And I normally LOVE Rebecca York's work. *sigh* The heroine's a psychologist with a PhD in human sexuality who's just started a new job writing a sex advice column for a women's magazine. The hero's a private investigator investigating the suspicious death of her predecessor. Despite her knowledge, she's still a bit of a prude in the bedroom. He's been unable to climax with a partner since his ex-wife was kidnapped. It's a Blaze, in case the subject matter didn't give it away. Extra half point for knocking down, smashing, and stomping on the masturbation taboo in romance. But there were threads that didn't go anywhere, and the characters got kind of tedious after a while. The mystery plot seemed tacked on as a way to force the h/h into close contact. ( )
