Summary: Not the Lori Foster I once loved
Review: This book includes two stories. I mainly read it because of the author of the first story, Tantalizing by Lori Foster. I became a big fan of Foster after reading 'Wild' and 'Say No to Joe?'. That being said, I was a bit disappointed by this story. I don't think that 'Tantalizing' had the humor, smarts, or story line that Foster has in her other books. The characters weren't at all developed and the story itself was pretty weak. Perhaps my standards were too high because I enjoyed her other books so much.

A brief overview of Tantalizing:
This is the story of a sheltered sister, Josie, who's, you guessed it, parents are no longer alive. Her big sis, Susan, takes care of her, which includes setting her up on blind dates. One man she'd never set her up with is Nick, but when Nick stands in for the Bob, the actual date, Josie falls hard, fast.

In the other story, 'My Lips Are Sealed,' Julie Elizabeth Leto doesn't impress me much. Again, there is a lack of a storyline with a very predicatble ending. The characters are weak and overall the story is just okay.

A brief overview of My Lips Are Sealed:
Ex-party girl Lacey has been concentrating on her career for 4 years and needs a weekend to go wild. She meets Seth and wonders if her weekend fling can remain just that.

Overall, if there's something else on the bookshelf that you think you might like, don't bother picking this one up. On the other hand, if you're looking for some steamy scenes and a short story for the beach, Lip Service may be just what you're looking for.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Need a quick book to read?
Review: This is a good book when you are looking for a quick read without a lot of depth. The book has 2 short stories that are entertaining. Lori Foster's story I believe is from 1999. She has definately improved with time. Even so, sometimes I am not looking for deep literature and this fit the bill.
