Sexy Lexy by Kate Moore is a great book! What an original “meet cute” for the couple in this romance story. Moore had Sam Worth meet Lexy Clark in a blinding fog along a secluded road. A “thousand-pound bull tule elk” was blocking the road. And Clark got out of her car to investigate. Worth came out of the woods to wrap Clark in his arms and keep her close to keep the animal from smelling her femaleness. [p-15 paperback ed.]
The chapters in Sexy Lexy are quotes from the protagonist Lexy Clark’s bestseller workout book: Workout Sex, A Girl’s Guide to Home Fitness. Secrets. All the characters in the story had secrets. Moore had the reader rooting for Sam’s library and hoping that the bad mayor of Drake’s Point in California would get his due.
The story is funny, plausible, and moves along crisply. The reader cares about all the characters. And the author proves her point. We can’t run away from who we are. We need to learn and move on.
If you’re looking for a fun romance read, then Sexy Lexy by Kate Moore is the book for you.

“Sexy Lexy” by Kate Moore. (LoveSpell, 352 p.)
First Lexy Clark, a college physical fitness teacher, wrote a book – “Workout Sex, A Girl’s Guide to Home Fitness” – for her married friends with kids who didn’t have time to get as much exercise as they used to. Then Lexy sold millions of books, made big bucks, and became famous. The usual media hype landed her on Oprah and all the lesser lights of chat TV, until one day, a cheesy host humiliated her past her breaking point. Lexy could no longer live with her public image, so she bought a small inn in Drake’s Point, a Brigadoon on the Marin/Sonoma coast, and ran away to become Alexandra Clark, respectable member of the community.
In a town where everyone is trying to escape a painful past, Lexy figures she’ll blend in just fine. They will all blithely ignore each other’s secrets and silences.
You would think. But Drake’s Point is a small town. By definition, everyone knows everything about anything that ever happened to anyone. There is only the fiction of hiding from oneself, however convincingly rendered. Unfortunately for Lexy, there is a monstrous stumbling block in the path of her delusion. She falls in love, a grown up kind of love that demands honesty and maturity and recognizing that her secrets can potentially hurt the man she loves.
As with most popular fiction, it’s possible to read “Sexy Lexy” as a lightning-paced, light-hearted romp and ignore Moore’s thoughtful exploration of sexuality and respectability. The book is filled with quietly crafted vignettes showing Lexy and her lover, Sam, their friends, colleagues, and employees in cautious, tense, and yearning moments of grappling with their desires for sexual and emotional connection. A left-behind copy of “Workout Sex” offers discrete information and guidance to the employees at the inn.
Lexy tries to recover the book, but within days, the book has made the rounds in Drake’s Point. Five copies have been ordered at the general store. It’s only a matter of time before Lexy is going to have to reclaim the dubious honor of being a “sexpert.”
Moore, an English literature teacher in her day job, focuses on the dysfunction created by ignoring and denying sexuality, both for individuals and the wider community. Yes, those who openly engage the dialogue, like Lexy and Sam’s mother, a former stripper, risk being mocked and dismissed, or even judged as morally degenerate. Those judgments affect their families and friends, too. On the other hand, they stand to gain the joys of good sex, dynamic relationships, and confident participation in their communities as relatively integrated individuals. It’s a Utopian vision, to be sure, and in Moore’s hands, it adds welcome depth to a fun, sexy romance.

Alexandra wrote a book about combining sex and exercise, which became a best-selling phenomenon and turned her into Sexy Lexy. When a promotional appearance on a TV show goes wrong, she runs away from it all, to a small town on the California coast where she's bought a little hotel. There, she meets the local handyman, who's more than he appears, and their lives become intertwined. Again, the hero and heroine have real conflicts in their lives (the hero's is a little obscure for a bit too long, IMO, but...), but Moore handles it gently, with plenty of humor. Nice contemporary romance read. I enjoyed it.

This book is good for those who enjoy romance. Kate Moore plays with themes of self-acceptance and fame, allowing for several great character arcs, as well as a well-planned story arc. The characters are realistic and believable. Despite this, I didn't find myself drawn back day in and day out to read it. A solid beach read, but not a must-read.

Meh. Not believable but cute in parts. 2 1/2 and I'll round up this time. Scariest part of the book? When they lived in a town without high speed internet or cell phone reception. >:-O
