Art was not only a passion of Machiko Barrett, but also a destiny…a way of life she has known since her talent was discovered at three years old. Caught in a turbulent storm of celebrity, scandal and corruption, she disappeared from the art world only to re-emerge fifteen years later as an au pair to the two young children of renowned Parisian gallery owners. Her sheltered existence is disrupted when she is lured back to her one true passion: painting.

While Machiko struggles to find her own identity through her art, she encounters Caleb Holden, a sexy, unpredictable and irresistible neighbor with a penchant for collecting art, and women. As he discovers the girl within the woman, the secrets of Machiko's past return to haunt her, revealing scars she never knew existed. She must learn to conquer her fears and allow him into her heart or risk slipping back into a cold, lonely world that once held her spirit captive. Through Caleb's determination to educate Machiko about trusting herself and her abilities, he opens her eyes to the art of sensuality, and awakens the woman buried deep inside the broken girl.

On a hot summer night, Cassie manages to find inspiration from the least likely places. Not only Megan and Trevor, but their neighbors Gail and Dean demonstrate that everything isn’t as it seems, that love takes many guises. Even Craig is full of surprises on their night out, showing Cassie how hot a summer night can be. You’ll race through this, but the images linger; always the sign of a good read!

The characters are very real, their lives drawn in clear detail so that you feel for them and their struggles. Unlike a lot of shorter erotic stories this one really worked for me, and the sex scenes were very hot and intense. Brava to Jenna Allen for a story well told.

I loved this funny tale. Cassie tries everything she can think of in order to spice up their sex life and save her marriage. The characters are wonderfully portrayed and the lives believable between these pages. This is a great read from Ms. Allen. I look forward to more from her in the future.

Joyfully Reviewed
A great read! I liked how Cassie realized that the lack of a sex life meant that her marriage needed help, and searched for a solution. Ms. Allen is an author I'll be sure to read again.

Erotic Romance Reviews for Women
Jenna Allen does a great job portraying three young wives and
their struggles and accomplishments in keeping there marriages interesting and their husbands excited. The plot is a good one and progresses with each encounter the wives have with their husbands. The sex scenes were vivid and stimulating. They added to the heat of one sweltering night in a neighborhood much like any neighborhood, and make you wonder what your neighbors are doing when their lights go out.

I enjoy this story, especially in how the author compares the
hot-and-beautiful couple of Megan and Trevor having sex to the out-of-shape couple of Dean and Gail getting it on only to prove that hot sex isn't exclusive to Kens and Barbies of the world. The sex is frank, coarse, explicit, and erotic, with an underlying strong romantic undercurrent in the explicit scenes especially between Megan and Trevor. A truly an inspiring read as it gives me an insight as to how an author can actually combine elements of erotica and romance and come out with a fun and sexy read. I really want more. My toes aren't curled enough. Why can't this
story be longer? Dang.

This is a good and hot read! I wish it was a bit longer, as I was so curious to find out more about the couple. Jenna Allen pleased me with how well her characters came to life on these pages.
