When she meets Beck, the massively built, tattooed biker, who is staying across the hall, Emmie wonders if she's stepped too far out of her sensible life or if she's found just what she was looking for.

Three delicious novellas that I devoured rapidly!
July 21, 2016
Silk Stocking Inn Contained three standalone stories: Red Velvet, Salted Carmel, and Mocha Latte.
Jessi acquired the VP status at work but was missing the right man. Not just any man but a man that swept her off her feet and kissed her with passion and set her sheets on fire. Jessi was in control in the workplace but wanted to be dominated in the bedroom.
Jessi's quest for success had, somehow, left her without a lot of close friends and left without the right man to come home to.
It seemed Jessi's life was now being directed by bossy technological beings. First her computer prompted her to the Silk Stocking Inn website then her phone was giving her directions to a gothic dilapidated mansion.
Jessi met the handyman Grayson, who was more than handy with his tools. Grayson was a dream come true. Grayson and Jessi steamed up the pages of my kindle.
The story was erotic with a side of red velvet. Actually Grayson was the preferred dessert and meal but Jessi could not seem to resist the red velvet cupcakes that Coco made.
The concept was questionable, but the sexy handyman more than made up for the the concept. It was a short quick erotic story. I would rate Red Velvet 3stars.
Emmie was bored of doing the same thing and being with David's friends. Emile wanted a wild night of sex to set her loins on fire. Emmie no longer craved the straight laced executive aristocrat. Emmie was desiring a man clad with beard and tattoos who had a motorcycle. Emmie the Librarian craved a man in a leather jacket and boots.
That notorious website made its way onto Emmie's computer with promises of filing her heart's desire. Intrigued by the notion that the Silk Stocking Inn could offer a man who will make her happy prompted her to read further. The house made fantasies come true even for a librarian who wanted a motorcycle man.
The second story added more information about the house and Coco. While the house at first appeared scary, upon further inspection was quite charming. The house and the baker came alive once a houseguest filled it with a love connection.
While the story's shared some similarities the male fantasies were different. The second story took longer to connect the two characters. The librarian seemed more hesitant than the VP from the first story. Rated 3 stars
On to the final fantasy. Becca a focused career woman grew tired and bored with her six year relationship. Becca found herself in front of the Silk Stocking Inn eating a Mocha Latte cupcake while under the seductive eyes of Jackson the cowboy.
While some things remain the same at the Inn such as cupcakes what Coco offers to her guests like being able to adapt activities to her clientele is different in each story depending upon the fantasy of the character. In this case the producer was fantasizing about horses when Coco created the cowboy from the fog. The Inn had a form of magic that pushed the spunky producer and cowboy together.
The Inn provided the proper outfit fitting for the occasion, the meal, the bathtub, and the linen napkin with words of wisdom. Each fantasy was arranged through the magic of Coco who had mind reading capabilities. Rated 3 stars
The series offered a variety of fantasies and a few variances of sexual preferences but for the most part each story was the same. Each found themselves at the Inn, invited by Coco who enticed them with cupcakes and the man of their dreams. All ended the same way with a smile on their face and an ache between their legs.

RED VELVET:
I liked Grayson's sense of humor, "he laughed. “So, I’m really just a sex object in work boots, huh?” I opened my mouth to apologize. “No, that’s all right,” he said. “I kind of like that.” Grayson is a burly man and I loved his accent, “I’m the real deal, darlin’, but in case you need some solid proof —” He pulled me into his arms. His mouth covered mine, and I melted against him as he kissed me long and hard." I really enjoyed this book it was short, but hot.
SALTED CARAMEL:
I really liked Beck, he seemed like a great guy, and the man was a huge ego booster, “see, that’s why I like being with a bookish woman. Not many women make the word ‘nebulous’ sound so effing hot. And I don’t even know what the hell it means.” I really liked Beck's attitude, “you better effing believe it, sweetheart. It’s not easy to create art when you’re fighting a raging erection.” He released me. “Go ahead. I can take the criticism. I’ve got a tough shell.” Beck is one to speak his mind, “ready?” He stopped and glanced down at the dress. “That was a stupid damn question. How the eff do you expect me to last through a pitcher of beer at the bar when you’re dressed like that, sweetheart? Hell, we might not even make it to the place.” I enjoyed this book Beck was a great man
MOCHA LATTE:
Sometimes Jackson just acts on his actions and damn if it wasn't sexy, “interested?” A short laugh followed as he raked his fingers through his dark hair. “Looking at you standing there in that sexy nightgown , Becca, gives interested a whole new meaning.” He took hold of my arm and pulled me into his strong embrace. His mouth came down hard over mine." Jackson just oozes confidence, “I can give you a much better ride than any ole’ horse.” I loved Jackson this one I'm thinking is my favorite out of the series I always love me some cowboys, each book just got better to be honest. I'm hoping there's more to come.

I love everything Tess Oliver reads there is no way around this statement- it is true. I have read the Silk Stocking Inn: Box Set 1: Sexy Standalone Romances, and I have a reviews up for all of these great stories on my Goodreads and Amazon page!
The first book called Red Velvet introduces us to The Silk Stocking Inn, and the woman who runs it! Coco is a mystery as you will see, and her philosophy is: "There's a fine line between reality and fantasy and all it takes is the right amount of desire to cross that line." ! I just know you will love her and she creates magic in all of the women that go there.
Book 2, called Salted Caramel has Coco telling Emmie:
"Only your heart can lead you to a happy ending." She puts all these sayings on napkins that she hand embroidered herself!
Book 3, Mocha Latte, has Coco telling Rebecca: "Sometimes you've got to look to your past to find your future." Each woman has not been happy in love so when they go to The Silk Stocking Inn, with a little of Coco's help and wisdom, they just may find their happily ever after.
At the end of each book is a recipe for cupcakes! Try them out, they are so good! I gave all the books in this series 5*****, and I hope that Tess will write more stories about events at The Silk Stocking Inn, a fine way to spend your lunch hour reading, or after dinner curling up with a glass of your favorite beverage and enjoying a great story!
