Is it possible for a fantasy to turn into reality?Dominick Alvarez is a forty-one year old college professor in need of some company. After the scare of a potential scandal with a younger woman years before, he's kept his libido in check despite finding himself attracted to many of his female students. Needing the release, and unable to find a woman his age to fill his needs, he contacts Madame Eve in hopes of finding his fantasy.Alexandria Petron is trying to heal her broken heart-kind of. Left at the altar by the man she expected to live with for the rest of her life, she's realizing she was marrying him more out of obligation than love. What is she to do now? Since she finds herself attracted to older men, she signs up with 1Night Stand in the hopes of finding a man who will dominate and pleasure her the way she's always wanted.Without a doubt, the sex in this book is smoking. The attraction between Dominick and Alex is immediate and the developing connection between them was very enjoyable. They were the perfect candidates for a one night stand - Alex wanting a dominating man and Dominick fantasizing about a schoolgirl (down to the pigtails in her hair).Beyond their one night of passion is unfortunately where the story falls flat. I love the 1Night Stands for their genius combination of passion, fulfillment, and love. These two began having sex almost immediately after meeting, but barely had a conversation during their tryst. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's hard to picture a long-lasting relationship when given no reason for the two to stay together. I saw each as using the other to recover from past hurts, not necessarily meeting their soul mate. When their thoughts turned into wanting more with the other person, I began to wonder why - there hadn't been much in the way of developing their emotional attraction, just the physical. If left as a one night stand, this couple would have walked away satisfied.Despite the flaws, this was a fun, quick read. If you're looking for a smoking hot tale of an older man with a younger woman, this is one to look into.Originally posted at Long and Short Reviews
