Exactly what I expected from Mrs. Devine! SEX and lots of it

I am already familiar with Thea Devine's past works, so I new what to expect. She's racy and good at what she does, writing erotic romance. So prudes be warned, this ain't your momma's romance novel.

BURNING! VERY SENSUAL!!!

WOW, this book is really great reading. I'm glad that there are the likes of Thea Devine who understands a woman's secret fantasies. There are only a handfull romance authors out there who are courageous enough to write sexy and sensual novels which a lot of romance readers crave and enjoy. More power to Thea Devine and keep on writing.
