Description
The last thing Glenna O'Donald expected to stumble upon in a cemetery was a pack of index cards. And not just any cards--each one contains instructions for a seriously kinky, no-holds-barred sexual encounter. Glenna, an over-analytical research assistant by day, is suddenly tempted to conduct some nocturnal experiments of her own. Especially when gorgeous university professor Eric Morris offers to be her lab partner.
Soon Glenna begins meeting with Eric once a week to try out the suggestions that intrigue her most. In between those daring nights of sensual exploration are work days filled with laughter and flirting…until Glenna fears she's getting in too deep. For all the pleasure she's giving and receiving, Glenna wants more than skin-on-skin interaction--and Eric realizes he's about to lose the intimate connection he didn't know he needed. Can they find the courage to take this game to the next level?
As hot as it is heartwarming, Christine d'Abo's fresh, witty novel proves that practice makes perfect, and that some games are worth playing…

Featured Reviews
All work leaves little time for play, and with a demanding, opportunistic boss, Glenna O'Donald always has less time than the various abortive relationships want. The high points? Sharing an office with her best friend, her boss' current sabbatical, and drooling over Professor Morris.
Reeling from the death of her beloved great-grandmother, and wondering how to best fulfill Great Glenna's good bye encouragement to step out of her comfort zone, Glenna finds a deck of index cards in the cemetery. Index cards lovingly written out for a woman, and encouraging her to explore her own sexual horizons. Cards that Eric Morris seems quite interested in exploring with Glenna.
Glenna and Eric embark on a sexual exploration together, filled with explosive sex and a growing affection that they try to ignore. Will they find what they need beyond their 30 nights?
30 Nights cleverly continues the story started in 30 Days, but through the index cards rather than directly through any characters.
The story is smart and sexy, delivering character and relationship growth in a tight narrative. I tore through it in a single evening.
A fan of the author from her book, 30 Days.
Taking the idea to another level of things to complete, we have a woman who has a crush on a professor at the same college where she works as an assistant professor.
Due to overhearing a conversation about her attraction to him to one of her friends, he steps up when he also hears of 30 sex cards needing to be accomplished.
We go on this adventure with them both... each accomplishing more than just the sex acts. Again an interesting vehicle and our author works it well.
