Destructively Alluring (Allure, #1) - N. Isabelle Blanco This novella length story is written entirely from a man's point of view which is new to me. I actually ended up liking it a lot! The lean toward sex is explained right there, lol! 3.5 StarsSo yeah....the book is mostly about sex...but it worked!*****Before sex, there's Dorian's lusting after his hot little intern who just happens to a family friend's nineteen year old daughter. She's inexperienced but NOT a virgin (thank goodness). He can't keep his little head from hurting (really bad...this was a theme of the story...his dick hurt a lot) when Demi's around. "What are you thinking right now?" I asked, needing to know if she was having any misgivings about what we were going to do."That you make me ache," Demi said..."*****During sex....my goodness, these two get it on for a long, long, long time....AHEM!!!! Dorian really likes Demi's everything! And he's very good at showing her a good time and proving that she's never had - and never will have another man like him. He shocks himself when he can't get enough of her. He wants her over...and over...and over again."Desire was a ridiculous and inconsequential label. It would never suffice, would never be enough to describe what I felt for her. Huger was just as paltry of a term.Greed was the only thing that came close."*****After sex Dorian realizes that they are still in the beginning stages of this 'relationship.' The age difference between them (He's 30, she's 19) is a huge obstacle, and the fact that her father has entrusted Demi into his care is another. They both know they need time to sort things out. I love that this ends with no angst, no tears, no big cliffhangers. This is a couple that desires each other, have a lustfully delicious beginning to their relationship, and decide that they desire more than sexual fulfillment. That's it. The rest is up to my imagination. What a great way to end a short story like this! No allusions to a grand love or lifetime commitment...just a realistic conclusion that they admire, respect, and desire each other.
