Professionally, Kayla Foreman has achieved everything she set out to accomplish by the age of 34. Being known as "The Dragon Lady of the 32nd Floor" by her subordinates at work is just fine with her. Well, most of the time. It does get a bit lonely sometimes, but she'd rather be feared than disrespected. And the title certainly ensures that the boring corporate stud-muffins keep their distance.
She's left her humble, small-town beginnings far behind her, but can't quite shake her taste for the rugged men from her past. One particular voyeuristic adolescent encounter with a farmhand has haunted her erotic fantasies for years. If she can just move past her cowboy fixation, she's certain she can find someone more suitable to share her life.
The answer to her problem arrives in the form of a simple business card with the words, "Your Fantasy" and a phone number printed on the front. That's it. Against her better judgment and after several lemon drop martinis, she contacts Delta of Venus Inc., and sets up an interview at the female fantasy fulfillment agency.
What she finds there isn’t the tawdry bordello-type situation she was expecting. Instead their service offers authentic, discreet and detailed scene enactments. She can have practically anything she wants. For a price, of course. And what she wants is an afternoon with the cowboy of her dreams. Maybe a riding lesson from a trained professional might just do the trick...
What Kayla doesn't count on is that her fantasy cowboy has his own plan in place, and it involves much more than just a few hours in the saddle.
This sensual erotic romance novella contains: graphic language, masturbation, a long and detailed sex scene, some very light spanking action, and one hot, cowboy.
Verena Vincent has been reading erotic romance for many years, but could never find that perfect balance of heat and romance she was looking for. She was the goldilocks of the genre, sampling various authors but either finding them too bland (not hot enough) or too spicy (kinda gross). Having written some main-stream contemporary romance novels, she decided to try her hand at writing novellas that her mother will NEVER EVER read, if she can help it. The result of that endeavor is the Delta of Venus Inc., series and the recently released paranormal erotic romance novella, "The Vampire's Last Virgin." (Recently removed from Amazon for content issues but still available from Kobo, Sony and various other ebook distribution websites.)
This novella was very sexy. Every now and again I like to swerve away from romantic-fantasy reading and just indulge in straight-up sexual fantasy. That's just what our heroine, Kayla, is attempting to do. Except she's going to make her fantasy a one-night-only reality, with help from an agency called Delta Of Venus, Inc.
Though reluctant at first, Kayla goes through with the appointment because since the tender age of 15, she's had a consuming fantasy revolving around a voyeuristic episode she had with a young cowboy. The "scene" and the "scene facilitator" end up blowing her youthful fantasies out of the water. It's SMOKING HOT!
The story is told in 3rd person from the heroine's perspective. We're not privy to Nick 's feelings or motivations until the end. But in my copy of the e-book, the deleted 3rd chapter was included at the end. It seems as if this was originally planned to be a dual-POV story, but that the author decided to let Nick remain a sexy stranger to Kayla and to the readers. I think that was a good call. I'm usually pro-hero POV, but this worked. The thing that is making me sort of wish she had done it the original way is because that deleted chapter didn't just clue us into Nick, but into another character with past heartbreak that seemed to have a story worth telling, too.
I'm definitely going to check out more of these Delta Of Venus stories.
Well written and edited, with just a few issues. This is a stand-alone book with no cliffhanger, although I would have enjoyed more pages about the "after story." This was more like 3.5 stars for me, but I rounded up.
For such a short story, the author was able to include a surprising amount of detail about the backstory and the main character's conflicted feelings, so when the heart and heat of the story takes off, it's hot, but a little sweet, too.
The author included a deleted scene, which I really enjoyed, and she asked for feedback about the scene. That scene definitely makes me want to read more of the series, but I'm not sure how she could have kept it as part of this story. It couldn't really be a prequel without ruining the suspense, it doesn't fit as an epilogue and leaving it mid-book would be distracting. So, I guess, including it as a deleted scene was the right strategy.
Recommended for those who like their romance quick and dirty, with a little sweet on the side.
I really loved the idea of a man whore / male prostitutes falling in love with an unexpected woman. The mamdam in this case the chief officer calls the scene facilitators. Sf for short. But let's just call the man whores just to have fun. It was a really hot fantasy. And a really hot man whore. Lol. These mennare experts innsatisfying womaen who pay for it. The whole fantasy. I really loved that. I would have loved, even though the story is about Kayla. To read about what was going on innNick's mind. What spas he thinking?
A nicely naughty read with some nicely naughty (and rather smokin') sex. Most girls would benefit from a hard body cowboy to fantasize about, methinks. And her fantasy translated to reality? Verrrry nice.
This book was a free Kindle download I picked up 10/31/12 for the Why Buy the Cow? reading challenge.
Dang I wish there was a Delta Venus agency around here because I would definitely sign up for these men! Again not a long story but what there was, was well written and jammed packed full of sexy and erotic and hair pulling (literally) heat. I loved the funny lines that Kayla spouted. Another Gem by Ms. Vincent and one that I recommend. Please keep them coming and maybe a nice long novel…did I say please;)
Kayla has a number of hang ups to get past, once she does this is a nice story. If she can just move past her cowboy fixation, she's certain she can find someone more suitable to share her life. I would like to read it from his point of view.
This was a steamy fantasy, taking straight laced Kayla into the heart of her wildest fantasy. I loved the twist at the end, and the bonus chapter was a nice insight into Nick. This is one hot series.
