Finn’s review of Hide and Seek by Alyssa Brooks
Erotic romance released by Berkley Trade on 4 Dec 07

Remember playing hide and seek as a kid?  Well, Maxim Cox and Elisa Cross sure know how to play hide and seek with their feelings.  College lab partners who had crushes on each other, but, guess what, neither of them knew it. Jump several years into the future and Elisa is a porn star?

At least that’s what the tabloids say. Maxim can’t believe it so he goes and looks for Elisa. She is hiding out in a cabin in Aspen, determined to learn to live without a man. What Maxim sees through the window when he arrives gets him hard.

Hide and Seek takes place inside that cabin in Aspen, where Maxim Cox (Elisa says he is named appropriately) and Elisa Cross learn to be honest with one another. There is some romping good sex too!

It is really good to see a man who is considered a playboy squirm. Elisa makes Maxim work for the pleasure she can give him. But in return Maxim makes her beg for more. In the end it’s all about honesty between these two.

Grade: A

From the back cover:

     Another sexy tale from a sultry new voice in erotic romance.

     Confident, freewheeling Maxim Cox has been thinking lately that something’s been missing in his life. Then he sees his old college crush facing scandal in a tabloid and figures it out; it’s Elisa Cross, the one who got away. Now he’ll do anything it takes to have Elisa, in every way. To escape the scandal, Elisa has sworn off men and holed herself up in a cabin miles from anywhere. So when Maxim appears at her door in the middle of a snowstorm, she can’t believe it. She swore she’d never give in to his devilish good looks, but the raging storm and her raging desires make him impossible to refuse. But Elisa’s determined to keep the upper hand-and arranges a game of Hide and Seek. And if Maxim can play by her rules and find her, he can have her-all of her.
