I Wanna Sext You Up
Let's Talk About Sext Book 2
by Evie Claire
Warning: Workplace flirtation may cause side effects.
Super-geek physician Saam Sherazi, M.D., is clueless about anything that can’t be learned from a textbook. Most people assume he’s an intellectual a-hole with a God complex, but Saam doesn’t need a sparkling bedside manner to treat his patients. Besides, he’d rather not encourage the countless women who are solely attracted to the two little letters at the end of his name—something that’s rubbed him the wrong way ever since he finished med school. But when Lorie Braddock walks into Saam’s office, he finds himself wanting to rub her all sorts of right.
At twenty-five, former beauty queen Lorie Braddock is finally living life on her terms. She’s moved to the big city, landed her dream job, and traded her titles and tiaras for power suits and promotions. But while Lorie’s sprinting up the corporate ladder, her dating life is guided by one simple rule: Don’t dip your pen in the company ink. Until Dr. Saam Sherazi starts invading her thoughts . . . and steaming up her phone with the kind of sexting that makes her want to rewrite all her rules.
Momma Says: 2 stars⭐⭐
This is the second book by Evie Claire that I've read, and I think it's safe to say that she clearly isn't the author for me. Part of my problem with I Wanna Sext You Up is that I felt like it didn't really know what it wanted to be. The cover and blurb made me expect a lighthearted, possibly fluffy bit of fun, but the story veers in another more serious direction. I have no problem with either, but I felt misled with this one. Unfortunately, neither direction really worked for me. I had a problem with the characters in the first book of this series, and that continued here. They're all a little one-dimensional and I can't say that I particularly liked either Lorie or Saam. Awkward geek can be adorable, but Saam is just over the top and comes off as mostly rude. And Lorie was so consumed with climbing the ladder that it's the only thing I really knew about her for the first several chapters. In the end, there really wasn't much about this one that did work for me, and it was only my sheer determination, or maybe obsession, about finishing a book that kept me going. Considering that I'm now 2 for 2 with this series, I think I'll just call it and say enough is enough, time to move on.
