| Reviews for The Flavor of Summer |
| Joyfully Recommended at Joyfully Reviewed.com "Every so often you come across a book that just grabs your attention and doesn’t let go; The Flavor of Summer is such a book for me. I admit, I must have re-read this book a dozen times in the couple of weeks I’ve had it. It isn’t just the book’s “sexy factor” which pulls me to it, though Ms. Marlowe dishes that out in spades. What continually draws me to The Flavor of Summer is that the book has heart. Quite simply, David and Ariel are lovable characters and I keep returning to their story out of a fondness for them." Read the full review: Joyfully Reviewed Blue Ribbon rating 4.5 from Romance Junkies "Ms. Marlowe paints a world that screams with accuracy. Emotions grab you on the edge of your seat, and hope starts to beat in your heart. Will these two have their reunion this time? The world of D/s is beautifully portrayed, and it is very commendable that Ms. Marlowe wrote about the lifestyle as it is and as it takes place, and didn’t glamorize it or stretch it into what most may believe it to be." Read the full review: Romance Junkies Five Stars from Just Erotic Romance Reviews "I recommend The Flavor of Summer for its well-written emotional connection between the main characters and the exploration of their sexual connection in a new domination\submission relationship." Read the full review: Just Erotic Romance Reviews Five Kisses from Two Lips Reviews "Who knew accountants could be so deliciously kinky? Don’t miss Ms. Marlowe’s The Flavor of Summer, a wonderful novel of one man willing to go the distance to meet his lover’s needs." Read the full review: Two Lips Reviews |

| Lyra Marlowe erotic romance that breaks a few rules |
| Everyone thought she was an easy lay, but what she really needed was a better Dom. After 10 years, David has one chance to claim his dream girl: but he'll have to become that Dom and give up vanilla forever. The first time David saw Ariel, she was pinned against the lockers, being finger-fucked by a football player – and smiling. He never forgot that smile. But he let her get away. Ten years later, a summer class reunion brings him another chance. Ariel is still beautiful, free and erotically unpredictable; David, even in his own mind, is dull as dry toast. She wants to be sexually dominated – by him. He'd be happy just to get laid. But with the help of the Internet, an experienced Dom who's willing to give advice, and Ariel's drawer full of toys, he'll take a shot at being everything she wants and needs. Twenty-four hours of submission, bondage, erotic toys and one old-fashioned spanking convince David that Ariel's sexual preferences suit him perfectly. But if they're going to stay together, they'll have to deal with other issues: The suffocating summer heat. The specter of Ariel's free-love past. The disapproval of their old classmates. Their mutual insecurities. And maybe the most important question: Can a dedicated tax accountant really be happy with a woman who never balances her checkbook? Whatever happens, the flavor of their summer isn't going to be vanilla any more. Read an Excerpt Buy the Book Amazing cover thanks to Christine M. Griffin. |
