Title: Rees
Author: Allyson James
Series: Tales of the Shareem (Book 1)
Published By: Ellora's Cave
Genre: Science Fiction Erotica
The Shareem. Males created to be tall, muscled, sexy, and…enhanced. They come in one of three levels pure sensual pleasure, games and wicked fun, or the ultimate barbarian complete with whip. They know how to bring a woman to ecstasy and exactly how to keep her there.
When Lady Talan d'Urvey reads the diary of a woman who spent one wicked week with a Shareem, she longs to experience the same carnality in one last fling before she takes her vow of celibacy. She goes in search of a Shareem and finds Rees, tall and blond, with Shareem-blue eyes. Just looking into those eyes makes Talan wild with need.
But Rees is a Shareem experiment that never should have been made. Rees is all the Shareem levels rolled into one, and then some. Rees is uncontrollable, Rees is unpredictable. Even Rees's creators could never, ever be sure exactly what he would do.
My Thoughts:
I can honestly say that after this book I am a fan of Allyson James, and without any doubt I will be reading more from this series. I downloaded this from Amazon for free but after reading it and being pleasantly surprised I don't think I would mind paying for the others.
I'll start of with what I did like...which was most of the story actually. The world James created was wonderful and thought out, and even had history. The writing was clearly the work of someone who knows the art and it didn't feel like some cheap fan-fic you read when no one is around. I loved the idea of the Shareem and the amount of detail that went into them. They are not just men created for sex, they are men who very good at what they do and they even have different levels for it. The main character, Talan, was delightful and sweet, and I enjoyed reading about her journey to understand her body and desires. She's naive but not embarrassingly so. Then of course there is Rees, and oh how I love him. He's sexy, smart and even capable of humor. Talk about melt worthy...of course there is the matter of his size, which of course was a little much for me. 12 inches...that got a laugh and a cringe out of me at the same time. I also like Rio and I'll probably read through the second book just so I can get to the book that focuses on him. The sex was great of course and it varied throughout, it was hot when it needed to be and soft when necessary. I think what I liked the most about this is that there was an actual story behind it, and the character development was unique.
Now for the things I didn't like. Well it's really one thing and that was the word 'cream'. It's used a lot. At some points it was fine but at others I found it a little icky or annoying. It wasn't enough to throw off the story or mood but it's used enough that you make a mental note of it.
Overall a very enjoyable read. It does have some M/F/M, and some BDSM (though I didn't find it to be extreme).
