Too Much Fun!

First of all I'm not sure karenml read this book as every reference beginning with page one refers to the story taking place in TEXAS, not California, duh.Secondly. Read This Book. I can't recommend it highly enough. I haven't read anything so kick[ing] in years. Can't wait for more of Ms. Kent's most excellent portrayal of city girls!

Hot, hilarious and well written

Wow! This was the first book I've read by Alison Kent and I just loved it! Leo the lawyer and entrepreneur Macy Webb have incredibly hot chemistry. His piercing looks and her sarcastic wit get the sparks flying just about from page one. Research for her company, gIRL gEAR, throw them together for an intimate scavenger hunt that pushes the envelope. He doesn't understand why he's drawn to someone so...so...whacked! And will Macy ever come up with a lawyer joke that Leo HASN'T heard? This is a great read. You won't be disappointed. (And I can't wait for more of Alison Kent's gIRL gEAR series!)

When opposites clash -- Very highly recommended

Macy Webb is a good time girl more interested in partying today than worrying about tomorrow. Her arrested adulthood looks like Peter Pan syndrome as she thrives on mayhem and chaos for the creative spark that gives her work dazzle. Even her work is really play as she ponders editorial content and design for the interactive e-commerce Web site and mail order catalog gIRL-gEAR, iNC. wearing flannel pajamas in her living room "office." She uses her friends on "game night" to test fun and advice columns for the Web site. Her latest game is an adult scavenger hunt that leads to unexpected results.Leo Redding accompanies his friend after their soccer match, not realizing what he's getting himself into. Participation is mandatory from all inside the loft of game night. The starch on his collar leaves Macy questioning how he can possibly play her game, but play he does with explosive results. A sizzling passion ignites as they become partners competing against each other in the scavenger hunt. Macy doesn't fit his preferred type, so Leo persuades himself he's only responding to the mystery of the unknown. Her wild child looks and playful approach to life clash with his lawyerly, logical view of the world. Yet Leo is irresistibly drawn into the chaos of her life, even as he struggles against it.Alison Kent captures the unique entanglements facing modern women in ALL TIED UP. With the sexual revolution has come permission to indulge one's fantasies, to pursue those delightfully erotic relationships that titillate and please. Unfortunately, demands on time by career and other concerns make pursuing the emotional sides of those relationships even more challenging than ever before; a conundrum that Kent exploits with delightful results. Both the plot and subplot explore sexual relationships and the accompanying emotional ramifications with entertaining flair. Extremely erotic and daring, while tasteful and tantalizing, with a marvelously subtle subtext of emotional complications, ALL TIED UP comes very highly recommended.

amusing look at opposites

Macy Webb enjoys partying so much she has made it an intricate part of her work as content editor at e-commerce and mail order catalog gIRL-gEAR, Inc. To help her accurately write her web page column she drafts her friends, employing them in her latest wild idea. Her newest concept is an adult scavenger hunt. Following a soccer game, Leo Redding joins a friend visiting Macy's loft on the night of the scavenger hunt. He is a buttoned down attorney so Macy thinks he will either stiffen up like a corpse or go home running for cover. Instead, Leo competes with Macy in a competition that is more than just a game as the stakes are a lifetime of happiness. Alison Kent provides an amusing look at opposites united by passion that on the surface appears to not be enough to forge anything permanent. The story line of ALL TIED UP engages the audience as Macy and Leo struggle with their emotions and their sexual desires becaus they both know the other is wrong for them. Though happily ever after still looks doubtful in spite of the ending, readers will enjoy Ms. Kent's contemporary look at the relationships of sex and Peter(ette) Pan as well as future books in the miniseries.Harriet Klausner
