A happenstance encounter in an online gaming chat room begins the wild relationship between Christie St. John and Joseph Ashton in Talking Dirty with the CEO by Jackie Ashden. Expecting to go out and have a good time, neither expects to start the torrid affair that follows.

I liked both characters, and Christie and Joseph embody the idea that opposites attract. Christie, a shy heiress more comfortable sitting on the couch playing video games as she listens to goth music while Joseph is a confident CEO of his technology firm is an avid outdoorsman. The book provides an interesting story on how the two very different personalities merge to find common interests. The one issue with the book is that Joseph’s biggest insecurity, what he considers to be his biggest flaw, is not really a flaw and he has spent his whole life holding back from relationships because of it. That issue aside, it was a creative storyline and fun to see such opposite personalities interact.
