My name is Allie. I just turned eighteen, and I’m still a virgin. I do plan to remedy that very soon. I have always felt that Daniel and I will end up together. After all, we have been best friends since the third grade. But lately, I have been fantasizing about someone more interesting - his dad. Now I'm here again in Daniel’s bedroom, studying with him for the coming final exams. But we're graduating from high school in a few weeks, and my Chemistry book holds no interest for me. I want to learn another lesson, one that I have been fixating on for the last several months. I think I am ready. Hey, I am more than ready!
Who will teach me that lesson I am dying to learn? Would it be the son, or the father?
Make no mistake. Peaches and Cream by Veronica Paige is not a romance story. It is plain sex with no commitment. For those who are scandalized by carnal activities outside a loving relationship, don’t touch this book with a ten-foot pole. Those who are more openminded will find that the book delivers on its erotic promise. The author admits to having sexual fantasies and writes her stories to “play out those fantasies.” She invites you to watch Allie.
The book cover clearly depicts what’s on those pages; there are no surprises. The contents are, as intended, hot and steamy. The language has vulgar words consistent with the goings-on; as such, these do not offend. The story is alternately told by the man and the woman, so the book would appeal to both sexes. Though I am no Kama Sutra expert, I’d say the reader would learn a thing or two in the techniques department. I find the actions and reactions realistic. For those who enjoy erotica, this book will be a desirable read. It’s a short but sizzling story, a definite “whirlwind.”
The ending is left to the reader’s imagination. However, there is an insinuation that bothers me.
Though I think those eighteen and above are mature enough for this book, I have these additional snippets for the interested reader’s consideration. Daniel’s father is necessarily a lot older than Allie though his age is not divulged. A wife is not indicated, so adultery may not be a concern. There is no mention of protection.
Moreover, the book needs better editing. There are erroneous line breaks, punctuation errors, and misspellings. I also cannot comprehend the reason for italicizing selected words. And I take offense at the use of the term “baby girl” and the pet name “Allie Cat.” (The girl is eighteen!) These issues cost the book a star.
The author is transparent about her purpose for writing this book. Save for the points mentioned, I believe she has achieved that purpose well. While I personally do not advocate either casual or unsafe sex, I believe this book deserves 3 out of 4 stars.
