"A good category romance"
Attorney Nick Deveraux hates his brother's plan because he
feels it is sneaky going against his personal ethics. If
Desiree Moon has acted libelous towards Ron's Internet
company, Guilty Pleasures, Nick prefers suing. However,
Ron plays his only hand using their mother as blackmail.
Nick knows that Ron has no compunctions to "borrow" from
their widowed mom who cannot absorb another assault on her
finances. Thus Nick is in a hotel ready prove on-line sex
critic Desiree Moon is a fraud. Meg Sugarbaker has no idea how a chef at Atlanta's
exclusive Renaud became a sex expert writing about gadgets
for the e-magazine Foreplay when she cannot get a date.
When Nick and Meg meet in the hotel, sparks fly. However,
as they fall in love and he becomes her "boy toy" testing
devices, he knows he will have to somehow reveal the truth
about his sibling, but hopes that he does not have to
choose between his beloved and his loved ones. JUST TOYING AROUND is an exciting contemporary romance
starring two delectable lead characters whose antics are
fun, eminently refined when they employ sex gadgetry. Ron
is a loser; blackmailing Nick to do his bidding seems a
stretch to accept especially since readers will see
just how ethical one is and how sleazy the other is. Still,
fans will enjoy JUST TOYING AROUND, but should be
forewarned that these are professional characters trained
to use the gadgets so test the toys on him (not yourself)
first, in case you obtain one manufactured by Ron. Harriet Klausner

SummaryMeg Sugarbaker is living a secret life. By day she's a
pastry chef. By night she's the notorious Desiree Moon,
acclaimed online sex-toy critic. Which wouldn't be so bad
if she had some experience. But she's about to get some—
big time. Because when gorgeous Nick Devereau shows up at
her door wearing nothing but a towel, all Meg want to do is
play with him...
Ultraconservative lawyer Nick Devereau is still wondering
how he ended up at a sex-toy convention! He was just
trying to straighten out his brother, Ron. Instead, he'd
been talked into helping Ron expose Desiree Moon—the critic
panning Ron's products—as a fraud. Only, once Nick sets
eyes on Desiree, his plans take a radical turn. Yes,
he'll still do his best to expose Desiree. But he'll be
keeping her sexual secrets to himself...
