Review: How To Misbehave by Ruthie Knox

HOW TO MISBEHAVE BY RUTHIE KNOX

What woman can resist a hot man in a hard hat? Beloved author Ruthie Knox kicks off her new Camelot series with this deliciously sexy original novella, in which a good girl learns how to misbehave . . . with all her heart.

As program director for the Camelot Community Center, Amber Clark knows how to keep her cool. That is, until a sudden tornado warning forces her to take shelter in a darkened basement with a hunk of man whose sex appeal green lights her every fantasy. With a voice that would melt chocolate, he asks her if she is okay. Now she’s hot all over and wondering: How does a girl make a move? 

Building contractor Tony Mazzara was just looking to escape nature’s fury. Instead, he finds himself all tangled up with lovely Amber. Sweet and sexy, she’s ready to unleash her wild side. Their mutual desire reaches a fever pitch and creates a storm of its own—unexpected, powerful, and unforgettable. But is it bigger than Tony can handle? Can he let go of painful memories and let the force of this remarkable woman show him a future he never dreamed existed?

E-book novella. 96 pp; 30,000 words. ISBN: 978-0-345-54530-5. Publication date: January 28, 2013.

I am a sucker for stories about resurrection sex. You know, the kind of sex that makes up for all those times that sex was anything but right. The kind of sex that reignites your faith in humanity and makes light bulbs go off in your head and a general feeling that, “Yeah! This is what it’s supposed to be like! I get it! Hurray!”

So many women will go through a significant portion of their sexual relationships without ever experiencing pleasure or orgasms. The reasons vary: inexperience, lack of confidence, uncaring partners, etc. But, then someone or something will change and a whole new world will awaken. And that’s what I love about this novella. The characters are so genuine and unpretentious. The story is so natural. Who hasn’t dreamed of more? Or come to a point in your life where you are tired of paying for the mistakes from your past?

I love that Knox used this subject matter. I love her characters even more. The dialog is so honest and brave. Knox’s characters dance very close to over the top but never cross over because she imbues them with a sense of reality that is endearing. Amber isn’t a saint and Tony isn’t a bad boy either. But together they make the kind of couple you want to root for!

Knox is no slouch when it comes to writing sex scenes and How To Misbehave Is no exception. The sex scenes are hot and sexy. There really is a science to writing sex scenes that feel natural, building momentum organically, and Knox has captured that quite successfully in this story.

Since the story is a novella, you can indulge yourself for a Valentine’s Day treat a little early.

 

Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved to read story books. She devoured them because they were full of magical possibilities with every turn of the page. Then the little girl grew up and school work occupied more and more of her time. Eventually the little girl graduated from school, trading in poets & prose for business management & autobiographies. Magic was left behind in her quest for the top and the world became a place filled with “paradigm shifts”, ROI & financial reports. Before she knew it, the girl was a woman who felt out of touch with the world’s magic until she met Birth and her sister Death. While Birth filled her with wonder & happiness; Death filled her with sadness & loss. And so one day she set aside the management books and instead picked up a paperback story filled with vampires, shifters & telepaths. Lo and behold, her passion for these stories blossomed and the woman became a believer in the magic of reading, again. My name is Believer9200 and I believe in the magic of stories because they give me hope.

    Tag Cloud. If the executives promise high traffic then understand you are talking with a non-SEO person.
    You can then take a hard look at the companies that come up for that particular keyword.
    Working with an SEO expert in your country can help as SEO experts within the same country generally know how
    to optimize websites for a specific country’s audience more effectively.
