When Sean O’Callahan is sent to war he keeps in touch with Eve Carmichael through the mail.  The letters start off innocent enough, just something from home to keep him going. Then they get progressively more suggestive until they are both starving for one another.  As Eve’s thirty-fifth birthday approaches and she hasn’t heard from Sean in weeks, she can’t help but be sick with worry about him.  No matter how much she tries to tell herself to go with her friends to a male review and find a flesh and blood man to satiate the needs that Sean’s letters have created she can’t get the hunky soldier out of her head. 

MALE CALL is a great representation of long distance love and how much easier it is to express your feelings without inhibition when you aren’t face to face with the other person.  The author has done a brilliant job of creating sparks between two people who aren’t even physically together throughout most of the story.  Don’t let that fool you though; there is enough heat between Sean and Eve to turn their letters into ashes!  

The author has almost written a book inside a book.  The entire story is based on the correspondence between Sean and Eve and the mental pictures they attempt to create for themselves, as the author tries in turn to have the reader picture Sean and Eve.  Somewhat genius in this reviewer’s opinion!  

Ms. Agnew is a great author and MALE CALL is a great book!
