I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Sometimes you just need an afternoon snack to get you through the rest of your day; a snack that is satisfying and filling but still leaves you wanting more. The Estate by Sarah O'Rourke is exactly that - the perfect snack to reinvigorate you and get you through the rest of your to do list, the kids' homework, and your family demanding dinner."It's time to blow the dust off your dick, Grayson."Grayson Chambers has come to The Estate at the invitation of his friend Marcus Samuels . Grayson had recently lost his beloved wife and couldn't shake the funk he had been in. Marcus knew that Grayson just need a weekend to lose himself in nothing by physical satisfaction.Marc has always been attracted to Grayson, but he also cares for him deeply. He believes that the alluring atmosphere at The Estate will help him in his quest to not only help Grayson but bring the two men closer together.Maggie Stone comes to The Estate once a month to feed her sensual side and escape the pressures of her life as a judge. At The Estate she becomes Ice, a siren who is ready to melt in the arms of a lover.Together the three lovers embark on a spicy, torrid, steamy journey as they lose their inhibitions and live out their wildest fantasies.What Ms. O'Rourke has accomplished in only 62 pages is amazing. Despite being a novella, the characters are well-developed and as the reader you are pulled into caring about these three individuals. The dialogue flows smoothly as it switches between characters without any confusion. Ms. O'Rourke doesn't waste a lot of time on lengthy descriptions of each room in The Estate. Instead, she uses a few, well-selected words to jumpstart your imagination to picture the sensual playground. This frees her up focus on the action in the bedroom.And what action it is. The chemistry between the three leaps off the page. For an erotic novella, the sex was surprisingly erotic rather than just slutty. Ms. O'Rourke's descriptions brought the sex scenes to life in such a way as to entice and invite me in rather than make me want to wash off. In fact, it was so steamy that I ended up hot and breathless and needed a cold shower.I loved the idea of The Estate. We could all use a place where we can escape from the stresses of our everyday lives and lose ourselves in our carnal desires. The only rule at The Estate - what happens at The Estate stays at The Estate.The Estate is the first in a new series and I look forward to the next installment. Ms. O'Rourke made me wish that her fantasy was my reality. From the moment I picked up the book, I couldn't put it down. Hurry up and book your room at The Estate. You won't be disappointed.
