Oh, dudes, I told myself I wasn’t going to geek out over the reviews of my book (Skin to Skin, out on Aug. 17, yo!), but as soon as I checked out this link, I just totally lost my shit. Like, I had zero dignity left. It was embarrassing. Tim was all, “Can you remember this feeling when you’re down and depressed and telling yourself you suck?” Whatevs. It’s still a happy day.

The summer seems to drag on, the heat unbearable. Leilani is dead set on gaining the attention of her new neighbor who seems to avoid her at every turn. After all, she’s paraded up and down the street in her sexiest next-to-nothing clothes while she walks another neighbor’s dog. That should have gotten his attention but didn’t. Even the drastic measure of bending over and giving him a peek of her pink thong didn’t work. What is it with this guy anyway?

Oliver hasn’t missed one of Leilani’s tricks. In fact, he’d give anything to strip those few scraps of clothes off her body and get to know her better. Unfortunately, his thigh wound is giving him fits. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now he’s on disability leave from the police department while he heals. He has plenty of time to watch his sexy next-door neighbor go through her antics to gain his attention.

When Leilani takes drastic measures and pushes the issue, Oliver has no choice but to react. He no longer has the option of sitting back and watching, wishing she was his. The man is clever, though. She took the first step and now he’ll take the final one.

Dionne Galace has written a wonderfully funny and emotionally charged addition to the MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S STEAM series with her SKIN TO SKIN offering. As the reader, you sit back and watch these two characters as they assess one another. It’s almost like watching two combatants in an arena. You wait for one of them to make that pivotal move that’ll send them into physical combat. This one is definitely worth the wait.

SKIN TO SKIN is a must read and a keeper.

Thanks to Nickie Langdon for the very eloquent review. If you don’t believe me, you can check it out here. Heh.
