Brenda who is Ben's secretary, and obviously jealous of the relationship between Ben and Molly, breaks in to Molly's house, finds her books, and announces to the world her hidden secret, that she is a erotica author. Ben leaves Molly,not wanting to relate to her career path, only to find out Brenda is not the only one stalking Molly. Ben to save the day! Great book, but I did want to slap Ben for his early on opinion of Moly's career. ”
“8/10 stars.”

“Molly Jennings finds herself back in her home town of Tumble Creek, Colorado after her Aunt leaves her an old farm house. Since Molly is a writer of erotic romance - which she keeps secret from everyone - she can live anywhere. She discovers after running into Ben Lawson in the grocery store, that maybe she just never got over her crush she had on him. Wouldn't it be fun to shore up with him for the winter? She sets about to rekindle an old flame, but Ben wants more than Molly is willing to give. He wants to know all about her and that means what she does for a living. The catch is Molly can't seem to trust anyone. Will she be able to trust Ben?

Talk Me Down is a witty, sexy contemporary with a delicious hero, Ben. He is smart, sexy and caring, but a rule follower and has a somewhat serious demeanor. Molly on the other hand, is all about fun and games. She seems to get the best of him with her flirtatious and outrageous manner. Sometimes I found this to be entertaining, but at a certain level I also found it irritating. I didn't like the fact that Molly wouldn't trust Ben with her secrets. She was constantly lying to him and it frustrated me. She holds out with these lies for three-quarters of the book. This was much too long in my opinion.
In addition to Molly and Ben's conflict with their relationship, there is also a stalker who has made Molly their target. There are a couple of suspects who seem rather obvious and there wasn't much suspense to the mystery. Although, it did take a little twist I didn't see coming. Yet, Talk Me Down is still primarily a contemporary romance and not romantic suspense. I felt that the author did a good job of making Ben and Molly work through their issues without using the stalker as a way to motivate them.
In summary, Talk Me Down was a better than average read, with a few minor problems. I enjoyed Ben's personality better than Molly's but found them to be complementary to each other. I look forward to reading more of Victoria Dahl's work.”

“Excellent book! It was funny, suspenseful and very very sexy! I loved the characters and the adorable little town of Tumble Creek, which has a character all its own. I'm very much looking forward to the next book in the series.

Warning to readers who prefer sweet romances: this book has VERY explicit love scenes. I don't normally read many explicit romances myself, but I'm so glad I read this one! It was wonderful!!!!! :-)”1 of 1 members found this review helpful“What a FUN read!

Molly moves back to her hometown after being away for 10 years and meets back up with Ben who she had teenage hot fantasies about.
Molly is refreshingly written as sexually confident, funny and easy to connect with. I actually laughed out loud reading this book.
Ben is also written unusually human for romantic fiction. He's totally masculine and alpha male but endearing in unique ways.
The stalker mystery was written well enough but of course the reader is able to figure it out for the most part.
The secondary characters are vivid but nicely in the background. They don't hinder the story at all and add just the right amount of filler to the story.
The humor is outstanding and the love scenes are hot!
I rate it an A and is a keeper. ”
