Sexy

by J.A. Huss

The last several books I have read by Huss have been ... let's just say dark. Intense would also be another word. So I had no idea what to expect when I picked up Sexy, except I knew the story would be solid. And let me tell you, I was a bit surprised. Sexy was not exactly what I was expecting. Is it sexy? Yes. But is it ALL about sex and being sexy? No.

Fletch is hot, and he knows it. Rather than coming across as a dick though, it is confident which in turn makes him even MORE sexy. What he has realized however, is that most women who are sexy don't actually know it or work it. So he has made it his mission to teach women to be sexy in their own right. They don't have to be model gorgeous, because 90% of sexy is all attitude. Which COME ONE, makes him even more sexy, am I right ladies?

Enter Tiffy, who is sexy and doesn't know it. She is also off limits for Fletch, but he doesn't know that right away. So of course we have the forbidden love angle, which is always fun. The emotionally closed off guy, with secrets; also fun. And a strong female lead, rare but AWESOME. She may be unsure of herself as a sex-figure,but she doesn't take anyone's shit when it comes to business. I kind of want to be her when I grow up.

I expected Sexy to be, well, SEXY. Which it was of course. What I didn't expect (and I have no idea why, based on Huss' previous works I should have) was the fully fleshed out characters and the enjoyable story that went with them. It wasn't all sunshine and roses, but no one pulled a gun on anyone else either.
