5 Stars Erotic Contemporary Romance
My first Emma Jay definitely started out with a bang and finished in a riot of beautiful colors leaving a huge smile on my face. Mr. Sex-on-legs aka Eric Viera might have had a thing or two to do with that fact as he strode into the story in his long, lean form, close-cropped brown hair and his sexy little goatee and deep blue eyes that just begs a girl to get into trouble of the right kind with him. Being an anthropologist means that Eric rarely stays around in one place for long unless it is to study behavior of some forgotten tribe of people.
Elementary school principal Haven Reynolds finds herself definitely in trouble of the right variety when she meets the sexy Eric Viera at their friends Jared and Christine’s engagement party 8 months back. A two week affair had left Haven certainly begging for more and eventually her heart had gotten involved and it had killed her to see Eric go on his anthropology trip to the Costa Rica afterwards. Though she would rather die than admit to the fact Haven knows that Eric owed her nothing when both of them had gone into the purely sexual affair with their eyes open.
Eight months later, Eric again walks into Haven’s life, this time for the wedding of the couple whose engagement brought these two together in the first place. Haven with her shields strongly in place face an even more appealing and a sexier version of Eric who has no intention of letting the best thing that has ever happened to him walk away from him as he is looking for something a bit more permanent with the woman who rocked his world 8 months back and the woman who has occupied all his thoughts since after. It is a highly enjoyable and a sensual journey done very well by Ms. Jay I must add that these two take and I loved every minute of it!

If you want a story full of heat and heart, then look no further than Two Step Temptation. This isn’t a story for hardcore erotic readers – the sex is pretty vanilla and straightforward, but the story grabbed me right by the heart and didn’t let go.
Sometimes I read stories and think, “Why don’t they see that they’re in love with each other? It’s so obvious!”. This was one of those stories. The hero was amazing, and I fell half in love with him myself. I admit to getting frustrated at the heroine, trying to keep their relationship secret. In this day and age, Haven’s concern didn’t feel entirely authentic. And worse, I could see how it tore at our hero, Eric’s heart every time she told him that she didn’t want to “go public”.
Eric was incredibly understanding, truly romantic and oh-so hot. Sexy, concerned, and always ready. Where author Emma Jay excelled was in building the sexual tension with little touches, a glance, a word. For the first several pages, I held my breath ... waiting. I shivered with Haven when Eric touched her face or whispered in her ear. How could she resist?
Thankfully, she didn’t for very long and where the tension was amazing, the sex was even better. Perhaps it was “vanilla”, but Ms. Jay didn’t waste an opportunity and skillfully placed us right in the bedroom (and a few other places) with Eric and Haven. With evocative descriptions, she helped me feel each brush of their fingers, each shiver of need, each hot, desperate kiss.
Even better? The ending was sweet enough to make my heart sigh.
So, if you’re looking for a smoking hot romance that covers all the bases, I highly recommend Two Step Temptation. It’ll satisfy you, body and soul.

I was quite disappointed with this story. It could’ve been a short, cute little romp, but the whole heroine issue-thing...I don’t know. She had all those walls, wanting always to be in control, hiding her emotions, hiding her fling with the yummy guy from her friends...Without reason. There was no explanation as to why she was the way she was...And her behavior, without such explanation, became immediately annoying and tedious, dragging the story along.
What a pity.
What a pity.
