Reviews Today Trying to forget how his fiancée cheated on him, Dev has spent the past two weeks immersing himself in this exotic, uninhibited culture. When he sees the prim lady who refused to refund his honeymoon deposit sunbathing topless, he decides to have some payback. What starts out as petty revenge quickly turns into lust and excitement, though, since Dev is fascinated by Taylor. When he asks her if she would like to spend the rest of her vacation with him, he is delighted when she accepts. He sets out to make sure this is a trip she will not soon forget, and together they explore pleasure in paradise. Dev is reluctant to see it end, even though they have agreed to go their separate ways once their vacation is over. The time he has spent with Taylor has convinced him that she is the perfect match for him, even if she won't admit it to herself. Can he convince Taylor that their affair can last for the rest of their lives? Taylor is just as fascinated with Dev, but refuses to allow herself to be controlled by another man. She went through that with her first husband, and she has become an independent woman. Now Dev wants to take their relationship to a whole new level, and Taylor isn't ready. Can she overcome her fear of failing in another relationship? Should she put her faith in Dev, with whom she can so easily be herself? Hot, sexy and just plain fun, Slippery When Wet by Kristin Hardy is an erotic rollercoaster ride of witty dialogue and great characters! Taylor is a woman not afraid to take chances, except when it comes to matters of the heart. Her growth as a person who can trust her instincts about relationships is a major theme, and readers will easily identify with it and her. Dev is just the man for her, more than happy showing her the fun that can be had in their tryst, and how much more it could be if she would only believe in him. He is charismatic and an adventurer. Their intimate encounters are passionate and frequent, especially while they are in Cozumel, but never overwhelm the love story. The beauty and wildness of this land adds to the intense and heated love scenes in this book. A fantastic read for a cool summer night, Slippery When Wet by Kristin Hardy is a must read! -- Courtney Bowden Romantic
Times (4 stars) The
Romance Reader's Connection (4 roses) Extensive renovations to her office building hampered the travel agency's ability to bring in new vacation business and gave Taylor DeWitt an excuse to visit some properties in the Caribbean, topped off by a few days to herself in Cozumel. It was the first vacation she had taken in years and she relished the prospect of sun, sand and perhaps a wild vacation fling. How could she have imagined that her handsome and disgruntled customer would become her lover for the week? What happens when a vacation fling follows you home to the real world? Can ghosts of the past be set aside and hearts healed? Slippery When Wet is a must-have for a day at the beach! Dev and Taylor have much in common, their attraction and lusty adventures are a treat to read. Ms. Hardy's talent for weaving creative and sizzling love scenes keeps the reader enthralled and on the edge of her seat! The hero and heroine also share heartache and betrayal in their respective pasts, so this colors their initial view of a relationship and sows the seeds of the obstacle they will face. Slippery When Wet is the third book of Ms. Hardy's "Under the Covers" trilogy. Although part of a series, it stands alone well. However, I urge all readers to also pick up the author's previous titles, especially my personal favorite, As Bad As Can Be. -- Melissa Freeman
Dev Carson couldn't believe his luck. Taylor's travel agency had refused to refund his money when he went to cancel his honeymoon trip. After all, if the wedding was off, the trip should be too, right? After three weeks in paradise, Dev has definitely mellowed out. Maybe he should have a vacation fling in his last week before returning to the real world. And Dev had just the woman in mind -- Taylor. Taylor and Dev are inseparable during their week-long affair. Dev encourages Taylor to reclaim her wild side, a part of herself she's been suppressing for years. But can they both go back to their old lives when the week is up? Fate has other plans for this couple when they return to Baltimore. Will Dev be able to convince Taylor to give their relationship a chance? Or will her insecurities from her previous marriage keep her from enjoying life to the fullest? Ms. Hardy describes Cozumel so vividly, this reader almost feels as if she is there. I enjoyed the lush landscape and beautiful beaches. I could almost smell the scent of seawater. Dev and Taylor are blazing hot in Slippery When Wet. I wish the ending had been a little more drawn out, but otherwise I found this novel engaging and easy to read. If you haven't read a Blaze series romance lately, give this one a try! -- Denise Powers
