Sounds like a good read. I've got a couple of books ahead of it, but it's on the list :) Thanks for the review.

Whew - just got half the post written and realized there was nothing sexy yet! So this is my re-start ;)
I ready a great book this week - Great-Aunt Sophia's Lessons for Bombshells by Lisa Cach. Although I'm sure this may send a few people running, I have to say I found it hotter than 50 Shades of Grey. Yes, I'm one of the people who didn't really enjoy 50 Shades. Or the second in that series. I'm patiently withholding judgment on the third til after I read it. At least they're quick enough reads that I can get through them anyway. Heavens - I just got terribly off-track again!
Here's the summary from Amazon:
Grace Cavanaugh is hell-bent on proving her Women’s Studies
dissertation thesis that beauty only leads to misery. And what better
research subject than her great-aunt Sophia, a former B-movie star? Now
eighty-five and facing surgery, Sophia has asked Grace for company. . . .
Grace imagines a helpless, lonely old woman, forced to turn to a
great-niece she barely knows. Instead she finds the aging diva holding
court in a Pebble Beach mansion, oozing a bombshell-itude—arthritis and
wrinkles be damned—that captivates every male in sight. To Grace’s
dismay, her greataunt decides a perfect distraction would be
transforming the frumpy feminist into a femme fatale who purrs for her
suitors . . . or devours them. She ordains classes in everything from
carb cutting to lingerie, culminating in a challenging final exam. The
newly svelte Grace must test her wiles—on both devilishly handsome and
morally corrupt Declan and sensitive but painfully awkward Dr. Andrew.
Newly
unleashed desires—and the discovery of a closely held family secret—
threaten the bookworm-turned-babe’s entire feminist upbringing. Her
thesis gone sadly awry, Grace wonders if her great-aunt is right: Will
trusting her heart lead her to find beauty in the most unexpected
places?
So onto the sexy part. Declan seduces Grace without even touching her the first time. Of course that's something that makes it pretty easy to communicate in a book, and be really steamy with the only thing missing being his real voice.
I loved following Grace's transformation. As I read in my hoodie and jeans, I imagined what it would be like to be taught to be so sexy. Sounded like fun, no matter how liberated she wanted to think she was.
While this book was a sassy, entertaining read, it made today's post because it was sexier than I expected in a pop-fiction time-waster. :)
