Summary: NOT GOOD, NOT SEXY
Comment: The way the back of the book read, I thought this would be an amusing, strong romantic comedy. NOT!!! By the end of the second chapter, Chloe and Rocco were in bed together (I did not see any chemistry between them, and the sex scenes were really boring and stale. If I am going to read about it, I want it to be stimulating and well written, these were basic slam bam scenes where they describe her parts with the "C" word. Not a big fan of that word.
I kept reading, because I have really enjoyed Susan Johnson in the past and I knew that somewhere that I would like the characters. Never found that, and wish I hadn't wasted my money. They make no bones about the fact that Chloe likes sex, and she apparently can not go more than 2 days without it.
She has sex w/another guy named Colin, (also no chemisty, just a drunk bar p/u of a cute guy)
I didn't think the characters were good, I did not think this was well written. I read erotica, and this was not that!! If that is what you are looking for, get the Black Lace series.
If you are looking for a romance, you will hate this. They guy ends up with the girl, but I didn't think much of him, and I thought she would be as faithful to him as an alley cat. If you read the book you will see why. If you don't read it, consider it time well spent!!

Summary: ODE TO A REAL WOMAN-- I SYMPATHIZED AND IDENTIFIED
Comment: I actually read all of the customer reviews on here before I read the book, and if I had listened, I would have missed a really good book!! The plot is not stale or flat, its real and simple. Girl meets guy. Girl and guy have great sex. Guy reveals he has issues. Girl lets guy go. Girl attempts to move on. Guy resolves issues and subverts his substitute. Guy begs for another chance. Girl realizes that being happy is what's important. Obviously, the reviewers have never met a guy with a crazy ex that doesn't know the meaning of the words "restraining order" yet. KEEP LIVING! It is my opinion that the book is fresh and exciting. The reason the main characters are single is not because they are defective and neurotic, they just haven't found the person they want to share their lives with. There was plenty of romance. The reason her hair is hot pink is simple: She is a natural white haired blonde who tinted it red. (Did the other reviewer actually read the book?!!!) What there was not, was a lot of ridiculous psycho-babble about abandoned children, divorcees, and inferiority complexes that require medical help not a love-hate relationship with some equally neurotic person who analyzes everything to death. The sex is just plain good. What there was not, was a repressed virgin secretly into kink (ie Lori Foster), on going orgies (ie Thea Devine), or mixed threesomes (ie Emma Holly). Those looking for more depth should consult a sex manual or get an actual sex life. What it does have is an independent heroine who lives out every girl's fantasy of mr. right being the sexy guy you had the nerve to talk to in the elevator! Throw in the fling with the equally sexy Colin look-a-like and Famous Amos cookies, and we are ready to go. REAL WOMEN OF THE WORLD UNITE!

Summary: Frigid Pink...
Comment: I so did not feel this novel. Hot Pink fizzles out before the heat even begins. Character and story development are wooden, the dialogue is corny, the romance is absent and the so-called erotic scenes lack realism and depth. Chloe and Rocco are two of the most annoying protagonists ever written. It would've been interesting and steamy to read about the relationship between an eccentric, pink-haired graphic designer and her engaged lover, but the story falls short in so many levels. Rocco's relationship with his fiancee is ridiculous. I marveled at the aforementioned subplot's banality. This novel should've been titled Frigid Pink. Susan Johnson should stick to writing historical romance novels. I strongly suggest you skip this book.
