Show and Tell

Trinity Green is restless. Six months ago, she eloped with Harper and while she enjoys married life, it isn't the earth-shattering sensation she thought it would be. Coming home early from her best friend's baby shower, Trinity suddenly finds out why. Her husband is in the shower and he is not alone. One nasty and uncomfortable scene later, Trinity Green no longer considers herself married. Unable to stay in the bed she and her husband shared, Trinity checks into a hotel for the night. Tired of being the pretty perfect girl everyone knows and expects, Trinity vows to begin living her life as she wants. And right then she wants to touch herself. Scott Sinclair has been alone for a few years and while women like him, his life revolves around work and his college-aged daughters. Checking into the hotel because of an early morning flight, Scott hears the feminine moans through the electrical outlet in his hotel room. The woman's sighs of pleasure are subtle but intoxicating. Knowing he shouldn't be listening to something so intimate, he can't help himself and moves closer to the sound. Perceptive enough to identify he is perverted for listening, Scott realizes that the woman is alone. Alone and in charge of her own pleasure. Tired of a lifetime of controlling his impulses, Scott does the one thing guaranteed to either get him arrested or get him off. He goes next door with the intent of asking this mystery woman to let him watch. With one impulsive act on Scott's part, a relationship between he and Trinity develops, albeit a secretive one. Trinity has yet to tell Scott her name and while Scott at first agrees, he later regrets this decision and does his best to get "Jezebel" to relinquish the last thing that keeps them strangers. Fantasy plays a part in their lives and each relishes the time they spend together. When Scott goes to a business meeting and comes face-to-face with his Jezebel, he smiles, knowing that he now has her where he wants her. And he wants her with every ounce of his being. Convincing her presents a greater challenge. Trinity was introduced in The Fortune Hunter, also by Jasmine Haynes, as the best friend of Faith. Her persona was that of a beautiful, calorie-counting, perfectly groomed Barbie doll. She ate nothing she wasn't supposed to and acted as perfectly as she could. In Show and Tell, the Trinity Green that I knew existed was let out of her prison of perfection and if I could live half as gregariously through her, I would. She threw off her shackles of flawlessness and learned to live. Did she make mistakes? Yes. Could she have done things differently? Yes. Did she become the woman who learned to live life to the fullest and take chances? Yes, she did. Scott Sinclair was the male equivalent of Trinity. He had regrets about his life and wanted to throw caution to the wind with his relationship with "Jezebel". I believe he grew as a person as well. I know that each complemented the other and before they could understan

Trinity Green was everything everyone else wanted her to be. Tall, thin, blonde, the perfect prim and proper wife. The day she walked in on her husband and his lover in their shower was the day Trinity would throw caution to the wind and get what SHE desired. She craved hot steamy passion, and she was just about to see what it would be like to be the wanton risqué woman she fantasized about. It was as easy as answering the knocking on a door. Scott Sinclair heard the woman in the room next to him, lust over came thought and he knocked on the door and asked her one question that would bring on a dramatic chain of delicious lusty events; Can I watch you? No names were traded that night, he left a business card for her the next morning and now he just had to wait for her call. Trinity wanted more of the uninhabited feelings so she brazenly initiated the contact. He was 15 years her senior, but she could not hide her attraction for him. And what contact it was, steamy voice mails, secret meetings, and wild out of her mind orgasms. She didn't have to be the prim daddy's girl for Scott, she could be who she wanted, Jezebel. When time goes by and Scott still doesn't know her real name, a business meeting makes everything fall into place; oh and then there's a little drama with someone trying to blackmail them. Trinity is hiding, she needs everything he can offer, but she needs to earn her own independence... does that leave room for a little tantalizing dessert named Scott Sinclair? I've said this once and I'll say it again, Jasmine Haynes has a way with setting the readers mind and visual parts of the brain on FIRE! Her books are erotic, romantic and with this one her character throws everything caution to the wind! It was such an outright fantasy come to life, that I think a lot of women could relate to. Have you ever wanted to pretend to be someone you're not, and enjoy the most titillating night of your life? How would it feel to have a stranger watch you pleasure yourself? Find out how Trinity Green feels the moment tall, dark and handsome comes knocking on her hotel door by picking up a copy of Show and Tell. 5 Hearts Contact Jasmine: www.skullybuzz.com

Trinity Green has always behaved prim and proper in public, but dreams of wild dirty passion. She never expects to find hot sex since Harper, her husband of six months, is a stick in the mud except on the golf course. At least that is what she thought until she finds him doing to another woman what she fantasized he do to her. Trinity decides it is time to stop pleasing everyone else, an impossible chore, and begin pleasing herself; starting with dumping her cheating spouse. When she meets business executive divorcee Scott Sinclair, Trinity decides he is the one to show her the carnal pleasures in life. They have a heated affair that he wants to continue, but Trinity has demands too. As they venture into dicey trysts, they endanger their respective jobs and lay bare their families to scandals, but neither can stop the obsession which increases the risks. This is an entertaining heated contemporary romance starring two victims of marriage; whereas her spouse cheated; his left. The promiscuous behavior between the lead couple, strangers in the night in which lovemaking started with a glance in a hotel, sends a bad message. Still fans will enjoy Scott and Trinity finding passion and love with each other in this erotic second chance at love. Harriet Klausner

Catching her husband of only six months in the midst of cheating on her strikes a huge blow to Trinity Green's self-esteem, forcing her to re-examine the way she has lived her life until now. While his infidelity is initially devastating, it serves as the push she needs to start really living instead of denying herself every genuine or sensual experience in fear it will make her seem less `perfect'. Perfection isn't all it turns out to be, as she discovers. Enter Scott Sinclair. A little exhibitionism and anonymous sex with the sexy older man seems just what the doctor ordered. Without the burden of her name between them, Trinity is free to become the woman she has long stifled deep inside. But with every tryst, Scott realizes more and more that he needs this mystery woman in his life on a more permanent basis. What will it take to convince his commitment-skittish lover to open up and let him into her life for good, especially when she has yet to tell him her real name? After reading Jasmine Hayne's novel The Fortune Hunter, I was primed and ready for its sequel, Show and Tell. Imagine my utter delight when I had the chance to review this very book! Show and Tell picks up the story approximately six months after the previous book ends, with Trinity Green now married and living with her husband. Of course, that situation changes almost immediately when she discovers his torrid affair with another woman and wastes no time kicking the louse out. Thus begins Trinity's soul-searching. She realizes her life until now has been a sham, that her fear of being viewed as less than perfect has caused her to miss out on the best things that life has to offer. Her resolve to change that situation begins that very night, with some rather surprising and definitely delicious results. Trinity's transformation is just plain inspiring. Instead of dwelling on her pain, this woman takes what is the worst moment of her life and learns from it, using it to grow as a person in every way that counts. She doesn't limit herself to simple personal and romantic growth - the changes she undergoes propel her to strive for professional success as well. While far from perfect, Scott is certainly the perfect man to aid Trinity in her quest. More than that, he soon proves himself the perfect man for her as he shows her again and again that he loves her for herself - every little flaw, every idiosyncrasy. From the moment they meet, he is enamored of Trinity, and his adoration of her grows into full-fledged love before either of them know what hit them. He is infinitely patient with her, giving her the time and space she requires even as his own heart is begging to rush things, to claim her for his own. Of course, like I said - he isn't perfect and he definitely makes some mistakes along the way. But oh, how he does make up for them!!! *shivers* Show and Tell is a book that proves once again that Jasmine Haynes is an indisputably talented romantic autho
