This was my first Susan Johnson, recommended by a friend who knows that I enjoy both erotica and bodice-rippers upon occasion. As far as erotica goes the sex scenes are very well done, thoroughly described but not disgusting or pornographic, and the emotion is slowly but clearly shown from the start. However, from the first very hot tryst there are less and less sex scenes (and less description) until finally there are none at all for the final quarter of the book or so. The story was well-done, though I did find both main characters to act far more mature than most 25-year-olds I've known (or was). Overall, recommended to readers of this type of fiction but don't get your hopes up too high. Still, I'll be reading more of Johnson's work and have two more of her books on order.
