About a year ago a book
titled Sneaking Candy was released. It was about a creative writing graduate
student (Candice Salinas) and her erotic romance author alter-ego (Candy
Sloane). Readers fell in love with Candy and so did author Lisa Burstein.

last…
Fifteen Contestants, Twelve Episodes & One Chance to Rock Her WorldWhen my best friend Allie posted about my need for an inaugural O on a
prominent dating website it was meant to be a joke.
A joke she was supposed to delete.
But her post started an internet and media frenzy and, when I was offered fifty
thousand dollars to star in my own reality competition show, I had no choice
but to say yes.
The show was supposed to help me meet a carnal companion who could finally
bring me to climax.
Unfortunately, the one person I want to win the undying allegiance of my, well,
you know, can’t be in the running at all.
Now in an L.A. mansion with fifteen very persuasive contestants vying for my
attention and one undeniably sexy Production Assistant secretly getting it all
the word ACTION has a whole new meaning…
Author’s Note: This book is about
sex. There are men kissing women, women kissing women, and men kissing lady
parts. It is not meant for readers under eighteen, or my mother.

Behind the Scenes
Make me come for the very first time.
Twenty-five-year-old busty, blond, green-eyed,
straitlaced librarian,

before him has.

Above you’ll find the joke “Casual
Encounters” post my best friend Allie put on Craigslist without my knowledge.

On the bright

predicted.

Her post was
true. I’d never had an orgasm during sex, or anything else I’d done with
someone else. Yes, even with tongues, fingers, and things stuck in places my
mother and your mother would not want to hear about things being stuck.

My lack of
orgasm without my trusty vibrator wasn’t something I bragged about, but I also
didn’t think it was that weird.

I mean, Allie
told me it was, but it was like rule number one of being friends with her to
never believe anything she said. Her self-described sex life rivaled the tips
in Cosmo magazine—the good parts that
revealed confidences you were pretty sure no human had ever actually
experienced, not the embarrassing anonymous stories that made you feel better
about your own boring sex life.

I received the
first response to Allie’s post while I was at work shelving books in the
miniscule poetry section of the Bangor Public Library. I was using my recently
awarded Masters of Library Science degree to its fullest for sure.

My phone buzzed
in my back pocket. I picked it up with one hand and squeezed it between my ear
and shoulder, balancing a huge volume by E.E. Cummings in my other hand.

weren’t supposed to take calls in the library, and that day I wished I would
have followed the rule I continually got reprimanded for breaking.

pounding so chaotically the people using the free internet could probably hear
it anyway.

I was too freaked out to even appreciate the humor in a guy trying to talk

I tried to
gather myself, smoothing my tight ponytail as I went back to shelving, but I
couldn’t get his voice out of my head. I kept hearing him. The men I went out
with never talked to me that way. No one
had ever talked to me that way. I certainly didn’t like it, but I also couldn’t
deny the adrenaline shooting and pinging through each limb like my body was a
pinball machine.

I picked up a
slim Anne Sexton paperback—yet another irony in hindsight—and squatted down.
His voice still echoed. My thighs burned as I glided my fingers along the back
spines on the bottom shelf looking for its space.

“Hello,” I

and bright red, a perfect contrast to my olive green eyes and the one style
decision that always made people wonder about me.

It was 11:00
a.m., too early to take lunch, but I didn’t care. My phone vibrated in my hand
as yet another call lit up the screen. I forced it to voicemail and texted
Allie to drop everything and meet me at The Sundown.

If it was too
early to take lunch, it was definitely too early to have a drink, but I needed
one. It had to be five o’clock somewhere considering it was sex o’clock on my phone.
