One elevator. Two people who might never have met.Nyall Anderson, Seattle’s tech startup king, doesn’t do commitment and never loses his cool. He has no time for chatty virgins who blurt out their life stories in elevators.Curvy caterer Janey Pankowski knows all about hot, rich dynamos like Nyall. His type never looks at boring virgins like her, which is good, because all she wants is a nice, … because all she wants is a nice, normal guy she can settle down with in the suburbs.
Then the elevator gets stuck…
Now Janey’s considering the most tempting proposition of her life: Let this gorgeous playboy teach her how to not be a virgin. All she has to do is give him something in return. The question is, what could a man like Nyall want from a woman like her?
A sizzling hot, laugh-out-loud, feel-good romantic comedy with a bit of a “Pride and Prejudice” feel to it, with a dash of Cinderella.
Note: Book 1 ends at a natural stopping point. Janey and Nyall’s story continues in Book 2.
This is not a “sweet & clean” romance. It contains raunchy language and adult situations and features a passionate, dirty-talking hero.

My Rating: FIVE DELICIOUSLY CUTE STARS*****
Wow! Deana Farrady knocked it out of the park – again with Heat Exchange, the first book in The Virgin Files Duet, and it’s absolutely delightful! I snickered, snorted, sniffed, snuffled, and giggled through the entire book! I fell head over heels for Farrady’s work five years ago after reading The Alpha Billionaire’s Revenge, a deliciously dark and sinfully erotic contemporary romance serial with strong interwoven elements of revenge and suspense, and became completely hooked on her passionate prose. But after experiencing the dark romance of The Alpha Billionaire’s Revenge, I was quite surprised with the contrast of Heat Exchange. It’s not dark, depraved, or dangerous; it’s light, crisp, fresh, sexy, cute, and outrageously humorous. I loved it! The narrative is beautifully written, and the dialogue flows beautifully. But the pièce de résistance of this sexy romp is the characters, the driving force of this contemporary romantic comedy. They are realistic, engaging, relatable and at times, laugh out loud funny. I admit, I adore a steamy romantic comedy and let’s face it, we all know that the two primary characters have to be strong enough to support the entire book. And Farrady delivers in spades with the two protagonists of this story, beautiful, somewhat naive self-employed caterer/owner of Nutless Wonders Janey Pankowski and handsome, billionaire start-up king and CEO of Sonneman Anderson Research Group Nyall Anderson. The attraction between these two is immediate and their sexual chemistry is off the charts hot! I was immediately drawn into the story by these two characters and once I started reading, I simply could not stop. Another thing I really enjoy about Farrady’s style and this book, in particular, is she moves her stories along at a brisk but comfortable pace. There’s no dead filler but she does skillfully include the necessary backstory and details needed in order to enjoy the story without useless information and empty dialogue. It’s a breath of fresh air! Farrady is an exceptionally gifted storyteller and talented writer, and I can hardly wait to see what she has in store for this couple next. But I digress, let’s talk about the premise for Heat Exchange.
Beautiful, curvaceous Janey Pankowski has a huge problem, more like an albatross hanging around her very boring neck. No, she’s not an orphan, she’s not homeless and she doesn’t need a job. She has a large family, her own apartment and owns her own successful catering business, Nutless Wonders. Her problem is simple and quite unique. She’s single, never had a real boyfriend, has absolutely no prospects, no social life and…..she’s a twenty-nine-year-old virgin! What? Yup, that’s right – a twenty-nine-year-old virgin who has no experience with sex at all! Oh my! How did that happen? Or the better question may be, how did it not happen? Oh my! She does a great job at playing matchmaker for everyone but herself and it’s driving her a little nuts. (Sorry, terrible pun) What’s a girl to do?!? Why, take the bull by the horns, be more aggressive and ask a guy for a date. Sadly, all the guys have declined her invitations and now Janey is suffering from lack of confidence and low self-esteem. She’s on her way to her latest catering job when she receives her latest rejection by email. Wow, her luck can’t get much worse, right? Wrong! On the way up, Janey becomes trapped in the elevator with only one other person – a guy and he’s a very hot, very handsome guy who totally ignores her and seems not to notice or care that she even exists. Oh my! This man is so out of her league and would never be interested in someone like her, right? Wrong again! Apparently, Mr Out-Of-Her-League may be quite interested, especially after Janey starts nervously babbling and inadvertently reveals she’s an inexperienced virgin. Oh my! And no one could be more surprised than Janey when Mr Out-Of-Her-League volunteers to give her an orgasm – her very first from a man! Oh goodness! And right there in the elevator! Sweet bejeezus! And then he volunteers to be her sex coach for a week! What? What’s a twenty-nine-year-old virgin to do? Accept, of course! He may be a cocky, out-of-her-league hottie but a girl can’t refuse the opportunity of a lifetime, right? Certainly none of the long list of women he provided as references refused him! Huh? Sex partner references? Oh, yes, and every single one of them talks as if he hung the moon? Hmm….Maybe her luck isn’t so bad after all!
Wealthy, successful businessman Nyall Anderson can’t believe he’s trapped in an elevator on the way to his dentist’s appointment with a ditsy, chattering albeit beautiful young woman who admits to being a twenty-nine-year-old virgin. What the heck? That’s not even possible in this day and age, is it? Well, there’s one way to find out and he’s just the player…um….man for the job! Yup, Nyall’s a real player with a bevy of beautiful mistresses….um…friends/sex partners at his beck and call. He’s the total package – money, charm, confidence and good looks. And an ex-wife that taught him two very valuable lessons, no relationships – ever, and his business always comes first! Sex partners and friends only – until the irresistible little brunette in the elevator! How can any man walk away from a cutie like her, regardless of whether she’s a virgin or not? He’s only human, right? He could be totally selfless by volunteering to pop her cherry and be her sex coach for a week. Regrettably, he now has two little problems. One, he can no longer concentrate on business. Heck, he can’t concentrate on anything but having wild, passionate and frequent sex with Janey and two, he’s totally unprepared for his reaction when she tries to leave him high and dry after the first night. Oh my! What’s a guy to do! Whatever it takes to get her to stay, of course! After all, they do have a bargain and he did promise to deflower her in exchange for her teaching him how to cook! Maybe business isn’t so important and just maybe, relationships aren’t all bad. Now if he can just convince her to get rid of her prejudice and stop judging him because he’s wealthy! He’s just a regular, ordinary kind of guy who may be totally hung up on an ordinary, regular girl, right? Oh my! We’ll see! Buckle up, my lovelies! It’s a deliciously cute, sinfully sexy and outrageously funny ride!
Did I like this book? I didn’t just like Heat Exchange; I loved it! What did I love about this story? Everything! What didn’t I like? Not a darn thing! Would I recommend this book? You bet and I am but only for adults since it does contain some steam, dreamy sex scenes. Will I read this author again? Absolutely, just as soon as she releases her next book and I can hardly wait! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
I absolutely love this hot, steamy, captivating book with exceptional characters in an erotic world that is so realistic it felt like I was on the journey with them. I recommend reading this book by an extraordinary author that knows how to captivate the attention of their readers
