Compromising PositionsCompromising Positions

Review

“With sensual love scenes, flirty repartee, and a man and woman clearly meant to be together, you get everything you could ever want in a romance novel. Overall, I have to say that Compromising Positions is a must read!”
~ Long and Short Reviews
"Compromising Positions would have to be one of the best contemporary romance novels I have read in a long time. Jenna Bayley-Burke delivers it all, romance, humor, and great chemistry between her hero and heroine. It is so well written. The pace is great, and the story line fantastic."
~ Fallen Angel Reviews

Product Description

Falling in love is the last thing on his busy agenda-but compromising positions can lead just about anywhere.
David Strong knows how to do a lot of things-run an international fitness company, finesse stock portfolios and stay out of emotional entanglements. That is, until he gets tangled up with Sophie Delfino and her Sensational Sex workout. He-s supposed to help her demonstrate Kama Sutra positions for her couples- yoga class. The rigorous postures require more than just physical control. And his co-instructor unexpectedly tests his control to the limit.
Sophie-s been fantasizing about David since her teens, but she never dreamed she-d actually be expected to run through her intimate desires-with an audience! The class is very professional, tame even-or it would be, if she-d been in any of the positions before. But she hasn-t-except in her wildest fantasies about David. Sophie knows she wants David in every way, and she-s flexible enough to use whatever she has to get him.
David can-t afford any unexpected distractions. Besides the sensual positions he has to endure without embarrassing himself in public, there-s an embezzler stealing from his company. And then there-s Sophie-who is well on her way to stealing his well-guarded heart.
Warning: This is one exercise program you won-t need to consult your doctor before beginning-unless he-s hot and available for house calls. The Kama Sutra isn-t for the prudish or faint of heart, and neither is this story.

4 Steps to Lose the Buddha (Belly)



  1. No more sit-ups! I've tried many ab gadgets and committed to several determined bouts of daily crunch torture on my road to fitness – and I never got anywhere. Sound familiar? Forget the isolated exercises. Many of the fittest people on earth – from Navy SEALs to professional athletes – never do a single sit-up and shun crunches. In fact, some military training guides actually discourage isolated abdominal exercises. There are many paths to sleek abs, so if crunches happen to work for you, please skip this post. I personally recommend following a fitness regimen that is comprehensive in nature. While isolated movements can tone individual muscle groups, for true core fitness, it's better to do integrated exercises that strengthen your entire body – with defined abs being the happy side effect. Point 5 will explain this further, but two simple, highly-effective integrative exercises you can try are the standing weighted arm lift and the hot potato .
  2. Lose weight. (I know, I know!) Many fitness guides will instruct you in all manner of stomach exercises, and we've all seen those “sexy abs in just three minutes” infomercials!Save your money. Until you drop excess pounds, you simply won't see your abs, whatever their state of fitness. (Yes, your abs – everyone has a natural six-pack under there somewhere!) Lose weight and your abs will show up quite nicely, even if you never do a single sit-up. Men generally need to maintain about 8-14% body fat; women should add 10 to that.
  3. Reduce empty calories drastically . Lose the belly roll by eliminating as many sources of empty calories from your diet as possible. Yes, this means carbs! Not only do empty calories prompt bouts of irritability, headaches, cravings, mood swings, and possible nutritional deficiencies, empty calories readily convert to fat in the midsection. If you've read Tim Ferris's success story with the “slow carb” diet or heard of Atkins (and I know you have!), you already know where I'm going with this. Cutting empty carbohydrates and sugars out of your life will not only trim your middle; you'll reduce your risk of diabetes, too. That said, I don't think you have to become a bloodthirsty carnivore or suffer on low-carb beer for the rest of your life. That's an approach that is certainly immoderate and definitely not healthy. But do cut back on refined, worthless calories from cakes, cookies, pastries, crackers, chips, big bowls of pasta, and white bread.
  4. Going a step further, eliminate all liquid calories . Most of us are aware that soda is full of nothing but sugar (or unhealthy sugar substitutes like corn syrup). But be mindful of drinking any calories. Many coffee drinks are essentially glorified milkshakes, and smoothies that contain ice cream and juice instead of real fruit and protein powder are no better. And while it's commonly accepted that juice is healthy, I suggest cutting back. Even 100% juice is still going to spike your blood sugar. A real piece of fruit provides fiber and fills you up; juice just gives you extra calories you don't need.  4 life lessons learned from lose weight
