I had recently downloaded "Ten Shades of Sexy" on my Kindle which is book of 10 sexy "scenes" from 10 different romance authors.  One of these scenes was from Allyson James in her series "Tales of the Shareem".  This scene was from Justin, book 6 in the series, and it was hot and steamy enough to make me want to puchase the book and read what was in store for the two main characters.I'm not normally a fan of starting a series anywhere but from the beginning, but decided to start with Justin's book instead.  While I plan on reading the entire series from the beginning, I think this author did a great job at giving just enough information and back story to have this book stand on it's own and allow a reader like me to jump right in at the middle and be able to understand the characters and the world she created.Justin is a male who is a member of the created Shareem. The Shareem are strong and virile males who were created for the sole purpose of giving unbelievable pleasure to women.  They are broken down into 3 levels within their species ranging from a great lover to a great lover who will push your limits to the max.  There are very few places left where Shareem can live freely and are instead patrolled and watched closely.  Any small step out of line can cause them to be imprisoned or terminated.Deanna is a Patroller who is responsible for keeping a close watch and enforcing the laws over the Shareem.  She comes across Justin visiting an area that he is restricted from entering.  He refuses to admit to her why he continues to go to this area, and while she tries to do her job, she finds herself growing more and more attracted to Justin.  Something that is completely against the rules of her position as a Patroller, to become involved with a Shareem.  Deanna eventually learns what it is that is making Justin keep returning to the restricted area he can't seem to stay away from.  From here their story and relationship begins with many twists and turns throughout the storyline to make you want to keep reading to find out where these two will end up and how they will work through everything that is preventing them from being together.The romance between the two is hot and steamy and never gets dull.  I'm looking forward to beginning this series from book one and learning more about the other characters you come across in this installment, several of which already have their own books.
