Product Description
Lola has a body made for sin and passion to match...
A struggling college student by day and stripper by night, Lola Bordenaux is definitely not looking for love, until one day it literally sweeps her off her feet...and into the nearest Emergency Room. It's impossible to resist the unconditional love and unbelievably hot sex offered by her former professor, Peter Koss. Intrigued by the possibilities presented by a virginal mate, Lola can't wait to mold him into the perfect lover.
Lucky for her, this boy genius learns quickly and is very good with his hands, his mouth, and assorted other body parts. Giddy with their new found love, they quickly move in together, but Lola can't resist the appeal of the strip club, and their relationship is trashed in her wake.
Five years later, older, wiser, and determined to achieve all her ambitions, Lola returns to the school and the man she has always wanted. But it will take more than apologies to win him back. First, they'll have to fight together for their lives.
Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal intercourse, violence.

Format:Paperback
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I had decided to read this novel after a friend recommended it and I'm so glad she did. It was such a beautiful story, I didn't want it to end.
Unlike many romance/IR romances I've read, the characters in this were well-developed. What I liked most about this novel is that it was more than just romance; there was action, adventure with a bit of suspense all rolled into one, a quality which many romance novels often lack. The fact that this novel offered a lot of variety, in terms of the events and challenges encountered by the characters, was intriguing.
This book is definately in my list of favourites and look forward to reading more from this author.

Tried it and Loved it!
25 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
I won't give a summary of the book b/c the Joyfully Reviewed reviewer does such a great job on this page already. I will say that Try A Little Tenderness is a well-written, well-told story that sometimes made me laugh out loud, and sigh in sympathy and ENVY. I love Lola, a complex character who is at the same time relatable. She's a stripper with a brain, one who (like a lot of strippers) doesn't have a lot of career options. She is sexy, soft, without any illusions and determined to get her education.
Koz is fantastic. A child genius grown into a brainiac professor who is more beta than alpha, all he wants is to love and take care of his woman. She is the more experienced of the two sexually (a novel twist that I loved), but he is a quick study and rocks her world just as much as she does his. The book is much more than great sex thrown between lines of dialogue, however. The characters' growth and interaction are refreshing. The smart dialogue, the emotions, the descriptive scenes all combine to draw the reader in and keep her engaged.
I love this book that has everything: a complicated plot that involves romance, hot sex, angst and some great adventure.

Try a Little Tenderness
24 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
Stripping to pay her way through college is just another sacrifice Lola Bordenaux is willing to make if it means she will be able to create a life for herself after years of abuse in the foster care system. The last person she expects to find staring as she shakes her God given gifts is Peter Koss, the same professor who was willing to kick her out of the microbiology program because of her lack of focus. A fluke accident sends Lola to the ER and right into Koss' arms where she's able to experience for the first time in her life unconditional love.
A child prodigy whose social skills were the only thing he hadn't mastered by the age of 14, Dr. Koss' experience with women was basically nil. Yet he knew without a doubt that he wanted and loved Lola, despite knowing she took her clothing off for men for a living. Unused to love and scared out of her wits, Lola does the one thing she knows how to do, she runs. How else can she prevent the stain on her soul from infecting the man she loves?
Sometimes trying to live with decisions you've made is the hardest thing and Lola finds that out first hand when after five years she decides she wants Koss back and finds out that this time around nothing will be easy and the pain of her desertion might have crushed her one true chance at love.
I sat down with Try a Little Tenderness prepared to find it filled to the brim with over the top, soap opera drama from one chapter to the next. So imagine by pleasure when Roslyn Hardy Holcomb's novel turned out to be a really fascinating love story, a story that evolved into an international adventure in a country savaged by war and threatened with extinction by an outbreak of an unknown and deadly disease.
From first glance I knew I would love Peter Koss and by the end of the first chapter I absolutely adored him, if only all love could be so innocent and so matter a fact. His in your face just do it attitude would probably solve 50% of the relationship troubles people experience. Lola was a woman who took her hard beginnings and used them as her inspiration to do better. A strong woman who was smart enough to do whatever it took to ensure she wouldn't remain a victim forever. I will admit I wanted to choke her a time or two but her personality made for exciting reading and she finally got it together even if it took 5 years.
Personally I think readers will be surprised and thrilled by the evolution of this novel as a collegiate romance turns into a love of a life time.

Disappointed....
6 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback
I bought this book because it got good reviews, and I am totally disappointed. The relationship between Koss and Lola was too fast and there was no romance leading up to them confessing their love for one another. The book did get interesting when Koss and Lola went abroad, which added suspense to the novel. The love scenes were too graphic and vulgar. This is my first book by Ms. Holcomb, and I hope it won't be my last.
