Lyra Marlowe’s The Flavor of Summer

Related Title: First Taste
Genre: BDSM Erotic Contemporary
Length: Novella

The first time David saw Ariel, she was pinned against the lockers, being fingered by a football player -- and smiling. He never forgot that smile. But he let her get away.

Ten years later, a summer class reunion brings him another chance.

Ariel is still beautiful, free, and erotically unpredictable; David, even in his own mind, is dull as dry toast. She wants to be sexually dominated -- by him. He'd be happy just to get laid. But with the help of the Internet, an experienced Dom who's willing to give advice, and Ariel's drawer full of toys, he'll take a shot at being everything she wants and needs.

Twenty-four hours of submission, bondage, erotic toys and one old-fashioned spanking convince David that Ariel's sexual preferences suit him perfectly. But if they're going to stay together, they'll have to deal with other issues: The suffocating summer heat. The specter of Ariel's free-love past. The disapproval of their old classmates. Their mutual insecurities. And maybe the most important question: Can a dedicated tax accountant really be happy with a woman who never balances her checkbook?

Whatever happens, the flavor of their summer isn't going to be vanilla any more.
