BOOK REVIEW
Richard is an ordinary guy (well, that's how the author describes him) and indeed his life isn't remarkable. He's married and has a young son and has recently moved to a new city for work.
We meet him at the office Christmas party where he's having very little, or rather, no fun at all. Until he starts chatting with his flirtatious female boss, Scarlet, who happens to be ten years younger and the daughter of the company owner. When Scarlet starts getting a little handsy, Richard has to be rescued by his wife, Alice. When they arrive home, Richard's attention is diverted to the neighbourly babysitter who needs Richard to sort out her PC. While he's there, one thing leads to another.
Okay. So here's my take on this story. First of all, as a protagonist, I don't find any reason to like Richard. I get what the author tried to do in writing a story about an ordinary man as an antidote to the Mr Grays and Mr Crosses of erotic fiction.
But I think he failed in giving me as a reader a character I can root for. I mean, Richard is a weak man. Period. I found no justification for his cheating, except that he was aroused and there was a willing female body available. His wife was willing and available just a few metres away. If he needed to find sexual release, why didn't he go home?
Having said that, this is the first story in a serial which features Richard's sexual adventures so there is more to come and hopefully a growth arc that sees him maturing as a character.
This is a quick read and when it did eventually get there, the erotic scenes were done well.
By all means, pick up this book and read it for what it is, good erotic fiction.

BLURB
There were times Richard Martin loved his life. He had everything most men nearing middle age could want. A beautiful wife. A young son. All his hair.
He still has his hair, but not all is at it seems. His idyllic life was turned upside down when he and his family were forced to move from their home in Bristol to a small Gloucester flat because of Richard’s new job and now he finds himself beset on all sides. However that is not the sum of his problems. When his new supervisor, a promiscuous bombshell more than ten years his junior, sets her sights on him, she is by no means subtle about her interest in him, no matter who might be watching.
But temptation comes in many forms, and Richard has recently found his eyes lingering on the woman from downstairs who babysits for them. Was it his imagination, or were her skirts getting shorter?
In this first volume in L.M. Mountford’s sizzling debut series: Sweet Temptations, a naughty babysitter sets out to seduce her man. No matter what his wife might think, this tempting little wench is determined to rock his world…
