All Suzanne Talbot wants for Christmas is Greg Stone. She's fantasized about the sexy handyman for months. And she's recently heard from other women in her building that leaky pipes aren't all Greg fixes. So she decides to go for it... and quickly learns just how good Greg is with his hands... All Greg Stone wants for Christmas is Suzanne Talbot. Only, Suzanne's so classy, so sexy, so damn tempting. Why would she want a guy like him? But once Suzanne makes the first move, Greg can't resist her. They come together in explosive, sensual encounters that are as mystical, as magical as the season itself. And now all Greg has to do is convince Suzanne that the nights after Christmas can be even better...
Once again, Vicki Lewis Thompson manages to pull together well-developed characters, believable romantic development, and imaginative and original erotic scenes. Suzanne is a wonderful character, shy yet sexy, and her need for order is given a good reason. And Greg is one of those caring, generous men we all wish we could meet! While Thompson gives Greg good justification for his bias against well-educated women, I appreciated that he didn't hold onto that bias beyond the point of reason (sometimes male romance heroes are downright unbelievable in their adherence to bias).
In addition, Thompson once again manages to give us steamy scenes that stand out from the crowd. When you read a lot of romances, sometimes the erotic scenes can become a bit ho-hum, but Thompson always manages to give her lovemaking a fresh approach.
This is one of the best I've seen in the Temptation line -- a good balance of erotica, romance, and good characterization.
