( ) Great novella that tells a different sort of story and does it in an unconventional way. The hero and heroine meet within a World of Warcraft-esque MMO and strike up a friendship and mild flirtation. When they realize that not only are they both college professors using the game as part of their research but that they're both professors at the same college, things get complicated. Only four months removed from breaking things off with her fiance, Allison wants to keep their romantic relationship online, but Seth has other ideas. The online gaming plays a major role in the plot and if the author doesn't play WoW herself, she certainly did her research. Everything from their chats to each other being pink to the elf dancing like a stripper to the frustration of dragging poorly-geared PUGs through a raid marked this as WoW to me, and I've been playing it off and on for, what, eight years now? Their in-game chats grow in flirtatiousness as the story progresses, and their chat-based sex scenes are charmingly awkward and scorching hot. All the chatting online shows the couple talking through the wonderful process of discovery that is dating someone new. By the time they connect in real life for the first time, they have the emotional intimacy of a couple that's been together for months. This leads the reader to easily read the ending as an HEA, even if forever and ever isn't really spelled out and would be sort of silly in context. I have just one complaint. FOOD SEX IS GROSS. There's a long scene at the end involving chocolate mousse, a paintbrush and lots of licking. This is not hot. In fact, the whole thing made me vaguely nauseated. I don't know who wants to be coated in sticky food and saliva, but it sure as hell isn't me. It was cute enough but not as good as some of the other works by Delphine Dryden.

I was greatly relieved to learn that the Heroine studies lies not tells them 3.5 stars.Cute, sexy shortish novel about two professors who meet online in a MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game - think World of Warcraft for example) and, after some mild flirting for months, realise that they are actually at the same university. The meet and things progress fairly quickly from there. I think the aspect of Allison self sabotaging relationships to protect herself from loss could have been explored further and the I love you will you marry me was too fast for me. But, for the most part, I found this an enjoyable read. As I don't play MMORPG's I can't say how accurate the play depicted was, but according to my husband (who does play) and from what I told him, it seemed like it probably was (with only a few name changes, I suspect to protect from copyright breaches).www.kaetrinsmusings.blogspot.com sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
