Sinfully Sexy [Mass Market Paperback]

Chloe Sinclair is the manager of KTEX TV in El Paso, Texas. She has always believed herself to be smart, but plain looking.

When he entered KTEX TV, he had intended to do the same. But all bets are off when he finds the sexy lady who had disappeared on him the night before. By a mix-up, people thought he was Trey Tanner, one of his ex-employees. When Chloe makes known what she things of Mr. Sterling Prescott, he decides to let everyone keep thinking his name is Trey. For Chloe, he decides to actually save the station, instead of taking it over. Chloe and "Trey" must work together and create a reality show to bring in heavy advertising dollars quickly.

***** There is more going on than what I state in that synopsis. But to give you more would ruin some delightfully wicked plots and scenes. So I won't. Suffice it to say that Chloe and Sterling are a perfect match. Recommended for ladies who enjoy some humor with their modern day romances.

Now that readers have seen Kate and Chloe meet their equals, it is time to see Julia meet her own. Be on the look out for the last of this trilogy titled "Simply Sexy", due for release Nov. 2005. *****

The lastest insallment of Ms. Lee's "Sexy" series is just as much fun if not more than the first. This is Chloe's story and she has finally met her match when she tangles with corporate raider Sterling Prescot. They literally run into each other on the first meeting and the sparks fly. She dosen't know who he is and he has no idea who she is. Their worlds are about to collide again in a professional manner, and sweet, simple, and sensible Chloe takes a backseat to sexy, minx Chloe.

Sterling has come to El Paso for one reason and one reason only. Take over KTEX T.V. and get back home with his brother Ben before the ink drys on the sales agreement. Well, so much for best laid plans. Before he knows it he has been crashed into by a sexy little lady who wants him to kiss her just because. She has no idea who he is and that's a turn on for him. This should not be a problem except for the fact that she ran out on him when the kiss was just starting to get interesting, and she has now shown up in a meeting regarding the struggling station. Before he knows it, his plans have changed from buying the station to helping the station. That's not all he is about to star as "the catch" for a reality T.V. show and he wants Chloe to be one of "the roses". Why is this important you ask? Well, because Chloe is turning out to have an amazing affect on him, and he wants to win her for himself. Now he just needs to prove to Chloe that he's there for the long haul.

This was a great story. Ms. Lee's take on today's rage of reality T.V. is great. Old friends make a return and the chemistry between Chloe and Sterling is great. It's worth it in the end when they finally get together. This story also offered a great sneak peek at Julia's story regarding Sterling's brother Ben. I can't wait for the next and final book in the series. This is a read that I highly recommend.

This is the second book I have read in the series and by this author. I previously read "Suddenly Sexy" and I think I have pegged the problem with this author. There is a lot of story in one book, except it is not all handled in a manner that there is a satisfying conclusion to all the drama.

In this story alone there were elements of Chloe having trouble with self-esteem due to her dead grandmother, having issues with men due to her father leaving her, having issues with sex due to her first time being with a douchebag who didn't even call her back. Then Sterling had issues with lying about his identity, his awful sister, his brother drama, being a savvy businessman, being the bachelor, among other things.

I just feel that if you are going to introduce so much into the story, you should handle all that in a satisfying way. Chloe's issues with her grandmother weren't dealt with at all. The fact that she was raised being told she was lucky that she was
"plain" and how she always applied that to herself, was pretty much ignored.

Chloe's issues with her father were resolved in one conversation. I mean this is a woman who let her father move in after his heart attack when the man left her as a baby. His excuse that he thought she'd be better off with her grandmother after her mother died. Seriously? That counts as an appropriate resolution?

Sterling just gave his sister a hug after she almost cost him his relationship with Chloe.

The chemistry between Sterling and Chloe was great. I read their story simply because of the excerpt in suddenly sexy about their encounter in the bathroom. They had good chemistry but I didn't feel as if it was developed and nurtured enough to call it love by the time they decided they were in love with each other.

I think the characters were definitely interesting but the attention paid to the various elements of the plot introduced was not good enough. I think either the book needed to be longer or there needed to be less issues to manage.

So overall a 3. I would give it a 3.5 because I really did enjoy it in some part but on the whole it left me dissatisfied as a reader.
