'Nina Killham's first novel is a devilish delight... sexy, hilarious, and not to be missed' (Washington Post )
Product Description
As one of the nation’s favourite romantic novelists, Jack Carter knows romance only too well. But what he really wants now, after his traumatic divorce, is romance in his personal life. Recently he's realised that this can only mean one thing: true love waits.
Enter Molly Desire – fully paid-up sexaholic, she views lodging in Jack’s house as a necessary evil until she gets a place of her own. But surprisingly, the chaste Jack doesn’t seem to inspire her with lust – instead, with an ambition to write her own racy romances – and suddenly stiff competition starts to rock the roost...

Mounting Desire - romantic and novel,
By shf.yax (London England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mounting Desire (Little Black Dress) (Paperback)
This is a clever, funny and sharp book, from the author of the wonderful 'How To Cook A Tart'. Nina Killham is very successful at getting into the mind of a (male) romantic novelist, with issues of his own. Jack Carter, the central character, is searching for the perfect woman while making a living writing steamy romantic page-turners in the classic style. Killham makes good use of the genre without mocking it, creating as she does a hilarious yarn with a cast of crisply-drawn characters. Recommended and some!

Not a romance, nor even good chick lit,
By MD (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mounting Desire (Little Black Dress) (Paperback)
This book pretends to be a romance, and a satire, but it fails badly. The hero is a romance novelist who writes pretty bad romances, judging from all the quotes. The heroine sleeps with everyone indiscriminately. The hero is a "born-again" virgin, who behaves very arrogantly to all women ("they are all sluts", even if he doesn't say so directly). He never learns. He and she are together very few times in the book, and I don't see what would attract them to each other. Towards the end of the book, he ends up in bed with a prostitute (really!). It was definitely unromantic. The jokes weren't funny, either - I want to like my characters, even if I laugh at them, and both of them are pretty unlikable.

Disappointing,
By tigersfan (Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mounting Desire (Little Black Dress) (Paperback)
I had read the synopsis of this in the back of another Little Black Dress book, and thought it looked entertaining. The book itself was rather diappointing, the hero seemed immature and arrogant while the heroine was just easy and very one dimensional.
