February 28, 2011
In this sizzling story of opposites attracting, Eden Anderson, needing a temporary place to stay while her home is renovated, arrives at her brother's home in L.A. only to find his best friend, Jansen McKnight, house-sitting. Her childhood nemesis is now a devastatingly attractive cop who declares her "all grown up" and bets he can seduce her in two weeks. Their passion is intense, but can vegetarian, yoga-loving Eden overcome her distaste for Jansen's career—and his beloved handgun—to have a future with him? Day (What Love Tastes Like) knows her audience will willingly sacrifice plot and character development for this prolonged sex romp.

When Eden moves back to California from Washington, D.C., she decides to live with her brother while her new condo is being repaired. Tired and exhausted from a long drive, she is greeted not by her older brother but by a deliciously desirable man with a gun. The stranger turns out not to be a stranger. He is her brothers best friend and Edens childhood nemesis. Jansen was a definite heartthrob in high school, and now he is an even finer example of manhood. With his usual bravado, he assures her that in two weeks they will be more than roommates. Even though she is attracted to the outside package, how can an antiviolence, antigun vegetarian get along with a policeman with a fondness for firearms and meat? As the two act on their feelings, Eden must decide whether her New Age philosophy can accommodate a possessive, gun-toting man of the law. Days sensuous African American romance offers new proof of the old saying, Opposites attract.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
