Hot Georgia Winds

TropicalWinds #4

by Charlotte Boyett-Compo

Brandy Fontanelle had been trained since childhood in how to use his well-honed body for pleasure. The most expensive gigilo in Madame Marianne’s stable, he was the most sought after companion at the Rising Syn, his favors well worth the hefty price Madame charged for his services. In his expert hands, every woman melted, relinquishing whatever he asked to his blazing desire.

When Marie Castile walked into the House of the Rising Syn in New Orleans, she looked into the face of the one man she knew God had chiseled by hand. She thrilled at the tender smile hovering on the young man’s seductive lips and the knowing gleam in his eyes that sent her pulses to racing. With his dark good looks and delectable body, she knew she had to have him—not just for one night, not for a weekend, but for the rest of her life.

Though she hired out his body for the use of any woman who could meet the price, Madame had no intention of ever giving Brandy his freedom. He belonged to her and God help the woman or man who tried to take him from her!

[Normandie Alleman · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this book. It had some formatting problems on my Kindle which made it difficult to read - without that it would have been a 5 stars for sure. It was funny and cute with a great plot. The writing was great, I'd recommend it if you're interested in cougar/cub erotic romance.

The sexiest older-woman younger man romance ever! Plus it has a steamy Southern setting with all kinds of shady goings on. It's just like TRUEBLOOD without the vampires!
