PACKED WITH PLEASURE
Lori Wilde
Harlequin Blaze, Oct 2003, $4.50, 250 pp.
ISBN: 0373791100
Manhattan proprietor of Wickedly Wonderful boutique, Eden Montgomery feels that her talent at making beautiful unique erotic pleasure baskets has taken a temporary hiatus in a sort of writer's block way. Nothing she does reawakens her skills because her brain has turned to stagnated mush and she cannot rely on the memory of hands on experience in the sex game. However, Eden feels she has hit the magical jackpot when she sees Alec Ramsey standing on a sidewalk. Eden concludes that if she sleeps with the super sexy Alec, it will lead to the stimulation of her creative juices.

Eden and Alec desire one another, but neither wants a commitment. They agree the answer is to restrict their time together, keep feelings out of the relationship, and don't fall in love. However, keeping distances only leads to dreams; keeping out feelings only turns them deeper into need and desire; finally not falling love is impossible as each has already done so. Will Eden and Alec realize what they can have together or will the fears of the playboy and the creative genius make neither one step forward.

Readers will go wilde over PACKED WITH PLEASURE, a delightful erotic romance starring two charming lead protagonists. The story line is fun as Eden fantasizes from the first time she sees Alec. He insures her dreams pale compared to the realities. Besides an obvious talent for writing, Lori Wilde should consider opening up that little boutique because her audience will demand custom made pleasure baskets for their own midnight memories.
