Rub Me Down, Love Me Up Sex guru Dr. Fiona Bliss runs a for-women-only spa where ladies unleash their inner goddess, basking like Aphrodite in flowing robes while buff men cater to their every need. But stuntwoman Andy McAllister doesn't have time for a massage. Not when her eccentric Aunt Matilda has disappeared into Blissland.
Disguising herself as a rich, mousy client, Andy runs straight into P.I. Dillon Roth, who's undercover himself, investigating the untimely death of a spa guest. Fall in love with the guy? She could do that in a heartbeat.
Get ready for world-class backstabbing, radical romance, and hilarious bitchery. And when the investigation heats up, Andy and Dillon are ready for sheet-scorching fun. . .
Ariadne (Andy) McAllister is a stuntwoman in a family filled with stunt actors. After finishing up a grueling film, all Andy wants is to go on vacation somewhere she can lay out and have sex on the beach (literally and figuratively). Unfortunately, her family has a different idea of how she should spend her vacation. It seems her aunt (also a stuntwoman) went on a ladies’ retreat some time ago and never returned. Furthermore, a rich guest just met with her untimely death, and everyone is worried that something has happened to Andy’s aunt. Andy’s family insists that she go undercover to the retreat and try to find out what happened to her aunt.
Dillon Roth is recovering from a crippling accident when he is sent to Terra Bliss, a women-only retreat. His task is to go undercover as a ladies’ attendant (or slave, as the women like to call them) and investigate the death of a rich guest. Dillon is assigned to be Andy’s attendant. Together they discover that there’s a mutual attraction – but neither is who they say they are.
Who Wants to be a Sex Goddess? is like cotton candy for the brain – it’s good in the moment but upon reflection it lacks substance. The book is very silly; the jams Andy gets herself in are reminiscent of an “I Love Lucy” episode. Keeping in mind the cotton candy analogy, however, it’s entirely possible to enjoy this book for what it is: fun, frothy entertainment. Gemma Bruce is the pseudonym of a popular mystery writer, but here the mystery takes a backseat to the hot and steamy romance between Andy and Dillon. The question of Andy’s aunt’s disappearance is well done, though not particularly mysterious. Overall, Who Wants to be a Sex Goddess? is candy for the brain – if your brain deserves a candy break, this would be a great book to treat it with.
A 91-year-old lady from my church lent me this book, so I was a little surprised by all the truly graphic sex scenes. Frankly, I'm pretty embarrassed that people will know I've read this, but it's so bad I felt a social obligation to warn others...on the other hand, the fact that the names of the characters in the book don't match their names on the jacket description should be warning enough....run away!
This was quick and the idea was fun. I will probably read more of hers just to see what else she can do. I loved the characters and that the womean was completely "able" and not your typical tragic story in need of a man to rescue her.
Cute little mystery. I liked the characters. Would have liked more plot development, but with the title of the book being what it was... If you expect cheesy and fun, but not amazing writing then you'll have fun with it.
