A cute book by a new to me author. It has a different, but enjoyable storyline and a sweet happy ending.

“To every #ladyboss who refuses to settle— this book is for you.” This was on the last page of the book. I want to take a moment and say thank you to Evie. Too many women have to choose between work/family/loved ones. A big premise in the book is Lorie is a pharmaceutical rep and she falls for the doctor. She is worried about how it will look. Saam starts prescribing more of her drugs but it’s based on merit, not on the relationship between them. It also doesn’t help the rep before her got “let go’ because of something similar except that doctor was married and it was an affair she was having. If it were the other way around it wouldn’t be a problem. The guy would get a pat on the back and a good job. I love that she sorta acknowledges the double standard. I fell on love with Lorie’s character. She went from having everything to nothing and is working hard to get her life on track. Saam’s character I wasn’t sure how I would feel in the beginning but I ended up falling in love with him also. The sexiness between Saam and Lorie was off the charts and I mean it’s in the title, it delivered. I enjoy office romances I think they are a fun trope. I really w enjoyed her writing and I can’t wait to read more by her!

Okay, I read one chapter of this one and gave up. I do usually try to read more than this, especially when it comes to ARCs, but this book and I totally weren't clicking.
When it comes to romances, it is really important that I like the main characters or at least see they are redeemable. Now, Lorie isn't a bad character and I'm sure some people will really like her or relate to her-- heck, it is possible I might have changed my mind about her, but wow everything she did just rubbed me the wrong way. In one chapter. One chapter and everything she did annoyed me. If that isn't a sign that I shouldn't be reading a book, I don't know what is. Even the first contact we see between the main leads had me disliking Loris-- not Saam, who I think is who we were supposed to be seeing as the a-hole there. I totally thought he was in the right. So, yeah I had to stop reading.

The thing is, these are really personal reasons for not liking or continuing this story. It probably also didn't help that I picked it up because the title reminded me of a recent favorite (Let's Get Textual). I wouldn't tell anyone not to read this one, it is definitely worth trying out.

Lorie Braddock is a competitive person. She has been that way since she was young. She brings that to her new job as a pharmaceutical sales person. She plans to be rookie of the year with the help of her team, The person standing in her way is a Dr. Saam Sherazi. He is anti-social and has already blocked one of her team from the office. Lorie is bound and determined to find a way. What happens is by accident, they end up with each others phones. It is the start of understanding why he is so rigid. He puts his patients first, sales last. Her company frowns upon personal relationships between sales and doctors. How can they work this out? Who has to give up on their dreams?

Saam is a doctor who doesn’t have the best bed-side manner because he is socially awkward. Lorie is a beauty queen who just wants people to see she has brains, so she’s going to become the best pharmaceutical salesperson there is. Even though it is unethical for them to be together, the sparks fly and they can’t help themselves.

I found the title a little misleading, as there is very little sexting in the book. I was also expecting the book to be more light hearted when in actuality the story had a very serious side to it. I really liked that Saam was a introvert and awkward with women ... that was a really nice change from the arrogant alpha.

I received an early copy courtesy of Random House-Loveswept through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

Both Lorie and Saam are super focused on their careers. They are also very attracted to each other. When they can’t seem to avoid each other they give in to the burning attraction they have. This comes with major risk and they waver on whether it’s worth it. This is a modern day romance filled with steamy scenes and an all around hot couple.

Sweet, light, love story. Good book, well written! I liked Saam and Lorie, they were both good people. I did feel the ending seemed a bit rushed.

Lorie is a rookie pharmaceutical sales rep, and Saam is the doctor no one in her sales group has been able to get to prescribe the new drug they are working on. When Lorie shows up at his office and gets a meeting with him, it is so awkward it's painful. Various things happen that cause them to have further interactions, and mutual attraction ensues once they have better conversations. Until they both realize that the dr/drug rep relationship could get them in trouble.
I felt like some of the things that happened were very predictable, and I wish there had been better development of each characters' history. It was a cute story, and I did root for them to figure it out.

This one was kind of odd. Typically when you have a character that is a little socially inept or awkward it’s in a comedy setting and this definitely wasn’t a comedy. It was really good, and I liked a lot about this book but sometimes Saam would make me cringe a little.

Special thanks to Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept for this e-ARC. Receiving I Wanna Sext You Up did not affect my rating or review.

I Wanna Sext You Up had humor, a cutesy love story and of course, smut.

The main characters, Lorie and Saam were both intriguing. Lorie's dedication to her job as a Pharmaceutical sales-rep was both interesting and refreshing. And I appreciated the genuine care Dr. Saam has for his patients. Was their relationship a bit cliche? Yes. But I think that's what I enjoyed the most about the story. We follow along their journey as they discover their intimate feelings for each other. However, their professional lives create obstacles for their personal lives. And we spend a lot of time figuring out if they will end up together or not.

The only major issue I had was the use of exotic to describe Saam and his sister's skin color. I think there are better descriptors that should've been used instead.

Other than that I think the story was for the most part enjoyable.

Lorie is a new pharmaceutical rep looking to make a big splash in her first year. She gets along great with most of the doctors she works with, but the lone hold-out is Dr. Saam Sherazi. He's rude, he's abrupt, he won't make eye contact with her, and he definitely won't prescribe any of her company's meds. But when they accidentally switch phones and later both end up as counselors at a weekend camp for kids with diabetes, they get to know each other a little better and it turns out Saam isn't nearly as much of a jerk as he seems. His focus is just on his patients when he's at the office. And Lorie can't seem to help wanting that focus on her when they're out of it. But if they start having more than a professional relationship, her job will be on the line. Can they figure out a way to both get all the things they want at work while still having each other?

