About That Fling

Average rating4
As the top PR person for the Belmont Health System, bright, beautiful Jenna McArthur knows how to spin bad news and make it sound good. But when her adorable Aunt Gertie--a secret romance writer--urges Jenna to embrace her wild side, Jenna tumbles into bed with Adam Thomas, a guy she's just met, for a fun and fantastic one-night stand. Too bad Adam is the one guy who's totally off-limits. There aren't enough clever words in the world to spin the story in a way that won't wreck Jenna's closest friendship or destroy her job. With the irresistible Adam always around her at work, wearing an aura of temptation like a fabulous cologne, Jenna has to hold tight to her senses to avoid falling for him. Will he take her to the heights of pleasure again--or will their attraction destroy everything she's worked for?

Fenske has a unique voice that combines screwball farce with thoughtful character-driven romance. Sometimes those parts don't mix well together, so you have scenes like Jenna earnestly explaining why she can't start a relationship the handsome, witty, sexy guy with whom she had a one-night stand, while the two of them are stuck in a private peep show room of an “adult pleasure” store. And the meddlesome elderly aunt who writes bestselling erotica is a character I could have lived without (we get it, old people + sex = hilarity. As I rapidly approach that age myself I find it less and less sidesplitting.) However, Fenske raises some interesting issues about how relationships begin and end, and whether people are capable of true change. I just wish she had done so with fewer dick pic jokes.
