Chloe Chisholm, pink-haired graphic designer and small-business owner, meets drop-dead gorgeous Rocco Vinelli in the elevator and sparks fly. After a weekend in each other's arms and various multiple-orgasm-producing positions, they are definitely "in-lust" with each other. The problem is that Amy, Rocco's financier's daughter, wants to be engaged to him, and he has to untangle himself from her clutches without losing her father's money while sorting out whether he is actually in love with Chloe. While waiting for this epiphany, Chloe consoles herself with the local bartender, who does not make the earth move for her, thus reinforcing Rocco's appeal. She also tries to be interested in the ill-fated and predictable love affairs of her two best friends while being consoled by her crazy aunt Gracie. All works out as Johnson overcomes a silly premise and two-dimensional, if sexually acrobatic, characters to present an entertainingly conveyed tale rich in lovingly described sex scenes.