This romance was a fast read that left me wanting a little more. Saam's character was well-fleshed out and jumped off the page, but Lorie was kind of bland (for a former beauty pageant contestant AND classically trained opera singer, she should have had WAY more personality). Aside from the few things they had in common that they discovered while snooping through each other's phones, I didn't really understand their connection aside from the physical chemistry between them. And I kept getting taken out of the story by odd terminology that seemed very out of place in a romance novel written in 2019 (Do any men still refer to their "peckers?" Really? That's like a WWII era euphemism.) as well as repeated references to Saam rubbing the "spiky hairs" on the back of his neck (I started counting and there were at least 5).

Apparently this is the second book in the series, and while it was ok, I'm not sure I'm terribly inclined to seek out any other installments.

**Thank you to NetGalley, Random House and LoveSwept for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!**

I Wanna Sext You Up is a cute workplace romance. The steamy doc and the drug rep maybe cliche but it worked for me. Saam is a hottie of epic proportions with the social skills of a rock. This nerdy doc has his priorities in order and his patients are #1. The sexy drug rep is the last thing he needs on his mind.

Fate, similar beliefs, and coincidence are definitely on their side. If only they would get out of their own ways!

Smiling is required but I'm pretty sure it's hard to fight while reading I Wanna Sext You Up.

This was a first read from this author and I very much enjoyed it. Lorie is a sales rep for a pharmaceutical company. She believes in her product and she wants to fast track her career. When she encounters a difficult dr she first writes him off as a jerk until a mix up leads to them having each others phones for a weekend. They begin texting each other and trying not to snoop on each others phones (they fail miserably). They realize they actually had the wrong impression of each other and admit there is a mutual attraction however it's a conflict of interest for them to act on it.

Although I was initially unsure I actually liked Lorie as a character I loved Lorie and Saam as a couple. I will definitely be reading more by this author in the future.

So intriguing!
I Wanna Sext You Up is the first book I have ever read by Evie Claire but it certainly won’t be the last. The chemistry between Saam and Lorie is off the charts. What happens when two people feel like they are off limits to each other? Pick up this book and enjoy the sexy slow burn. You won’t be disappointed.

After not loving Let's Talk About Sext, the first book in this series, I wanted to give this one a try and see if that was a one-off or not. Unfortunately, it seems like that's not the case.

I loved Saam. He's the best part of this book, just like Brody was in book one. But just as in the first book in this series, the heroine just didn't work for me. Her storyline didn't make much sense to me.

I had such a hard time getting into this book and then the ending was so abrupt that I felt like I should have given up earlier like I wanted to. Saam completely saved this book and Phebe, the heroine from book one, was so much more likable in this book than her own.

While I'm sure some will love this book, I'm thinking this is the end of the road with this author for me.

I enjoyed this book finally. I don’t know why but it took me forever to get into this story. I enjoyed Lorie & Saam, their chemistry was as amazing as their connection. I’m not sure if it was Lorie’s back & forth that stalled my attention but once I got past that I was rooting for sensibility & a happy ending. I do wish though that we knew what happened after the plane tickets. Still in all I’d recommend this book.

I enjoyed this book. It was a lighthearted and fun. The characters were great and so was the story line between Saam and Lorie. I would classify this book as cute with an insta-love feel. They were both devoted to their work, her so much that she believed they could not continue to date. Saam and Lorie find their way back to each other. Worth the read if you're into a quick, fun and easy read!

This book was an okay read for me. I felt like the author's voice got lost at certain points, going back and forth between poetic and then more humorous. I thought the conflict was well thought out but there should have been more info on what the camp does for the children to make it believable that Saam would go there. I also didn't like the fact that when they had unprotected sex, he said she didn't "look like the type" that would have STDs/STIs which is just ridiculous to say because there is no "type" of person.

This author is new to me so I had no preconceived notions. Overall, I liked the book. The plot was unique and I liked Saam and Lorie. At first, Lorie, a pharmaceutical sales rep, dismisses Saam as an “assh*le” doctor but she soon realizes that his attitude is due to his dedication to his patients. A mix-up throws the two of them together and chemistry and coincidences help build their relationship.
The author gives great background on Saam and Lorie so their actions and feelings really kept me involved in the story. I was able to sympathize with both characters and I cheered them on equally. I especially loved how Lorie stuck to her morals and didn’t compromise herself.. There was the right amount of sex and sexiness and the storyline kept me interested right up until the end. I wish that there was a bit more “angst” but I tend to prefer my romances to have more tension and a teary yet happy ending.
I’d definitely recommend this book as I appreciated the interracial aspect and it was an easy read.

Good read. Lorie is a people pleaser and very aware of her image, to the point of making everyone around her happy no matter her own feelings. Saam is very focused on his work, he's go a schedule to stick to and patients need to be his focus. Neither are looking for a relationship, actually quite the opposite, and as pharmaceutical rep and prescribing doctor more than professional relationship is not in the cards. No matter how much they have in common, or how attractive opposites can pull together they aren't in the market for anything other than business. Yeah right--fun texting/sexting secessions, fun supporting characters equals a good read.
