Scientists Vetta St. Claire and Travis Carmichael share living and office space, but it’s there that the similarities stop. Vetta, heiress to millions, certified genius, and frustrated virgin, owns the building and has devoted herself to researching…nothing. Except now, when she has devised a fool-proof experiment designed to prove that all men, even the best of them, are ruled by nothing but the desire for money, not sex

Travis, on the other hand, has had to scrape for every penny of funding for his project of finding a cure for ovarian cancer, from which his beloved mother died. This quest takes priority over all things in his life, including his sex life, which is active and varied.

Their two worlds collide in a burst of blistering sex, catching each off guard, forcing them to re-evaluate their previous antagonistic relationship. Unfortunately, this coincides with Travis running out of funding, and too proud to accept any help from Vetta, he accepts a job out of state. Will the two overcome their fears to grab the happiness within their grasp, or will their insecurities prevent them from doing so?

In her story Test Me! Dee Tenorio lives up to her reputation as an author who delivers an emotional punch as well as hot sensuality in nearly every scene. She captures the emotional turmoil within both Vetta and Travis so well that it is completely impossible not to feel for them. Their inner conflicts in regards to trust, and their outer conflicts regarding Travis's decision to move away are portrayed with precision. In addition, Vetta's bull dog of a "nanny" provides light -hearted relief from the building intensity. And lest you forget, as mentioned earlier, the sex is absolutely smoking from the get go! With Test Me! Dee Tenorio has definitely secured her position as an author I will jump for every time. Five Angels, RR
