Josh is terrific at making other people's fantasies come true at his sex club, Mavericks, and he plans to bring that same energy to his new club on the other side of the country. He can see the attraction between his coworkers Beth and Oliver and decides that getting them together will be his last deed before leaving town. Never mind that Josh has his own feelings for Beth and Oliver, who are only in favor of this endeavor as long as Josh is part of the package. Everyone brings their own baggage to this new dynamic, however, and Josh keeps insisting that he is hitting the road. Can Josh, Oliver, and Beth find a way to keep their new relationship alive, or will it falter before it gets started?
VERDICT An erotic romp framed by a sex club called Mavericks is a perfect setting for d'Abo's latest (after Pulled Long). The author's smart tone brings these characters to life, and there is enough action (in and out of bed) to make it an enjoyable read. Recommended for libraries that support erotic collections.
