Ms. Fox has done it again. She delivered saucy, sexy and emotional in short sweet fashion. The Hands On series is full of heat, but has a great deal of heart as well. My one peeve with this series is the serial format. I loved the story but in order to get the full experience, I wish Dani and Jack's journey had been one novel. ( )

My Series Review:

It’s not every day you walk into your local coffee shop and a few hours later your high school crush is asking you over for a booty call.

Jack Rider has a reputation as being a lady’s man, and why shouldn’t he? He’s panty dropping sexy and an accomplished pro football player. If the press is to be believed, he’s bedded a good portion of the women in the US and makes no apologies for having done so. Oh, Jack’s had his fun, to be sure, but when he’s unexpectedly and surprisingly approached by his old high school crush, Danielle Lang, he starts to think his definition of fun might be a tad bit off the mark.

Danielle Lang has a shiny new advanced degree, a new job that starts soon, and a deep-seated fear of what that job entails. In theory, Danielle understands the psychology of sex but teaching a classroom full of college freshmen about something she has zero practical knowledge of, is terrifying. Yeah, Danielle is a newly licensed counselor about to teach a class on sex and she’s a virgin. Between all the studying, the extra studying, and the lack of a social life, Danielle didn’t have much time for dating and she’s not quite the one-stand type. When her best-friend comes up with a plan to contract a sexual partner for a couple weeks, Danielle thinks the idea is insane, and then, Jack Rider walks back into her life.

Jack can’t believe his luck. Danielle is intelligent, kind, sexy as hell, and more than willing to let Jack teach her everything he knows. Danielle expects the lessons to be short, somewhat clinical, and to the point, but Jack turns out to be a patient man with more to offer than just a hot body. He’s a dirty talker with a vivid imagination and more than a little interest in Danielle’s education. While the two agreed to two weeks and nothing more, turns out, each is far more than the other bargained for. Not wanting to look a total schmuck, both Jack and Danielle keep their true feelings to themselves until it is damn-near too late.

The Bottom Line: The Hands On series is so much more than just a series of hot, sweaty sex scenes!! Don’t get me wrong, there’s A LOT of hot, sweaty sex scenes but they aren’t gratuitous at all. There’s a real story mixed in here and I quite liked both Danielle and Jack. They get to know each other so well in such a short amount of time and it is in more than just a sexual manner. Each brings out the best in the other which makes the eventual HEA so very, very sweet!! If you’re looking for a super-quick, sexy read, I am all about recommending Cathryn Fox’s Hands On series. ( )
