Thirteen Hours Book

3.5 Stars. For my Fallback Friday book I decided to go with Meghan O'Brien's 2008 book Thirteen Hours. I'm a big O'Brien fan. I would put her in my top ten favorite lesfic authors. I have read most of her full length books except for a few older ones so I thought this was the perfect chance to cross another off the list. I did like this read but I do have to admit it is one of my least favorites by her.

If you have not read this book before it is about an exotic dancer and an uptight businesswomen who get locked in an elevator for 13 hours. It was a cute concept and I love the cover on my paperback, but the story didn't hold my attention to well. It's a nice erotic romance but there was not enough plot points to really suck me into the story.

When it comes to this being an older book, I think that is part of my problem. It's not that the book seemed dated being over a decade old. Really only a few times did they talk about computers and email that had me chuckling. The problem was this book didn't hold up as well compared to O'Brien's newer books. We all know O'Brien is the queen of sex scenes, but compared to the heat of The Sex Therapist New Door, this book couldn't compete. Compared to the storyline of Battle Scars or Wild, this book couldn't compete. I think if I had read this book, years ago, I would have loved it. But now I know how great her books can be that this book just doesn't hold up as well.

If you are looking for a hot and steamy romance with no angst, you might enjoy this. It was a good read just not nearly as great as O'Brien's other books are.
