"A blazing story"

In Texas, Allison Tracy informs her two best friends that she is sick of men and all the work it takes to forge a relationship with the losers she dates. She is tired of killing herself when the male acts so selfish and demanding everything their way. Allison has considered swearing off males entirely. However, the successful pharmaceutical saleswoman decides she likes sex so much she will find herself a boy toy to use until she tires of him and then replace that dud with a new stud.

At Westview Motors, service writer Pete Chisholm services Allison's vehicle and flirts outrageously with his customer. Normally she would have told this moron where to go, but this time she decides the hunk is perfect for a brief fling with no attachments. However, as they spend time together in and out of bed, they fall in love, but neither wants to be the first to admit they want to remain permanently together.

THE BOY TOY is an engaging contemporary romance that stars two individuals who represent the foibles of modern relationships. The story line moves forward rather quickly as the lead couple revises their desires. Fans will love the heat of this torrid tale.
