Product Description

Can you fall in love in thirteen hours?

It's her birthday but lonely workaholic Dana Watts is at the office late, drafting a proposal. The very last interruption she expects comes in the form of the most beautiful breasts she has ever seen. These belong to an incredibly hot woman, who is standing in front of her, stripping to music.

Laurel Stanley performs strip-o-grams to pay her way through school. She has never encountered a more ungrateful recipient than Dana. The uptight project manager makes it clear that she is furious to be distracted from her work by the "gift" a colleague sent and equally appalled by Laurel's occupation.

After Dana is rude and insulting, and insists on escorting Laurel from the building, the two women take an elevator ride that changes everything. Stuck with each other for thirteen long hours after the elevator breaks down, they discover how wrong first impressions can be and how right two strangers can feel together.

Can everything change in less than a day? Dana and Laurel set out to discover if their passionate elevator encounter can mean more in this fast-paced, erotic story of lust, loneliness, fantasy, and desire.

Amazingly Hot!
I really enjoyed this book. At first I too thought this book would be all about two woman trapped in an elevator for 13 hours. However, the book actually surprised me with a very good story of what happens once they finally get off the elevator. Great character development with both woman. Each realizing they were completely wrong about their first impressions of each other.

Dana comes out of her all work no play persona (she is a nympho) and Laurel is not a really the slutty stripper she was initially believed to be (but she's no nun either) . Each character has to face their insecurities and trust issues and realize that they can have faith, belief and rely on one another.

There is a lot of hot steamy sex in this one so be prepared. This book is a great read so sit back and enjoy the lustful ride.

Way to go me Meghan.

As only Meghan O'Brien can....
I was first introduced to Meghan O'Brien when I haphazardly purchased Infinite Loop. I was drawn into that story and riveted by the characters O'Brien created. And it is the same for Thirteen Hours. Dana and Laurel are fully developed, three-dimensional characters. I think that's exactly how I see most of O'Brien's work -- character studies. Most of her work doesn't contain highly complex plot lines, but it does involve highly detailed character development. This is something I've always loved.

But even more than that, O'Brien can write some steamy erotica. An this is certainly steamy! The book has something for every sexual palate. You're bound to find something between the covers of this book to make your mouth water.

Good work, Meghan.

Hot and dynamic
There are already many reviews which list the virtues of the book in terms of hot, hotter, and hottest. And they are all true! Hot it is!

I'd just like to add that it's a dynamic, entertaining read, and the one reason I'm not rating it 5 stars is because it's a bit two-dimensional for my tastes. Personally, I don't think the characters are so very well developed per se, what's fantastically well developed is their sexual persona, which happens practically within a bubble (and I'm not talking about the elevator!), there are no friends to contextualize the relationship, their "work" world is referred to but never brought to the forefront, the family angle is barely touched upon but not really explored...

I did have a LOT of fun with it, and I really do recommend this book for hot, fast-paced enjoyment, but in my humble opinion 5 starring a book requires a bit of extra work in terms of "rounding up" the story.
