When a mysterious caller, the "Lion", to her midnight radio show targets Joie as his prime candidate for seduction, she cannot seem to resist him. After a failed marriage to a cheater, she's not sure she wants any man let alone a stranger who seduces her by voice recording.

Returning home to convince Joie that they should be more than sex friends, Leo is determined to get it right this time. Getting through this past year a special ops agent had only happened because the memories of Joie were burned into his heart and mind.

I found this story to have well written love scenes but honestly felt that there really wasn't much plot to connect the sex scenes of the story. The love scenes were definitely hot and very sensual but I didn't find the backstory that compelling. I have no idea what Leo's background as a special ops agent had to do with the story at all. I realize his partner was killed and he had a near death experience but still don't get why that made him realize that the best lay he ever had was also the love of his life. More to the point I don't believe it did.

Also, Joie is worried about becoming attached to the sensual voice on the cd/tape (it was called one then the other so I have no idea which it was) but that was after listening to only one package from him and based on that she decided to return the second package unopened. The fact that Joie couldn't figure out that Leo was the "Lion" (Leo=Lion??) was a bit absurd.

If you want to read some erotica that sizzles with hot sex scenes and don't really care about the story than this is the read for you. It definitely has juicy, sexy love scenes. I'm all for sizzle, but I need a little more substance, unfortunately here I was just not convinced.

I give it 3 cats.
