Jo Hutchinson is obsessed with a man she’s never seen—only heard.
Her late-night calls from the office to the mysterious “Mr. D. ” grow increasingly intimate, until they finally become full-blown phone sex. Still, Jo doesn’t dare meet him. Instead, she embarks on a series of sizzling sexual escapades with other guys, sharing every sweaty moment with Mr. D. afterward, a passion-by-proxy arrangement they both get off on.
But even as she’s charting brave new naughty worlds, Jo knows that it’s all really for Mr. D. Every pleasure she experiences—eagerly, athletically, vocally—is to please him. Immersed in fantasy, reality just slips away—even the chance at that elusive combination of love and lust.
Her new tenant, Patrick, an Irish hunk in geek’s clothing, is totally into her. And in her lucid moments, Jo knows she feels the same. Can she tear herself away from her kinky dreamworld long enough to appreciate what’s right in front of her? Or has Mr. D. ruined her for real life?
“Mullany pens an impressively compelling [story] full of humor and poignant irony. ” —Publishers Weekly

STORY BRIEF:Jo works as a classical music radio announcer late at night. She gets regular phone calls at work from someone she calls Mr. D. She does not want to meet him in person. She tells him about her sexual activities with other men, usually embellishing. Jo's boyfriend of three years (Hugh) was having affairs, so she kicked him out of her home. Patrick is going through a divorce and moves into Jo's home as a tenant. Jo has sex with various men she meets. One of them invites her to join the Association, a sex club.
REVIEWER'S OPINION:
This book is mostly explicit sex scenes, about 24, plus additional talk about sex. There are sex toys, bondage, whipping, and rear door activity. There is a lot of self-pleasuring. There is group sex and a minor amount of male-male and female-female activity. There is one scene that I found surprisingly arousing - I don't know why (page 103). Jo is having lunch with the Chairman of the Association and two men who are Association members. After she agrees to join, the Chairman says "Before you go, Miss Hutchinson, there's one more thing." He beckoned to one of the waiters, who stepped forward. "A gesture of good faith, if you will." Then Jo and the waiter have sex while the three men and another waiter watch and pleasure themselves.
The plot, motivations, and heroine's actions were weak. Heroine did illogical and stupid things which had me shaking my head. Don`t read this for the story. Read this if you want lots of sex scenes. I found them ok for explicit sex.
The definition of romance requires the couple be together at the end. This barely qualifies. They weren't together but their actions hinted that they would be in the future (unless she continued doing stupid and illogical things which was her habit). It was an "assumed" happy ending. I'd prefer something more specific.
CAUTION SPOILERS:
(1) The worst part for me was she's in love with A, but she decides to have sex with B. This hurt A, and he broke up with her. I was bothered that the author never showed the sex scene with B or the conversation leading up to it. I don't know why she did it. This omission was unsatisfying and made me angry. (2) I hated the fact that Jo had sex with men she had just met, then when she has sex with Patrick she insists on "no condom." How inconsiderate and reckless of her! (3) In the beginning Mr. D wants to tell her his name and she says no. Later when she wants to talk to him he disappears. I would have liked seeing each one's motivations for this approach-avoidance. (4) Another minor plot problem was that someone caused her bike accident. Who caused it and why were never answered.

Tell Me More Mills Boon Spice edition by Janet Mullany Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Late night on-air radio personality Jo Hutchinson has feelings for a man she's never met. He calls into her show and talks to her, has for months now, and the openness and honesty in those talks form the bonds of a deep connection, until her life on and off air seems to revolve around those calls. She doesn't even know his name, yet as time goes on, he becomes her world.
At his prompting, maybe even his genteel urging, Jo slips into a world of sexual expression and fantasy the likes of which she'd never known. She gives herself over to it in wild abandon, and all with one thought telling Mr. D every erotic detail for their mutual sexual satisfaction, as their conversations are as sexually stimulating as her physical encounters. Sometimes more so.
As her journey into the world of fantasy pulls her further and further away from the life and friends she's known, Jo slowly starts to realize that there is a sinister side to sexuality, a more dangerous side, and her Mr. D. has been keeping secrets from her as he manipulated her into situations that proved untenable. It isn't until Jo tries to distance herself from the Association, a fancy name for the sex club she joined, that she starts to realize that life outside her fantasies has something in its favor. Most notably the good looking, slightly geeky Patrick Delaney, who reminds Jo just what it means to connect to someone in reality.
Walking away from the dark side is never without its risks, however, and is nowhere near as clean a break as she'd hoped. Her past haunts her, people from it harass her, and none of them want to let her go. Least of all the duplicitous Mr. D.

