LauraJ’s review of Satin Seduction by L.A. Day
Contemporary Erotic Romance eBook released by Ellora’s Cave 11 Jun 08

This is the first book by Ms. Day that I have read. I know I’ve said this before, but short stories are a really good way to get a feel for authors and their writing style. Ms. Day’s books are ones that I’ve been wanting to try for a while so when this one became available, I wanted to see if I would like her writing.

In this story, Nicole works as a lingerie designer at Satin Seduction. She is a full-figured woman. She goes to the Jake, the CEO of the company to present some designs for a new line that she would like to start at the company. Jake has been attracted to Nicole for some time so when she comes to him with this new idea Jake agrees to here her presentation but only if she models her designs for him. Nicole has had the hots for Jake but thinks he couldn’t possibly be attracted to her. She was engaged to man who constantly made her aware of her size. Jake wants to make sure she that he likes her just the way she is.

These are two fantastic characters. Nicole, despite the emotional abuse by her ex-fiancé is still a confident and vibrant woman. Jake does make her a little nervous at first and in the beginning she does question his attraction to her, but Jake is a guy every woman should have around. He quickly became one of my favorite heroes in the books I’ve read this year.

I really enjoyed this story and I’m going to be looking for more from Ms. Day.

Grade: B

Summary:

Full-figured Nicole dreams of designing a line of lingerie that flatters a Rubenesque figure. When she approaches her new boss with her ideas, he is receptive to the point of asking her to model the line for him. She’s hesitant to bare her rounded curves to her hottie boss. How can this sexy man possibly find her attractive? Nicole gathers her courage and agrees — if he’ll strip to his briefs.

Jake has wanted Nicole since he bought the company and he isn’t going to let this opportunity pass. Their modeling session turns passionate but he doesn’t want just one night — he wants forever. And he wants Nicole confident and eager. To accomplish that, Jake must rebuild Nicole’s self image.

How can Jake show this woman how beautiful he finds her? Sometimes pictures speak louder than words. Especially naughty pictures. Cameras don’t lie, though beauty is more than skin deep.
