Susan Johnson has returned to what works for her in this contemporary title that features the best and worst of her writing. True to form, Johnson has created two characters who don't want a relationship with their sex but end up liking their chemistry so much they don't want to walk off in the morning. Liv and Jake hate their mutual obsession so much they spend too much time taking it out on each other. There's no real love story involved, just two lustful people who like sleeping together.
In an endeavor to insert a storyline Johnson has brought in Janie, a mutual friend of Liv and Jake and a trophy wife who is being replaced. This plotline is actually pretty interesting and I would have liked to have seen it as it's own story without the irrelelvant sex. When the character was introduced I thought I would hate her, but she ended up be smart and spunky. I loved watching her outwit her almost-ex.
If Johnson had been able to give Liv and Jake a storyline as interesting as Janie's this would have been an excellent book. Unfortuately she didn't and their story is mostly made up of them trying to convince themselves to walk away. Janie's story, while interesting, feels out of place as the driving plot bcause she is a secondary character.
Overall WT&S is an entertaining book but not likely to hit my keeper shelf or my list of recommended reads.

This book made me reread all SJ old historical romance novels that were what I now consider my very first dip into erotica. I've enjoyed her strong male characters in denial and her also strong female characters who are always prepared to pick up the pieces and move on if love fails which it never does. This book is modern version and slightly toned down though SJ's written sex scenes as always are HOT!. I'm glad I read this book and I think fans of her old work will enjoy this also.

I purchased this book for my wife. She said that it was very well written and very hot.

and quite frankly, I am having trouble finishing.
I LOVE Susan Johnson's historical romances. They are always well developed, hot and steamy. I love her historic novels so much that I purchase her books whenever I see one I don't currently own without knowing anything about the story.
There are three solid things I know and have come to expect from her books.
1) The guy will always be hot
2) It will be well written, character development, plot, etc.
3) So steamy you'll need your man or device.
So far, this book only has one of the two. The guy is hot (looking), but his character is so flat that I can't feel him.
Other issues? I feel like I'm reading an amateur novelist's very first time in print. There is absolutely no feeling between the main characters. No indication that they feel anything other than the need to get laid by a beautiful face.
The verse is so choppy and feels so forced that its not even entertaining. I'm hoping it will get better, but it has that Gilmore Girls, choppy dialect feel going on and that is so not sexy.

Author, please note: When describing scenes of real passion it is important to remember that less is always more, especially if you can ignite the reader's imagination to take flight on its own. Because I skipped over your repetitive "sex marathons" I finished your book in 15 minutes. Most people enjoy reading books with a plot. Your book was pure, unadulterated crap. You need serious writing classes immediately and your publisher needs brain surgery for publishing such a poor excuse for literature.
