Desires—a place where fantasies are made flesh and dreams become real. From BDSM to being a dog, Desires can provide it with bells on, if that’s your kink.

Stacie Clifford’s only desire is to regain her sexual confidence after her recent escape from an abusive marriage. She joins Desires looking for re-education in the joys of her body. There is only one condition; her contract states emotional attraction between tutor and student is forbidden. Stacie is fine with that; her heart is so battered she has no desire to give it to anyone else.

Then she meets her instructor, Dan. Instantly attracted, at first Stacie thinks it will help to make her sexually comfortable with him. But when she realises she is falling in love, she can’t tear herself away, contract or no. Stacie knows that, no matter how kind and caring Dan appears, he’s just doing his job. Can Stacie overcome her own Desires and walk away?

Tamara’s Review
Desires is the first book in the new series by the same name, by Holly J Gill and Nickie Blaise. While you could classify Desires as an erotic romance, because it does center (mostly) on a single couples courtship and does provide a satisfactory Happily Ever After. The abundance of sex scenes and their explicitly puts it in more the erotica category in my opinion.

I was a bit confused when I started reading Desires. When Stacie is “filling out her contract” at the club I was under the impression it was for sex therapy. I expected a licensed sex therapist to help her with her sexual confidence and personal growth. However, once past the initial scene it becomes obvious that Desires is a club just for that… Desires. A place where men and women can go to fulfill their sexual desires, whatever they may be. And where the “client” pays for the privilege of having sex with a “tutor”.

I liked Stacie and Dan, and many of the supporting characters, like Chrissy and Bailey. But, I would have liked to have a seen some of story from Dan’s perspective. I really wanted to know what was going on in his head.

I liked Desires as a whole. But, in all honesty the preponderance of sex scenes got to be a bit redundant for me and I skimmed several of them toward the end, waiting to get back to the story. That’s not to say the sex scenes weren’t well written or interesting, just that I was more interested in Dan and Stacie’s story then their sex life.
I would give Desires a solid 3 to 3 ½ stars. A good premise, LOTS of hot sex, just a little drawn out, in my opinion.
