Tracie Hill is not happy. Her wonderful
boss has just retired, and tomorrow she’s getting a new boss,
who’s rumored to be a tyrant. She’s also just had a bad
breakup, and on top of everything else her pantyhose have a
huge run. She’s taking them off when a stranger appears in
the office, looking for her former boss. Before she can get
rid of him and lock up, the electricity goes off, trapping
them in the office! Will she seize her chance to act out her
fantasies?
After reading the blurb, I thought
Call Me Pete would be just the kind of hot and spicy
read I was looking for. The sex-with-a-stranger premise was
promising. With toys, lots of varied sex scenes, and a rating
of “ultra erotic,” this should have been a great read. My
problem with Call Me Pete, however, is that
although the sex was incredibly hot, I couldn’t get into it.
I couldn’t get into the story because I didn’t like the
characters at all. Tracie seemed way too quick to agree to
anything and everything Pete wanted to do, despite having no
clue who he was. When she found out who he really was, she
acquiesced to his demands instantly. Pete came across as a
total chauvinist, throwing the “c” word around constantly and
treating Tracie like an object most of the time. I was hoping
Pete would redeem himself by doing something at least slightly
romantic, but at the end of the story, Pete capped it off by
acting in a manner that would be considered sexual harassment
in any workplace. While I’m normally a huge fan of dirty talk
and spicy sex, I didn’t enjoy this story, and I wouldn’t
recommend it. |
