BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Camilla can set her watch by her hunky rocket-scientist neighbor who jogs past her window each day. She relishes each glimpse of his shirtless abs, and is dying to see more. But it’s hard to connect with a man who doesn’t seem to know she exists…
Ivan feels at home in the lab, not in social situations. When he finally approaches his attractive neighbor, it’s not for a date—he wants tutoring in how to behave at an important fundraiser. Ivan doesn’t expect the chemistry between them to be quite so explosive, and is surprised when Cami actually accepts his proposal to embark on a series of “lessons”.
Cami soon discovers Ivan’s schedule isn’t the only thing he likes to be strict about—he needs to be charge in the bedroom as well. She’s shocked at how much she comes to enjoy her submissive side, but wonders if a real relationship is in the equation.
REVIEW:
Imagine the Big Bang Theory without the humor and with kinky sex and you have this book. Camilla lives in an apartment building with a bunch of nerds who hang out at her house. One of them is Ivan who while extremely smart he really just has no finesse with it comes to dinner parties and fundraising so he asks Camilla to help him with that. She has been attracted to him for a while but never thought he would look at her like more than a friend. Until one night. When Ivan shows Camilla the type of sex he enjoys includes him being a Dom and his female partner a sub she decides to give it a try.
It was hard for me to get the whole Big Bang Theory out of my head even though it was not exactly the same because Ivan is sexy and has no real sense of humor but I imagined a better looking Sheldon learning BDSM. And even with that image in my head it is still a really good read if you enjoy erotica. There is a definite storyline so the reader does not feel like it is a book of sex with a story for convenience. If you have thought about BDSM than you will enjoy this story because while Camilla is unsure and nervous Ivan gets her through the fear. If you are not into BDSM but enjoy erotica then you will probably still enjoy it anyway. If you are not into erotica then heck you may enjoy it too just skip the good parts.
