| Dana has been disappointed with her past sexual relationships. She has set her sights on a co-worker, Reese, who has a reputation for love and leave 'em sexual exploits. Dana uncharacteristically and boldly goes after Reese, who has already noticed Dana but realizes she is really not the one night stand kind of girl. Now Dana just has to convince Reese she's in it for the fun, but Dana didn't count on Reese wanting more than one night.
Dana's inherit sweetness contradicted by her bold assertiveness in getting Reese's attention shows the reader just how likable Dana really is. Her actions throughout the book only make the reader like her more. Reese was a surprise to me. Even though he was obviously well liked by the ladies, he was thoughtful and attentive to Dana's real personality. In fact, I would have to say their roles were reversed from the norm – Reese was the one who wanted more from the relationship initially. This is a quick read so there isn't a whole lot of plot, but the story is interesting and entertaining. It's written in a fun tone and the relationship is a lot like Dana's personality – sweet and sexy with the promise of more once you get too know her. Dana's friend Sandy is a good secondary character, allowing the reader to see another side of Dana. Overall, the book ended like I had anticipated and made for an enjoyable short read.
