Promotions director Reese Regan isn’t a sex goddess and doesn’t want
to be. But the job of her dreams requires enrollment in the renowned Sex
Goddess 101. To avoid a trip to the unemployment line, Reese must pass the
program and become Chicago’s next seductress—or at least fake it convincingly.
Her best friend, the ruggedly sexy contractor Ben Hawk, helps her “fake” her
way through the program, and the heat between them flares. When trust is broken
and secrets are revealed, it appears they’ve traded years-long friendship for
temporary passion. Will faking something so important cost them their chance at
something real?
Excerpt:
Ben
stifled a grin. “Please tell me she’s making you burn your bras.” He signaled
to the door with his thumb. “I think I have some lighter fluid at the house.”
“What?
Of course she’s not.” She scowled. “Cripes. I hope not.”
Ben’s
eyes dropped south for a second. “You know, bras are a sign of repression.”
She
rolled her eyes. “Stop being a dork, and read the letter.”
Ben
frowned. “You’re taking this program more seriously than I thought you would.”
Reese
snorted. “No, I’ve just gotten really good at faking it.”
“The
new outfit doesn’t look fake. Or the makeup.” He crossed his arms, realizing
what had been bothering him since she walked in the door. “I thought you hated
contacts. Where are your glasses?”
She
waved a hand dismissively. “Just read it.”
Say
goodbye to your panties. For the next week, you’ll be going commando, forcing
your mind to acknowledge the parts of your body too often left as an
afterthought.
He
grunted. “No wonder my guys want their wives to sign up.”
“Spoken
like a true male. Foregoing underwear isn’t sexy, it’s…it’s…unsanitary.”
He
shook his head. “It’s sexy.”
“What
if I’m doing yard work?”
“Sexy.”
She
crossed her arms. “Or I’m working out?”
“Still
sexy.”
Reese
leaned forward. “Or want to wear a skirt?”
Ben
narrowed his eyes. “Now you’re just tormenting me.”

SLAVE's Review:
What started out as a slow and tedious
story actually tuned out to be a great read. Accidental Goddess, by Lexi Ryan
turned out to be a relaxing tale about (pretty much) a woman coming of age or
actually coming to grips with her feminine wiles and taking control of her life
in all aspects. The character build up and story flow stayed perfectly in
sync and keeps the reader entertained.
This story comes across as a safe read with a certain reality and passion that works great for the romance, unregistered love for self and those closest to you.
