Some like it hot! This is what comes to mind after reading "Private Pleasures" by Janelle Denison. Ms. Denison asked me to do some reviews for her and, y'all know me, I can't tell anyone no. I've only read a handful of Harlequin Temptations over the years, but whoa, ho, honey had I forgotten just how hot they are. This new-to-me-author writes with a flaming pen that expels sensuality in big-time, provocative fashion.

Grey Nichols and Mariah Stevens have been dating for months now and getting along quite well - in and out of bed. There's no need to change things, at least from Grey's perspective. Well, Mariah isn't quite sure that she feels that way about her current situation with Grey. She wants more out of life than just great sex and a great man. She wants a husband who will give her a couple of kids, too.

But Grey has some fears to deal with and, well, having children . . . that's just not part of his life's plans. But, after Mariah issues her ultimatum for something more solid, a commitment of the marital kind, Grey panics and says forget it. Only, with Mariah gone, Grey realizes he isn't having an easy a time living from day to day without her in his life.

Take the passion test and read this hot-to-trot story about two people destined to be together and one woman's ability to help the man she loves find himself and, thus, a life for them together.
