Their online games turn into games of the heart…

A brutal mugging two years ago left Calli terrified to go out after dark, and incapable of real dating. Hanging out with a resentful Chihuahua every night hasn’t filled the void, and all the sex toys from the store she owns could never replace a flesh-and-blood man. An online Scrabble-type site promising anonymous, flirty fun sounds right up her alley. A like-minded geek, that’s what she needs. Unbeknownst to her, the man on the other end of the game is anything but geeky.

Travis is tired of the party scene and women chasing after his bad-boy musician persona. He wants somebody who is drawn to his mind, not his profession, and he might have found her—on the opposite side of an internet game board. After heating up the tiles with Calli online, he’s determined to meet her in person. Touch her in person. And when he does, their chemistry is undeniable. But when he discovers her tragic past he realizes it will take more than words to win her heart…and her trust.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Hottest. Game. Of. Scrabble. Ever. X 1000. As a 'geek girl who met her husband online, I can appreciate the semi-anonymous appeal of an online relationship. It's more compelling when the person focuses on our biggest erogenous zone - the brain." ~ Amazon Reviewer

"An absolutely beautiful story of love and courage with a perfect HEA." ~ Amazon Reviewer

"I found the Scrabble banter to be fun, the characters to have believable conflict - both internal and external - and their chemistry was hotter than hot. The sex was sizzling, but it was the love story that really sold the book for me, as well as a strong, vulnerable hero and heroine, who both grew in their own ways. It was a win-win for me and I thoroughly loved it." ~ Amazon Reviewer

"They are playing dirty anonymous online Scrabble. IT'S MY PERFECT BOOK." ~ Amazon Reviewer

"Hot, Hot and more Hotness. I loved this book. It has a great story line with steamy sex scenes and lots of clever banter (which is my favorite thing)." ~ Amazon Reviewer

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sexy romance

This was a great story. Travis is a sexy, tattooed, scrabble playing musician and Callie is a sweet and slightly neurotic woman that owns a Romance shop (aka sex store)...how could you not love this couple?!?!?!

Seriously though, both leads in this story are great. Callie is a real sweetheart but she suffered a brutal attack near her apartment. Now she can't go out side after dark without full blown panic attacks. It doesn't help that the man that attacked her was never caught and could still be out there. Since she can't go out she spends a lot of time at home trying to find stuff to do. This leads her to an online scrabble site and her meeting Travis.

Travis is a musician but has come to dislike the groupies and the unfeeling sex that goes with the lifestyle. He meets Callie online and they strike up a conversation while playing scrabble. He finds he likes her and uses clues she gave while they chatted to look for her. He finds her, which kind of freaks her out a bit but they work past that. They start to see each other and at first Callie doesn't let Travis know about her issue with going outside after dark. When he does find out about it he's actually ok with it and wants to continue to see her. He also wants her to feel safe going out and tries to encourage her to go out with him protecting her.

Unfortunately drama sets in and there are relationship issues that they both unintentionally cause. Travis ends up getting to be a real hero for Callie in a time of need but misunderstandings cause the relationship issues to continue. Fortunately there's some help from a certain cupid and they get another chance. Things are cleared up and a very good HEA ensues.

This was a great read...I just loved it and will reread in the future. I'd recommend it. Thumbs up! :D

I really liked the idea of meeting over an internet scrabble game. Especially if you are a jaded rocker looking for someone who won't just want you because you are in a band. I liked the broken, terrified heroine who was afraid to go out. Perfect combo. There were just some things I would have liked to have happened differently.

*I can't understand why she would allow him access to her in person without knowing him a lot better after what happened to her.

*I would have liked them to get better acquainted over the game before he got all stalker like and tried to find her.

*I don't have a clue why she kept calling herself plain. There wasn't much of a physical description given and the only reason she seemed to feel like she wasn't attractive was because her sister was more outgoing. If she is seriously as hot as our hero claims she is, then it wouldn't matter how extroverted her sister is, she would still get attention unless she hid in a closet and she has only been a recluse for the last two years...and only after dark. Soooo.....I guess I didn't feel there was a reason for her to be so down on herself and her appearance. If she had always been talked down to because of her beautiful sister, or gotten scars or something from her attack, then I could see her being self conscious but I just didn't get that.

*The back and forth break ups are always annoying when there is really not a good reason, but they "broke up" quite a bit for only being together such a short time and were kind of overly torn up about it for people who only knew each other a week.

*Why on earth would anyone who is in a hospital after only JUST waking up from a stabbing and brutal beating immediately have sex? He was broken up, she was beaten up....yet...that's the first thing they do?

I liked this couple, and actually liked the story except for the few things that bugged me. Not all stories are going to have every element that makes sense or agrees with everyone so for the most part, this was an enjoyable read.

I REALLY enjoyed this book. I knew it was going to be good when I read her Six Sentence Sunday snippets, but man, it was even better when I got to read it in its entirety. Calli has a tremendous fear of being out of her home in the darkness where she'd been mugged two years previous. Travis is tired of the rock'n'roller lifestyle with serial sex partners, so one Saturday night they log into Wordloverz and play scrabble. I love scrabble, but I'd never played it like this and it was a terrific foil for introducing the characters. If you like a sweet and trying love story, with hot sex containing BDSM elements, I highly recommend More Than Words! :)

I really enjoyed this book! Callie is a smart, witty, sexy woman who has panic attacks when thinking about going outside after dark. It has been two years since she has left her apartment after the sun goes down.

Callie spends her nights playing online scrabble and starts a sexy banter with a guy named Travis. Travis is a smexy guitar player who is sick of only being wanted for his looks and for being in a rock band so he seeks interaction through an online game. Travis is extremely intrigued after his online game with "C Ya". Callie inadvertently gives Travis clues during this game of where to find her.

Will Travis help Callie face her demons and be able to enjoy the night?!

The book had some HOT scenes in it and touched on some great issues. I was completely captivated within the first chapter of the book. I definitely recommend this to anyone that loves reads with some steam as well as a great background story!

Okay. They are playing dirty anonymous online Scrabble. IT'S MY PERFECT BOOK. And I really love the author's voice--it's funny and quick and simple but still sophisticated, which is not an easy feat. I found both characters sympathetic and believable--even though it would have been easy for her to let her heroine to fall into a "victim" role. The sex in this book (and her first, too) is crazy-hot. I had some mild credulity issues with some aspects of the plot, but they actually didn't cramp my enjoyment of this book, which I would definitely recommend.
