"A quick, sexy romance"

Fresh Fiction Review

Sexcapades
Christine d'Abo

Romance Erotica Sensual

Shy, slightly agoraphobic and insecure Petra Clark expresses herself through her blog, Sexcapades. Via her alter ego PC, Petra encourages woman to embrace their sexuality. Unfortunately for Petra, her blogs and reviews are based more on research than action. After her last disastrous relationship, Petra is staying away from men, especially the hot stranger she keeps running into at the coffee shop.

Darcy Williams is intrigued by the sexually explicit conversations he's overhearing in the coffee shop. When he gets caught eavesdropping, he can't help but tease the women since his alter ego is D. Williams, blogger on sex from the male perspective and PC's informal sparring partner. The attraction between Petra and Darcy is instantaneous but things get complicated when they discover each other's secret identities. They are both up for the same blogging award and have been actively baiting each other online for months. Now that they have met, it doesn't take long for the professional animosity to turn into hot and heavy sexual attraction.

SEXCAPADES is a quick, sexy romance. I liked the premise and enjoyed the banter that came with the rivalry between Darcy and Petra. I found Darcy's name a little distracting as I tend to think of it as women's name so my mental of image of the story kept needing adjustment, though it is a unisex name so others may not have the same problem. Petra had to grow on me because I found her insecurities a bit tiresome but it was good to see her personal growth. There was a blackmail subplot that didn't add a lot to the story and felt a little bit forced. The real strength of the story is the sexual heat and budding relationship between Darcy and Petra.

SUMMARY

Petra Clark's blog Sexcapades inspires women to embrace sexuality. What readers don't know is that her advice isn't based on personal experience. Despite erotic fantasies about the hot guy at her local coffee shop, social anxiety keeps Petra from connecting with real men in the real world. She's more comfortable as PC, sparring online with her nemesis, the cocky D. Williams.

Counselor by day, blogger by night, Darcy Williams gets a thrill countering PC's female-friendly advice with a macho slant. And when both blogs are nominated for an award, he's intrigued by the chance to finally meet the woman who's been driving him wild with her Sexcapades.

When Petra runs into her coffee-shop crush at the awards party, sparks fly—and so do their clothes. Only after multiple orgasms does she realize who Darcy really is: the competition. Now they're facing accusations of fraud, with stalking and blackmail thrown in. But perhaps most frightening of all are the feelings growing between them…
