Beauty and the Feast and Smexy Books
“Try to look at it this way, absence makes the cock grow harder.”
The above quote is from my contemporary romance, Beauty and the Feast. It’s the quote Mandi chose as her favorite when she posted her review of the book today/yesterday - which, of course, makes me laugh out loud. Here’s a bit of the review:
“Beauty and the Feast is a cute love story, a little sappy at times, but I very much enjoyed how Julia Barrett combines food and romance. The preparation of the food and the consumption very much mirror foreplay and sex and it was very erotic how she combines them both. As Eva says,
“Good food should be like great sex. Nuanced. Seductive. Smooth. Satisfying. The more care used in preparation, the deeper the flavor, the more lingering the outcome.”
Eva is a little bit on the perfect side, besides having a potty mouth. She is your classic heroine who does not have a lot of sexual experience – but she has great chemistry with Gabe. I like both of their easy going attitudes and there are many scenes that steam up the pages. At first Eva feels a little awkward, having feelings for her client. She kind of sees her self as the “help” rather than the girlfriend. But Gabe is there to put all those notions out of her head. He is rich and powerful, but very sweet to Eva.
Beauty and the Feast does a cute job of combining two of people’s favorite things – sex and food.”
Thanks, Mandi!

Thanks, Amber - it’s a mixed review. She liked some things and thought other things were a bit silly and sentimental, but…can’t always get what you want. At least she read the book and enjoyed it!
