Pete Fusconi is about to begin house-sitting when he spies the widow of an old friend in her apartment, holding a pill bottle.  Frantic because her husband killed himself with pills, Pete wracks his brain for a way to distract her.  The only way he can think of is to go out on the balcony and strip for her. 

Misty Wilson’s life has been reduced to watching other people through binoculars.  To her shock, one night she gets quite a show from her old friend Pete.  After Pete’s striptease, they begin a game of one-upmanship.  Will Misty get a life and become the bad girl of Pete’s dreams, or will they end up taking it slow?

Taking it Slow was a hot, fun read.  I liked the voyeurism involved in the story—it was just enough to be sexy without being over the top.  Pete was a great hero.  He was sexy, sweet, caring, and adorably flustered at times.  Misty has been hiding from life for years, but she has good reason.  Watching her step back into life was entertaining, especially when she consulted Pete’s younger brother for advice.  If you’re in the mood for a cute, hot, quick read with a touch of voyeurism, pick up Taking it Slow.
