Ridin' the Rails
When sci-fi author Naomi Gibson is told to spice up her books, she sees her career spiraling into oblivion. Her agent tells her the name of the game in women's fiction is hot, raw, give-it-to-me-now, don't-make-me-hurt-you, boy, sex and she needs to turn up the steam to stay in the game. Well that would be fine, except Naomi doesn't do hot-and hasn't a clue how to turn on the heat. Her agent suggests she loosen up and find inspiration, and she doesin an erotic weekend encounter with sexy corporate attorney, Brice Anders. The feelings he arouses in her leave Naomi shaken, trembling, completely inspiredand scared. After spending weeks trying to get the curvaceous, sexy author out of his mind, Brice is both relieved and angry when he finds himself traveling on the same train with Naomi. When he learns their interlude was only meant to feed her muse, he sets out to seduce her, but this time he'll give her exactly what she wants-sex-nasty, hot, screaming-when-she-comes-sex. The next time she won't find it so easy to walk away.

I purchased two books by this author based on a short story written by Ms. Terry. I'm hoping the next one is better than this one.
The plot is good but Ms. Terry seems to be writing this just as the subject of the novel writes her stories. Seems as though her editor advised Ms. Terry to throw in some hot sex (or what she thinks is hot sex) to engage her readers, that sex sells. In this case if you were to take out most of the sex descriptions you would have a better story. Some are baaaadddd, really bad. If you try to imagine them you will realize that some of the positions aren't possible unless the characters are made of rubber or their body parts are in different places than they usually are. Plus the verbiage misses the mark. Its as though she wouldn't or couldn't get herself to use certain terms/words. She takes us to the brink of the cliff then steps back like a climax aborted. Had to think about what was called a "sweet" before I realized what she meant.
The basis of the plot is good, the sex is mostly just thrown in and is more smutty than hotly romantic. If the male character, Brice, really wanted Naomi in his life permanently he could have gone about is differently.
2 stars because the basic plot was decent but the erotica left me cold.

This book was good. It was defintely hot, hot, hot. Smokin' hot. There were times when I wondered what the heck Brice saw in Naomi. He was such a fine man. But she had some head trippin problems. It all gets worked out though.
But they have a sexy time getting there.

A quick read. A couple of typos, and because I'm not a sci fi fan, I skimmed those parts.
