You have to know what you are getting into before you read this. It was a quick and sexy read. And it was good for what it was. I wish there was a little more depth to the characters and a little more story but all in all it probably won't be my last erotic fix from Ms. Carew.

I actually enjoyed this book, which I wasn’t sure I was going to.

I picked it up forever ago, kind of read some of it, but didn’t really enjoy it and so put it back on the shelf. I finally picked it back up, and found that it really wasn’t too bad.

Hanna has a hard time orgasming, and always has. Her ex-boyfriend Grey tried to help, but it wasn’t working. But now that she’s met J.M., a guy who knows what he’s doing, Grey wants her back.

I felt a little bad for Hanna, given her orgasm problem, and then not knowing what to do about the men in her life. I didn’t really like how she was kind of fooling around with both of them, though, without being completely honest about it. (She told them some things, but not everything, which caused some problems.) I also felt bad for the guys, though—they both wanted her, and they both wanted to help, but they didn’t know what to do about it.

The solution was a little surprising, since I wasn’t sure if that’s where this book was heading, and I wasn’t sure at first how I felt, but I do kind of like how it ended up. And since they all seem happy to accept it, good for them.

I liked the way the romance developed, how the three of them worked through it all. The sex was pretty good, although it wasn’t all that kinky or intense for me. It was still nice, though, and easy to read. There was quite a bit of spiritual talk, going with the whole tantra and kama sutra thing, which I just didn't really care for. It wasn't bad, just not really an interest of mine.

Overall, I did rather enjoy this book, and I’m happy about that.

No matter how she tries or how a partner tries, Hanna has never had an orgasm. After a heartbreaking breakup with her boyfriend Grey, Hanna knows she needs to make some changes in her life and taking a course on karma sutra seems like the perfect place to start. She may not have made it to the class but instructor J.M. is making amazing progress with Hanna. Until Grey comes back to town and wants to win her back. He needs to open his heart and share his secrets with Hanna but he's broken her heart once, can she accept him back in to her life? Especially when J.M. offers such an amazing, orgasmic alternative. Fun, sexy, steamy read.

I enjoyed how all of the characters were connected without any of them realizing it. But, I was disappointed with how the story ended, it was very predictable.

What can I say about this book? It was decent for what it is meant to be, a quick erotica novel. There was no depth to the characters or the storyline. I think that may be partially why I did not enjoy it as I had hoped. I couldn't see why any of the characters were attracted to each other. And the ending...it was just too perfect for me.
I might recommend it to someone looking for a surface-level, easy read

The book was awesome kind of. I liked the idea of the story but I disliked how the author put it together. It was nice but very lackluster.

I grieved for Hannah's inability to have an orgasm.I was right there with her when each wave approached only to have it slip away. I loved JM's character. He was very knowledgeable and patient, everything a woman would want in a teacher.Then there was Grey, the kind, adorable boyfriend with a heart of gold, willing to do anything to please his woman.The ending was a bit of a surprise and I'm not ashamed to say that it was exactly what I hoped for. I enjoyed seeing Hannah blossom and take her own sexual satisfaction in to her own hands,I enjoyed seeing her stand up for what she wanted.

I can't wait to read more books by this author.
