    Book three of The Science of Temptation

    1 sexy switch + 1 nerdy newbie = a master class in seduction

    After several years as a submissive, psychology lecturer Beth is eager to experience being on the other end of the whip for a change. When she meets sweet but socially awkward Ed at a party, it's obvious the aerospace engineer is interestedand obvious he's way too vanilla.

    When tracking down a friend lands him in a BDSM club, Ed's eyes are opened to a whole other worldand a whole other side of Beth. Then Beth's former Master shows up, and Ed agrees to play along as her sub in exchange for a real date. The biggest surprise of the evening? How much he enjoys letting her take control

    Beth's ex makes it clear he wants her back, but she needs more from a relationship than he can offerand not just the freedom to explore her switch side. At first Ed is just an enthusiastic student. But the more she gets to know him, in and out of the bedroom, the more Beth wonders if he's everything she desires

    Includes Solving for X, an all-new Science of Temptation bonus scene

    Delphine Dryden

    After earning two graduate degrees, practicing law awhile, and then working for the public school system for over ten years, I finally got a clue. I tossed all that aside and started doing what I should have been doing all along, writing novels! In hindsight I could see the decision was a no-brainer.Because which sounds like more fun? Being a lawyer/special educator/reading specialist/educational diagnostician...or writing spicy romances?I'm fortunate to have two wonderful, absurdly precocious children and two delightful if occasionally disobedient mutts. My family and I are all Texas natives, and reside in unapologetic suburban bliss near Houston.

      This was a 2+ stars book with a half star for showing us what the club Ivan goes to is like. The story was... okay. It felt incomplete, somewhat rushed, and did not provide anywhere near the level of enjoyment as the first book in series. Is the book on scribd missing a chapter or two?

      The bonus short story for Cali and Ivan also didn't do anything for me.
