Author Eden Morell is being pressured by her editor to up the heat level in her medical-themed romances.  The only problem?  The voluptuous writer and New Age store owner has never found sex too exciting.  But all that changes when Professor Sean Rafferty walks into her store.  The wickedly sensual physicist takes one look at Eden and all he wants to do is touch.  And touch he does.  Soon the romance writer who has never been too lucky in love and has never believed her unfashionable curves to be appealing finds that there’s a whole lot more to sex, beauty, and love than she ever could have imagined.

Passion and tenderness is the name of the game in this fantastic, red-hot romance by Sahara Kelly.  Touch Me is a gorgeous blend of eroticism and warmth with characters who are sure to capture your heart and not let go.

Sean is a dazzlingly erotic whirlwind.  He has an energy that jumps off the page from the very first, and it’s his natural exuberance, not to mention his open appreciation for Eden, which charmed me so well.  Like Eden, I found him to be impossible to resist.  Speaking of the object of Sean’s desire, what I loved about Eden is how real she felt.  She’s intelligent, kind, and lovely, but she has very real self-esteem issues when it comes to her looks.  I delighted in watching Sean work to make Eden see that she was beautiful, and not just on the inside.  It was just one of the many aspects of their romance that made me sigh with pleasure as I read.

Though Touch Me is the fifth story in the Sexplorations sextet, each book has been written to stand on its own.  Nevertheless, the foundation of this series is the friendship between the women and that friendship, I am happy to say, plays an important role in Eden’s story.  One of the most endearing things about the Sexplorations series is that it is about love not only in the romantic sense, but between friends who have become sisters of the heart, and Touch Me is a perfect example of that.

By turns romantic, sensual, heartwarming, and humorous, Touch Me only becomes more enchanting with each read.  I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve re-read this story and have fallen in love not only with Sean and Eden’s romance, but the friendship between the Sexplorations heroines.  In the end, I can say nothing more than I Joyfully – eagerly – Recommend this tale.
