LEARNING CURVES          CATHRYN FOX

When he wins a sexy bet, billionaire Linc Blair can’t wait to get Lauren Neill naked. He’s never gone for her type in the past, and he’s pretty certain it has more to do with her buttoned-up hotness than the nagging sense that something is missing from his life. But when he gets a glimpse of the vulnerable woman beneath the conservative, yet oh-so-sexy clothes, it’s a game changer.

Lauren can’t believe she’s spending a few days with one of sexiest, and most annoying men she’s ever met. But she can’t deny the chemistry between them, and for once in her life she’s letting down her guard so she can explore a different side of herself. The side only Linc brings out in her.

Taking it slow, he unleashes her sexuality and it quickly occurs to him that what started out as a bet for him has become something more. With their weekend nearly over, and her ex showing interest in this new confident version of Lauren, Linc will have to risk it all if he wants to win the game of love.

MY REVIEW:

     Have you ever had a wanting so deep it made your body tremble?  Lauren Neill has but she couldn’t understand it.  You know it really made no sense.  Her last boyfriend dumped her for being boring in bed and uneventful in life. So how could she feel such strong feelings for Linc Blair.  To the point where she could not stop staring at him when he walked into a room?  He was one of the most handsome men she had ever seen in her life and she was intrigued by him.

     Her friend Kelli is Linc’s top regional sales manager, for Sport Source’s the business he owns.  Kelli and she were college roommates and both from New York.  Both of them landed in Miami hers being an accountant for the Miami Rays hockey team actually for the owner himself.  And since she worked for him all his office staff were give passes to sit in the skybox.  It .  was there that all this began on this crazy night.

     Ironically, Kelli’s boss, Linc, and Lauren’s boss, Michael are best friends.  In fact, Linc would go to the office to see, Michael Rock and he would ignore her to the point where she felt invisible.  There was something about Linc that she couldn’t take her eyes off of him.  As she couldn’t this night at the game.  When he ignored her she got angry and she couldn’t figure out why then it hit her.  It had nothing to do with him and everything to do with it making her feel how her ex made her feel.  Like a nobody and invisible.

     Tonight Linc surprised her by talking to her.  Not only that he makes a bet with her.  Really it was a blackmail because he heard her cheer for New York instead of the Rays so he teased he by saying he would tell Michael.  Anyway, the bet was if she loses he gets her for the weekend.  If he loses he gets her for the weekend.  He says it’s a win, win for him she said well not really it’s a win for her and under her breath says a loss for him.  So it was a sucker bet or did Linc win no matter what?  Her doubts left by her ex made her feel that no matter what Linc would come out the loser in the sexcapades he planned for her.  By the way she loses their bet and at 7pm Linc plans on picking her up.

     As she goes to leave she runs right into her ex because she is not paying attention because she can’t believe that Linc was serious about the weekend.  Her ex is there with his new fiancé and proceeds to rub in her face their plans to marry at the end of the month.  Even going as far as having the bad taste to invite her to the wedding.  Telling her she can pair up at the singles table with his boring cousin Frank the banker who she would have a lot in common.  When out of nowhere Linc appears goes to kiss her temple and says, “Follow my lead.”  He pours on the act as if they have been dating since her breakup from her ex.  Then he kisses her deep throating her several times before he acknowledges there are even people around them.

     When he turns to the ex and extends his hand in greeting the ex’s mouth is hanging open.  Which excites Linc since he can’t stand him.  Lauren noticed that even though her ex’s fiancé Linc’s usual type when introduced he barely shook her hand before turning back to her.  Saying that he will pick her up at seven and to wear the blue dress he loves so much. (The one her ex hated.) She says okay if he promises not to pop the buttons because it was hard to find the last time all over the kitchen.  He gave her one last kiss saying no promises.  They both left the two standing there.  So who’s the one boing and not good in bed?

     Be warned this is an erotica.  Although it is with two people who have been in love with each other.  It has taken a dare to wake up just how much they didn’t know they wanted each other.

     Very cute story that takes you through a fast courtship and a hot sizzling weekend.  I give this 5 stars.  Provided by netgalley.com.  Follow us at: www.1rad-readerreviews.com.
