An Acquired Taste

Rate this book
Cherri Barratt is typically not an adventurous sort of woman. But when she walks into a smoke shop to purchase a box of cigars for her father as a birthday present, she meets Rafael Mercada, a Cuban plantation owner.

A sinfully attractive, sophisticated man who knows what he wants, Rafael seduces Cherri before she knows what hits her. Slowly, he draws her into his world, revealing, bit by bit, the lifestyle he lives. He carefully prepares her, instilling in her an unexpected taste for sexual adventure...before introducing her to his best friend, Luca Reyes.

Soon, Cherri fully acquires a taste for sexy Cuban deliciousness...Rafael with a healthy dose of Luca thrown in to tempt the sexual palate. How can she resist?

About the author

Adrianna Dane (who also writes as Tess Maynard) has been putting pen to paper since the age of ten. She currently resides in the state of Washington and is a member of Romance Writers of America, EPIC. and Broaduniverse.

The first defining love story Adrianna read back in junior high school was "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, and that set her on the road to her long standing love affair with the romance genre. Her inspiration in writing often can be found by listening to song lyrics and reading poetry by such poets as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edgar Allen Poe, and Ranier Maria Rilke. But finding inspiration for her stories truly has no boundaries for Adrianna.

She freely admits she is a romantic by nature and adding sensual heat to romance with a dusting of suspense is her motto. "Esmerelda's Secret" released by Amber Quill Press in June of 2004 was Adrianna's first book, and with that story and her subsequent books has firmly established herself as a voice within the sensual/erotic romance genre.

Adrianna always looks forward to hearing from her readers and she may be contacted at adriannadane@yahoo.com. Find out more about her current releases as well as planned future releases and book signings by checking for updates at her website periodically.

This was a surprisingly good, short read about a sexy cuban man who has been waiting for a woman like Cherri to share his life with. Cherri always thought she was the plain jane type not the type that sexy and adventurous men want to spend time with, much less the rest of their life with. Well, she was wrong.
