Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah TitleMy rating: 3 of 5 stars, I liked it.
This was a short and sweet novella about research librarian turned erotic romance author, Helen, and her co-worker/best friend, historian Henry.
Helen finally gets a rejection letter with a reason for the rejection, and a suggestion for fixing her novel. Turns out Helen's story is great, except her sex scenes are boring. So she decides to do what she does best and research writing a good sex scene.
She's so into her research she doesn't notice Henry reading over her shoulder. Then Henry offers to help Helen with some one on one research.
It was quite short, and I wish it had been fleshed (no pun intended) out a bit more. The characters moved so quickly and suddenly I was 95% through the book and I never really felt like I got to know them. Henry's side-plot felt a little bit shoe-horned in there, just to give the story a conflict that the characters have to overcome. Despite that, it was a fun read and I found myself amused a lot.
Even though the main character was trying to write erotic romance, there was very little detail into her "research" with Henry, making it the cleanest "erotic romance" I have ever read, haha.
