Minute by Minute by Jo Leigh

After spending a year talking over the Internet, yet never seeing each other in person nor even talking to each other on the phone, Alex Rosten takes it the next level by sending a pair of all expense paid tickets to an island paradise to his chat buddy Meg Becker. From the minute they meet each other, the attraction was obvious and it merely a matter of time until they make love.

I like the idea of letting the story last just 24 hours and using the chat in the beginning of the book to provide the back story and tone. The sexual tension is there from the beginning and is very well done. I also liked the role Charlie played in the story, though I wish Jo had added a few more encounters with him and had started them earlier in the story.

Bottom line: A very good book
