Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-07 00:00:00 Jerry Ford I don�t often comment on it, but that�s one eye-catching cover on the edition I read. It seems really unusual to lead with an interior shot without any humans or human parts in the frame, but I liked it. It�s like that bed is waiting. Emily left her previous power job because she moved in with a co-worker and when they broke up she quit. She�s now secretly writing a novel and cleaning rich people flats. One day, she�s still at Lucas� place working away at her novel on her laptop when he comes home and catches her. It could have been a fairly terrible scene, but Lucas has serious man flu, so he doesn�t launch into the traditional romance hero thing where he accuses her of being a druggie gold digging scammy criminal and immediately demand that she become his mistress. Instead, Emily goes home and Lucas goes to bed. Emily senses that there is some lightning-shaped rip in Romancelandia�s space-time continuum, and that to prevent the entire fabric of the universe unravelling, she�s going to have to take an unusually active role in kicking this romance along. She pesters poor Lucas until he agrees to letting her look after him, and she moves in for a couple of days to nurse him back to health. It�s a good thing she does, because if she hadn�t: no more category romances. Ever. What makes this romance for me forever is that Lucas and Emily have fever sex. Fever sex is most unaccountably awesome. I first realised that this was a thing when I read a short story about the time when Dragonlance�s Raistlin got really sick and there was this beautiful girl and a tent and what could have been an hallucination and may have had a nine month later consequence that was dealt with in another story with a grown up daughter who may have been scamming. I read that story so long ago that I think I am partially making it up. I am squeamish and wary of medical romances because I worry about people having sex in hospitals. And nothing tastes good when you�re sick, you ache all over, there�s all the coughing and sweating and pain. I don�t get why I like fever sex, but I do. Lucas and Emily are both nice enough and have only modest baggage. Having said that, there�s a casualness in the way they interact and talk that I�m not quite convinced works for me, and I wasn�t completely happy with the mystery surrounding Emily�s ex. Enjoyable enough that I�ll try more Catherine George books.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-03-05 00:00:00 Andrew Nicolai Cuando Lucas llega a casa enfermo, lo que menos espera es ver a una joven en su casa... a pesar de que es su asistenta, jam�s se hab�an visto hasta ese d�a y tal vez fue lo mejor que pudo pasarle porque de otra manera nunca hubiesen pasado tiempo juntos mientras Lucas tenia una fuerte gripe y Emily lo ayuda. Es una historia simple, algo instalove pero ideal para pasar unas horas de lectura, Lucas parece algo que no es y lo va demostrando con el pasar de los cap�tulos y Emily a pesar de haber pasado una relaci�n un poquito turbulenta no se cierra al amor por lo que son bastante tiernos juntos.
