Suzanne Brennan is a blonde veterinary student living in Canada. She is a conservative
girl until she is around Jaxon, who brings out her sexy twin side. Suzanne is single and
wants to meet a man who she can marry and start a family with someday. Her friends
convince her to see Jaxon again to see if what they had could turn into love.
Jaxon Navarre is a black lawyer in San Francisco trying to make partner. He came from
a poor family and is obsessed with making partner in his firm so he can take care of his
mother. His wife divorced him because he was too busy working. If Jaxon makes
partner at the firm, he will be working even more hours. Will he have time for Suzanne?
Four years ago, Suzanne and Jaxon met on a nude beach in Crete. Their mind-blowing
sexual encounter is hard to forget, and they decide to meet again. By sticking to
occasional sex without any personal conversations, they keep their meetings fresh and
exciting. When they break this rule, they discover that they have different goals in life.
Neither one will admit they have feelings for the other, and Suzanne thinks about
breaking it off with Jaxon because he is too obsessed with his work. Is she making a
huge mistake?
Suzanne and Jaxon struggle to understand their relationship that is built on sex only. Ms.
Lyons skillfully explores this issue by showing the conflict through the eyes of both
characters. The character development is well done. I felt I knew Suzanne and Jaxon
intimately. Even the supporting characters stand out. This is a heartwarming romance
topped with steaming hot erotica. Their risky sex adventures turned up the heat to
boiling. I loved the ending because you do not know until the final pages if they end up
together.
