[.ca] High Energy (ISBN 0843944382)

Not Her Best but Still Fun:
If you're looking for a heart-felt, emotional, love story... forget it. This is no traditional boy-meets-girl, love-blossums-despite-obstacles, couple-gets-married-and-have-kids type of romance novel. Instead, it is a fast-physically-attracted, faster-to-bed and into-a-steamy-sex-filled-relationship kind of book. Zanita, a reporter hot on a story, pairs up with Tyber, a hunk of a physicist, to uncover a conman. A lot of kooky secondary characters actually help save this book and make it a fairly fun read. Tyber has a math-genius/nut-case as a cook who thinks he's on a pirate ship & Tyber's the Captain. Zani has an even zanier aunt who is deadly to Tyber's Harley. Then, there's the couple's friends, Greg and Mills; two characters who actually make me wish THEY were the focus of this book's sequel. Sorry, not so lucky: Instead, Tyber and Zanita return for more sex in HIGH INTENSITY. ...

Romance, Comedy and a Hot male lead too!:
Another great Dara Joy romance but this time with a contemporary theme. If you like a light hearted, funny romance with an attractive strong man and plenty of steamy scenes, then this book is for you. You won't find any fantasy or science fiction in this novel like her Matrix of Destiny series but I loved the interaction between the main characters. She's a kooky reporter and he's a genius at physics and "other things". I have read it many times along with its follow up "High Intensity". Give this novel a chance. It's not like your usual romance.

I love intelligent men! & Funny Romance!:
If you're not into intelligent, hunky physics professors trying to convince slightly ditzy blonde reporters that they should get together with them and get seriously into bed, this is not the book for you. It reminded me of some of the Cary Grant/Debbie Reynolds or Doris Day comedies of the 40's and 50's with alot more steamy sex. I wish the heroine was a little more together, but not everybody is perfect, and that's part of what put's the Comedy in Romantic Comedy.

High Energy is a book worth reading!:
If your looking for a funny rommantic book with intriguing characters and a plot that pulls you in this is it. Ms. Joy manages to recreate the typical screwball comedy by writing about Tyber, who tries to convince Zanita to enter into a relationship with him while dealing with s shady conman named Xavier LaLeche. This a grater read, worth your time.

Decent Read:
I picked this book up after reading Joy's first book, Knight of a Trillion Stars nearly ten years ago (WOW! TIME MOVES FAST). I was a little disappointed with this book because I thought she had taken kooky to a different level. I expected to hear the Addams family theme every time I turned the page. It was okay. Not here best, but I did enjoy the book as a light hearted read. It didn't make my imagination wonder like the Matrix of Destiny books, but it was fun. I give this book 3 stars because there were some pretty hot scenes and overall it was pretty funny.
