Written by a former adult entertainer, the author knows just what it takes to stir erotic emotions in readers and get them thinking about wild things. In Secrets & Seduction, Cheri Blossum creates characters that readers want to follow. Janet meets a guy online and what starts casually quickly escalates into an erotic adventure that will explore the depths of sensual pleasure. While this is a hugely erotic novel, bold and daring, it does have a strong plot, one that is intelligently crafted to thrill readers. It is about sex, intimacy, but there is a rawness in language and deed that explores the animal part of the human being. The plot deftly moves away from the normal clichés and takes a path of its own. I adored the characters and the way the author explores them. The author fills scenes with elements that create excitement, both in readers as well as the characters, with sexual paraphernalia suggestive of extreme sexual experiences. The plot is beautiful and suspenseful, carefully crafted to tease readers and to build the tension in them. Cheri Blossum creates a story that will grip fans of Fifty Shades of Gray but it stands apart from the many others in the genre. The plot is not just about sex. It is about characters that explore their sexuality and the steamy experiences are calculated and spread out in the story in a way that creates balance while allowing readers to explore the characters, the strong themes, and to enjoy the beauty of the prose. Secrets & Seduction is the kind of book you don't read in public. It fulfills its promise and leaves readers wanting more.
