MY REVIEW
I would like to begin my review with this, “Congrats to Morgan and Jennifer on your brilliant debut!” It has been a pleasure to read your first book and review it. Your book Exposure is a most enjoyable and witty read. Filled with a wonderful cast of well written characters and quirky lines, this book is a hit!
As a reader, my favorite books are those that I can connect with, either with the characters, the places in the story, or the actual plot. Exposure allowed me to connect on all levels. References to places in the story were of a personal nature to me. Some of the witty lines mentioning movies and sci-fi are “very me” as well. I must not forget the characters since they are the true stars. They were written to be real. I love that!
You did a fabulous job creating the main characters in your story. Shaunna is the savvy publicist and my favorite female in the book. David is the up and coming sexy actor who stole my heart too. Their story along with Michelle and Kyle’s current dilemma provide plenty of ups and downs that will keep you hooked throughout the book.
Nathan and Gus (who happen to love cars like I do) were the perfect supporting characters. I must not forget Thomas. He is the clever lawyer I would want on my side. Finally, there is Sly, who I most enjoyed learning more about towards the end of the story and I think you will too. All in all, your characters had great chemistry together making the story a wonderful read.
The right amount of humor paired with a clever and brilliant plot along with steamy love scenes make this a book I highly recommend.

EXCERPT
As a boy in Chicago, David always imagined there was something sinister about midnight. Now, he associated midnight with sensuality, and felt nothing but joy. He’d found the friend he wanted to see the world with. He held the lover whom he would never let go. She was a living passion, a comfort for his weary soul.
“I’ve missed you so much,” David whispered as he rested his head on her chest.
She wrapped her arms around his damp head. “I’ve missed you too. Do you have to be anywhere tomorrow morning?”
“Nope. The whole day is mine. Ours.”
“Good,” Shaunna breathed.
She pulled his face to hers and kissed him in a desperate, craving way that got him revved up all over again. When he pressed his body to hers, she opened her legs immediately. With an adjustment of his hips, David slowly entered her and closed his eyes with pleasure. Shaunna’s eyes were wide open. She stared up at his strong chest as he became a part of her for the first time in weeks.
They moved slowly at first, savoring the contact, but it had been a very long day. Soon they evolved into voracious lovers bucking against one another. They slid up and down each other’s bodies, kissing and licking anything that was exposed. They flitted from position to position, each one causing Shaunna to climax faster than the one before.
David was strong but getting tired, so she pushed him down on his back and straddled him with a determined expression.
“Are you ready?” she purred. “I want you to come for me.”
“Yes,” David confirmed breathlessly.
Shaunna moved with purpose. David, jealous of the moon’s fingers caressing his lover’s skin, reached up and cupped her slick breasts. She leaned into his hands and wiggled hard with him inside her. She climaxed twice more before she heard his soft blissful whimper and felt his hands squeeze her thighs.
“Rest,” she told him as she settled back onto the mattress and pulled him into her arms. Her intentions were to look after him, to stroke his hair, but soon she fell into a doze. He was relaxed but also excited for the time when he would finally be able to publicly declare their love. He fell asleep with a peace in his heart that all the money in the world could never have given him.
They didn’t wake to make love again until the room was completely dark. Outside, the sky showed thin strips of purple on the undersides of low clouds passing each other like great puffy whales.
Their dawn lovemaking was silent and slow, and they didn’t stir again until the house’s air conditioning kicked in and the smell of Michelle’s coffee snuck up the stairs to tempt them into the day.
