The Way She Reads

This is a short and hot read.

Combined with the blurb I could basically leave my review there; it says it all. I will however expand on that thought a little bit.

I knew this was a short story before I started the book so I can’t say I was disappointed there wasn’t more to it. I had however hoped to get to know the characters a little bit better. And the author created the perfect opportunity to flesh them out a bit when she created a dinner scene. It is a shame that, in my opinion, she didn’t make better use of that setting to give the reader a clearer picture of what made these two, very sexy men, tick.

As it is we have Jesse, who doesn’t seem to have anything on his mind beyond the hotness of his French tutor and the sexual fantasies resulting from that attraction. And, since the story is told from Jesse’s point of view, we have even less insight into what might be going on in Corwin’s head.

What we do get are two very hot encounters between two equally hot men in what looks like the beginning of a steamy BDSM-based relationship. Corwin supplied just the right balance between domineering and tender while Jesse was charming as he discovers how much he enjoys submitting to his teacher’s commands and taking his punishment in the form of a solid spanking.

With this being a short story we do not get a happy ever after. However the story did end in a tone which suggested these two men have every opportunity to create a happy and steamy future for the two of them.

French Lessons is an easy to read, smoothly written short. The story pulls you in and allows you to lose yourself in a sexual fantasy. If you’re in the mood for a hot story you can read in one sitting; if you’re are looking for two hot men giving you steamy encounter to lose yourself in, French Lessons may well be the story for you.
