Overview

Let's go crazy!

Successful Claudia Barrett seems to be doing it all right. She's a vice president at her firm, with an engagement ring on her finger from the man who's loved her since high school. So what if she's been wearing it for five years -- and her classic, expensive, dull everyday outfits make her look like someone fatally allergic to a good time?

What exactly is wrong with the girl?

She's bored, for one thing. She's thirty years old and in a rut -- and best friend, Pam, thinks it's time Claudia got her freak on. It's time to inject a little action, adventure, and good old-fashioned lust into this sister's life. But practicing what Pam is preaching and going buck wild could have some serious consequences, especially when tall, dark, and dangerous Cody is added to the mix.

Going Buck Wild

By Foxx, Nina

Avon Books

ISBN: 0060564490

Chapter One

There was nothing like smell to make an experience whole. Claudia grabbed a cart as she headed into Central Market and inhaled. The smell of ripe fruit greeted her nose. She immediately felt warm; there was something about the market on Saturday morning that made her feel good, something about the way the various exotic fruits blended together that made her feel calm and relaxed.

Central Market had become her oasis in the midst of a hectic week.

Central Market was Austin's semi-upscale, semi-trendy supermarket. Its aisles were stocked with the hard-to-find and exotic. Nothing ordinary here. If you were looking for organic food and top-notch catering, this was the place to go.

There was no rest for the weary in Claudia's household, especially when the weary was the wannabe superwoman type. Even though she had left him at home over twenty minutes ago, Claudia knew exactly what her fiancé was doing right now -- nothing. He needed to "decompress" from his stressful week at the office. She frowned and stopped at the coffee counter. Must be nice. Claudia had no time for decompression, though her week had been as stressful as most -- she'd closed two major deals that the office had been working on for over a year, filled in as the "snack mother" for her best friend's kid's class, and taken her cat to the veterinarian three times. For Claudia, it was important that everything get done, and get done well. Nothing could slip through the cracks. She liked feeling efficient, but efficiency had its price: exhaustion.

"Decaf latte please, soy milk." She scrounged in her bag for some cash. Claudia never had time to make it to the ATM, but shopping wasn't complete without her coffee. Maybe a cooking class was going on too. Central Market was famous for those, and although she'd never had the time to formally sign up, Claudia had eavesdropped on quite a few.

"Okay, you know they are much more fun when they are fully loaded. Decaf and skim -- what would the point be? I will take one fully loaded, with a double shot, please."

Claudia turned around and looked up into a face that was vaguely familiar, surrounded by curly, dark brown hair. His long eyelashes framed his almond-shaped eyes perfectly. She tried to place his face but couldn't. Was he wearing mascara?

"Excuse me? But caffeine is bad for you. The way you asked for it will give me wrinkles, and I don't make enough to afford a plastic surgeon." She sipped at her cup and grimaced.

"I sincerely doubt that you have to worry about that. You take care of yourself. You are not about to wrinkle, and there are so many plastic surgeons in Austin we might as well be in L.A. I'm sure you can find one within your budget." He took the cup the person behind the counter handed him. "And you should try your latte with whipped cream on top. It will make your day." He sipped and dabbed at his mouth with a napkin. "I'm Cody, I work downstairs from you, in IT -- "

"I knew you looked familiar." Claudia placed her coffee cup on the counter and extended her hand. They must have ridden in the elevator together once or twice. "I'm -- "

"Claudia Barrett." Claudia was immediately overcome as his massive fingers wrapped around hers in the strongest handshake she had ever felt.

"I know who you are. Everyone does now. That was a major coup you pulled off with Boeing. They were about to drop us. The whole office is talking about it. Good job."

Claudia worked for Pittsford Electronics, and Boeing was their largest customer, one usually handled with kid gloves. Their last account executive had said something to set them off, and they'd repeatedly threatened to take their business elsewhere until Claudia had stepped in and signed them to a ten-year exclusive agreement. She'd ended her stress-filled week as the star of the office.

Claudia blushed. "Thanks. They had to come around sooner or later. We do have the best product." Cody stopped shaking her hand, but he didn't let go. She shook her hand free and fidgeted. The tightness of his grip had been uncomfortable. She still could not seem to recall the exact place she'd seen Cody before. "You have a good shopping trip. You may be the only man in here."

"You might be right about that, but I love to cook so I am here all the time. I'm used to it."

"Really? Your wife must love that. My fiancé doesn't even know how to get to the kitchen." Claudia thought about the last time Jackson had tried to cook anything. He'd scorched one of her best pots so badly that it had set off the smoke alarm.

"No wife. No girlfriend." He shook his head. "That's too bad about that fiancé. I find cooking therapeutic. It calms me after a long day at the office. He should try it sometime." Gingerly, he balanced his cup in his shopping cart. "Take care." He paused, not trying to hide the fact that he was checking her out. "And I like those shoes. I know you didn't buy those here in Austin."

"No, no I didn't." She glanced down at her new sandals, half frowning. "You know shoes? These are Taryn Rose. I got them in Houston." Claudia opened her eyes wide in recognition as her "gay-dar" perked up. Not many men would dare make a shoe comment to a woman they didn't know. Or any woman, for that matter.

"I wouldn't say I know them. I just appreciate women who take care of their feet."

"Oh, okay, I am surprised you noticed. Men usually don't. It was nice talking with you."

Claudia picked up her coffee and headed into the market. Central Market was set up so that the traffic flowed through smoothly ...

    this book was awful

    nothing in this book was enjoyable. It was so unrealistic. I found myself rolling my eyes page after page. The characters kept changing personalities it was bizarre. None of them were really likeable. Who acts like this?? Don't waste your time reading this one!

    delightful chick lit

    In Austin, Thirtyish Claudia Barrett seems to have everything going. She has a terrific job as a vice president at Pittsford Electronics and is engaged to a nice hunk Jackson. So why is Claudia bored and finding herself attracted to Cody of IT? Her friend Pam believes that Claudia is in the Grand Canyon of ruts having tasted no male fruit except Jackson whom she has been with since high school and engaged to for five years. Claudia follows her pal¿s advice to go looking for some lust and informs Jackson they need some separation time. Jackson wholeheartedly agrees to Claudia¿s shock. As she tests the wolf population by GOING BUCK WILD (or as feral as she can) with the Cody crowd, Claudia begins to realize she took the wrong aisle as she misses steady Jackson and wants him back permanently as in married. Readers will appreciate this delightful chick lit charmer starring a strong protagonist who is intelligent enough to conclude that she chose a path wrong for her though it does take Claudia some time (after all it is a novel) to realize that. The story line is often amusing, but also contains a powerful theme that relationships work best when parties are honest with each other and with themselves. Though the audience could have used deeper insight into Jackson in order to fully compare him with the better developed Cody, readers will appreciate Claudia¿s Austin¿s joy ride. Harriet Klausner
