne, süße und witzige Geschichte.

Me pergunto se a Lori Foster já escreveu um livro ruim ou chato, será? Já li vários livros da autora e até agora todos são divertidíssimos e a grande maioria dos personagens são tão sexy.
E este livro não é diferente dos outros, há personagens muito bem humorados e com uma grande carga emocional. Infâncias conturbadas por problemas familiares, que geral adultos conflitantes. Acredito que tudo será resolvido através da descoberta do amor, leva algum tempo, mas é necessário.
ADORO!!!
RECOMENDADÍSSIMO!!!

I really wish I had read this one first instead of Annie, Get Your Guy / Messing Around with Max. They are all really funny and fun to read. Annie is still my favorite, though.

Por la sinopsis, esperaba mucho mas de este libro.
Pienso que la idea de la historia daba para mas de 160 paginas (mas o menos la extension del libro)
Al final, apenas y pude terminar de leerlo, por que fue muy predecible y hasta tedioso. Para mi la historia no tuvo mucha coherencia en ocasiones, y los personajes no estaban suficientemente desarrollados.
Solo para pasar el rato.

We all have our different views on relationships. Sometimes we don't know or see that our fear or wants come from our up bringing what we saw our parents, grandparents and other family members went through.
Lori Foster allows readers to overcome the barriers placed before us that we believe love should look like revealing love can happen no matter what.

No está mal pero pudo ser mejor. Me interesó leerlo por su particular y prometedora sinopsis(la relación entre mujer sexologa virgen que viste solo de negro y un Dr que la detesta y la evita)pero no estará dentro de mis favoritas.Algo pasatista,bien escrito pero que no arriesga mucho.
