Marcy's Playground: Book 1 in The Playground Series
The award-winning story, Marcy's Playground:
Marcy unfairly loses her job just one week after high school graduation. The hunt for a new one isn't easy for a quiet, shy, book-loving girl. A job practically falls in her lap as a receptionist for a club catering to very specific tastes. A virgin in a sex club? —That has to be the start of some sort of cosmic joke.
She's mortified when Evan, a handsome man who lives on her street, walks in. Marcy freezes. What should she do? Her telltale blush blooms into a full-body heat when Evan brings in J.L., his even hotter best friend. Marcy hungers to learn about men, but not at work! The broad new world she's introduced to leads to a sizzling summer where Marcy discovers love, sex, and romance... and learns even more about herself.
"This first book in The Playground Trilogy draws us in right away, and has us falling in love with Marcy from the first page. It combines deep emotional growth with a roller coaster ride of HOT. Beautiful character development – A lot of funny dialogue, the story was tight and well written. Real characters and lovely development. Such a great story, lots of love, mixed with just the right amounts of lust and sex! Bravo! It takes some unexpected twists and turns. What a ride." – Friya, Smart Woman's Steamy Novel Reviews.

I effing love this book. It walks the line between believable and ridiculous with precision, and the characters are so likeable, I was in love as soon as each started to speak.
MJ Roberts's style is similar to my own in many cases, so reading her books feels good to me, but this series has the potential to totally blow my mind. Naive girls who don't know what to expect from this sex thing meet men (and women) who teach them all about it. I love it. But in this book, it is the characters and the incredibly hot sex scenes that kept me glued to my Kindle. I highly recommend this book to anyone older than the protagonist.