In an ideal world, I'd read a book, review it, then start the next one in my obscenely large pile of TBRs. I do not live in an ideal world. For Tell Me More, though, that turns out to be a good thing, because if I had reviewed this book upon finishing it, this would be a much different review with a much lower rating. I've calmed down about it now, but the last quarter of this book had the unfortunate result of infuriating me more than any book I've read in recent...and not-so-recent memory.
For the first seventy percent of it, I was quite entertained by the quirky character of Jo and the utterly enchanting Patrick. There's a lot of sex in the book; even for an erotic romance, there's a hell of a lot of sex, but the scenes are well-written and though explicit, they didn't seem crass or overly gratuitous. What impressed me most about the book, however, was that when I looked beyond the sex, I found a surprisingly complex and darkly tragic tale of a woman with a deep-seated and long-standing fear of emotional intimacy and the road she travels as she sublimates for that with increasingly wild sexual intimacy following the breakup of a long-term relationship.
This is a woman who reflects on the moments of her emotional withdrawal from her ex-boyfriend long before their breakup, who refuses to find out Mr. D.'s name or meet him in person, even after he asks, who freezes up and walks away from a swinger sex scene when she catches a glimpse of emotion between two of the characters, who withdraws and withholds from the man who genuinely loves her, and who royally bollockses up her relationship with him in the single most heinously stupid and cruel way at the most unforgivable time. Jo is one flawed, messed up character, and I thought that made both her and her story interesting...to a point.
Also surprising considering the flagrant sexuality, the narrative has a lovely tongue-in-cheek, naughty humor that flirts with, but doesn't cross over into raunchy. Jo, for all her flaws, is a funny girl, and through shifting points of view that include first person from her perspective, there are plenty of opportunities to be entertained by that alone. Patrick is also a very affable, quick-witted chap who is quite easy to love as he recovers from the dissolution of his marriage and starts falling for Jo.
For the first almost three-quarters of this book, I was drawn in and fascinated by the story. Even the parts that made me a little uncomfortable (e.g. the sex club) seemed more a portent of impending conflict and a reflection of Jo's intimacy issues than were in any way an annoyance. Then the book hit the seventy percent mark, Jo popped a whole bottle of Stupid pills, became an idiot, a liar, and a cheating slag with no redeeming traits whatsoever, and then boo-hoo'd her way into the record books as one of the most repugnant creatures I've ever had the misfortune to experience in fiction.
To make that wretched pile even worse, the story stopped making sense, dropped every single plot thread that could have provided some measure of understanding, lost what modicum of good taste it possessed, and careened into wretched, unforgivable melodramatic angst with all the enthusiasm of an alcoholic at an open bar.
I started this book thinking it was an erotic romance. If that was the intent, it failed utterly for me on all fronts. There was nothing sufficiently redemptive or explanatory in the final chapters of the book to forgive Jo's unpardonable actions, and what I read in no way resembled a satisfying HEA. It is only when I look at this book through the lens of erotic fiction that I can be more objective and appreciate the first three quarters of it. Appreciating anything about the final quarter, though, is beyond me even then.
Disclosure An ARC of this book was provided to me by Spice Books publisher Harlequin via NetGalley. This rating, review, and all included thoughts and comments are my own.

Reviewed for One Good Book Deserves Another.
SPOILER AHEAD!
I was hoping for Mr. D to be Patrick and all would live happily ever after. The main characters, especially Jo, go trough a lot of dirty TROUBLE, too many for a novel, I felt so bad for her. I didn’t understand a few of the heroine’s decisions and some scenes switched so fast and I had to go back and read again to catch up.
I thought this story just went from sex scene to sex scene, but then by the end of the book you see how lovely her RELATIONSHIP with Patrick develops and even after all the bad things that happen to them, he’s able to forgive her. But why, oh why, did she have to sleep with Mr. D?! And it was stupid of her to go to that dinner, and so many things she could’ve avoided when she was so happy with Patrick.
Most of the sex scenes are great, some dialogs are really weird and other situations makes the heroine so embarrassed that you wanna scream at her. Tell Me More is a fascinating story but has a lot issues that might disappoint the reader.
