SynopsisSex? Absolutely.
Love? Not my thing.
I didn’t do love or butterflies, but I loved him.
I was screwed, and not in a good way.

Selah Elmore is a smart, independent woman who knows exactly who she is and what she wants. She loves her life being a professor and popular pirate erotica author. However, when she leaves the Pacific Northwest to spend six months studying sculpture in West Africa, she learns she doesn’t know a thing about love.

Cocky, suit-wearing Gerhard charms her during a stopover in Amsterdam, but dashing, adventurous Kai sweeps her off her feet in Ghana.

Sparks fly on three continents when perpetually single Selah discovers there’s more to love and life than she ever imagined.

ReviewDenise’s 4 STAR Review!!!

I truly enjoyed Missionary Position, this book tells the story of Selah Elmore and I want to start by saying this book can absolutely be read stand alone. I am not going to tell you who Selah’s love interest is because as the blurb says “ Cocky, suit-wearing Gerhard charms her during a stopover in Amsterdam, but dashing, adventurous Kai sweeps her off her feet in Ghana.” Please also note this review will be on the short side because I do not want to reveal the twist and turns that made this book so enjoyable

The story opens with Selah in an airport enjoying a meal with a stranger; a kind woman also enjoying sushi at JFK; the stranger’s suggestion that Selah call her brother to help end her visit to Amsterdam was a wonderful way to introduce a love interest for a busy professional who has her head down and is focused on her carer.

I loved Gerhard the suit-wearing professional and he and Selah cracked me up; the exchanges between these two were engaging and pulled me right in. It is clear to the reader that this pull is different for Selah.

As Selah’s visit to Amsterdam came to a close, I found myself rooting for these two who live on different continents to find a way to have this be more than just this interaction.

Selah leaves Amsterdam for Ghana to continue her business; because yes this book is about grown-up adults with lives, and careers and plans. And true to an adult, your life does not stop just because you feel a connection to someone.

When Kai entered the story in Ghana, things got truly amazing, no not a love triangle or a ménage and I am loving it!

If I loved Gerhard, I adore Kai; he was adventurous, kind in spirit and a man who learned the mistakes of his past and is determined to create a life he loves. Kia and Selah’s connection took this book to a new level; the chemistry; the opening up to each other and when these two finally connect, well the sex scenes layers passion, lust and ultimately love.

Re-enter Anita, the stranger from the airport into the story and well it all gets shaken up and no not what you are thinking; I loved the twists and the complications, it so added to the story.

The weaving of Selah’s “other career” into this story was so well done! Nope again not telling you

I should also add Ms. Prescott’s ability to transport the reader using vivid imagery across continents was so well done.

Ok back to the story; there were times I wanted to scream, I wanted to shake Selah but in the end, behind the resolution and pain was a woman who had on idea to fit love into her very busy career driven life.

I am very much looking forward to Ms. Prescott’s next release whenever that might be. I truly enjoy her writing style.

AboutTheAuthordaisy prescott
Before writing funny contemporary romances about adults, I dreamed of being an author while doing a lot of other things. Antiques dealer, baker, blue ribbon pie-maker, fangirl, freelance writer, gardener, pet mom and wife are a few of the titles I’ve acquired along the way.

Born and raised in San Diego, my husband and I currently live in a real life Stars Hollow in the Boston suburbs with our dog, Hubbell, and an imaginary house goat.

Ready to Fall, my second novel, features John Day, the hot, sexy neighbor in my debut novel Geoducks Are for Lovers. Both can be read as standalones.

My third novel, Missionary Position, a contemporary romance/romantic comedy, will be released on June 10, 2014. It stars Selah Elmore, from Geoducks, and can be read as a standalone.
