Summary:

It’s “Look, but don’t touch.” Until the object of Hailey’s fantasies catches her looking and demands she touch him. Everywhere.

Hailey Jennison is smart, funny and, unfortunately, stacked like a blonde brick house. She’s well aware the impact her looks have on the male gender, and she hates it. Socially awkward, she keeps to a safe, boring routine, meeting friends once a week for dinner, some laughs, and entertainment.

Entertainment comes in the form of a little harmless voyeurism, watching the living, breathing sex god across the quad parade around his apartment half-naked. Hailey watches and yearns, indulging in this weekly fantasy that almost—but not quite—satisfies her every desire.

When Gage catches Hailey in the act of ogling him, he gives her a choice—go out with him, or he’ll call the cops. But he has no intention of calling the law down on every man’s wet dream. For he’s been watching her, as well. And he has plans to fulfill her naughty fantasies.

Product Warnings: this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, and a man named “Mr. Tool”.

The Review:

Marie Harte’s Enjoying the Show is a deliciously steamy and fun novella with a surprising amount of depth.

Hailey Jennison and Gage Warren are wonderfully flawed characters whose imperfections make them delightfully realistic and extremely likable. Hailey is smart and sexy but full of self-doubts and insecurities. Gage is confident and successful but relationship challenged. Will this couple discover there is more to their newfound relationship than smokin’ hot sex?

Ms. Harte packs a lot of substance Enjoying the Show. Gage’s relationship with his twin brothers and mother is laugh out loud funny and endearing. It also provides a great deal of insight into his character. Equally enjoyable are Hailey’s interactions with her friends.

Enjoying the Show by Marie Harte is an entertaining romance with a charming cast of characters. Gage and Hailey’s romance is sweet and sexy with a few unexpected twists and turns on their way to happily ever after. A quick read that I highly recommend.
