Rating: 4 out of 5

"Erected" by Desiree Holt is a sensual modern novella that introduces Josh McMann, one of three McMann brothers who have a successful Development Corporation that allows them to meld their skills in a field that they love. A chance encounter with a frantic Ness Bowen leads to a series of meetings that do little to convince the gun shy pair that the mutual attraction they feel will lead to a meaningful relationship. Each is battling past betrayals and fear to allow someone into their respective hearts but somehow find that they have more in common than just their wariness. They will have to discover whether their passion for each other will be enough to overcome the scars they bear.An entertaining read which ends a little abruptly but certainly whets one's appetite for further tales that involve the sexy McMann brothers. The limitations of the length of the novella prevent a long detailed resolution but there are certainly plenty of spicy scenes and entertaining vignettes that showcase Ms Holt's ability to write an engaging story. Looking forward to more intriguing tales of the McManns. Night Owl Reviews
