Pleasure Control by Cathryn Fox



A dedicated scientist, Laura Manning has an I.Q. that's off the charts. But beneath her pristine white lab coat is a curvaceous body that craves satisfaction. She finds it hard keeping her mind on the experiment and off what's under the lab coat of her bad boy research partner, Jay Cutler, whom she's working with to develop a libido suppressant, an "antidote" for a society gone sex-mad, pumped up and over-stimulated by the miracle of Viagra.
With time running out, Jay offers to act as a human guinea pig, injecting himself with the libido suppressant. Laura's role requires lingerie, soft music and candlelight. Her job is to entice him, to determine if the suppressant tamps down his desires. Rather than cooling the flames of lust engulfing them, their "antidote" only heats them up . . . and there's only one scandalous way to deal with it!
Suddenly long days of laboratory work are giving way to sizzling nights of sensual experimentation—and a different kind of "chemistry" that leaves Jay and Laura breathless and gasping for more! Their professional careers may depend upon a successful climax—and there are dangerous competitors determined to steal their research. And maybe their pleasure games have gotten a bit out of control.
But who in her right mind would want to pull the plug on her man's libido when the loving is this deliciously hot?

            I wasn’t sure what to think about this book. I’m not big into medical sciency books but this one did not really focus on the science part. It’s a straight up romance that just happens to have science in it. Works for me.
            The story line is about two scientists working together to create a male libido suppressant to help make men last longer. They have to hurry because their funding is about to be up. So they decide to test the serum on themselves. What they didn’t know was that somebody had switched the vials, so that the suppressant was really an enhancer. However (and I thought this was great) the way that they feel about each other had nothing to do with the enhancer. They would have had great sex either way.
            There were some funny moments. I especially liked the boss. As a side character, he’s not really involved in the plot but it was still funny when he called them out for having sex in his bathroom. I could just imagine the look on their faces.
            Speaking of sex, the sex in this book was great. There wasn’t any overt kinkiness but the descriptions were almost kinky because they were so well done. I liked the different locations and the variety of the sex scenes. Cathryn Fox definitely has a sense of what people like to read in terms of sex. I definitely like her writing style.
            In the end I am rating this book 3.75 stars. I like the characters and the way they interact with each other. I look forward to the next book.
