A Soldier’s Seduction
by Brandi Evans
Genre: Contemporary Erotica
When Gen learns her best guy friend is going back to Afghanistan, she arranges a sendoff he’ll never forget. Will it be an intimate dinner at her place or an adventure at an exclusive erotic club?
Review:
This is my first time reading one of the books from SilkWords and it was a very interesting experience. My choice, A Soldier’s Seduction, was a short read with 4 possible story lines (this is the order I read them in but with its choose-your-own style, the order is up to you):
*The sexy girl-next-door and an intimate night in + Take Liam straight to my bedroom
* The sexy girl-next-door and an intimate night in + play with the melted chocolate
* The kinky seductress and a night at the Erogenous Zone + Stay on the platform and see what happens
* The kinky seductress and a night at the Erogenous Zone + Leave the platform and let Liam show me the club his way
(Can you tell I wasn’t feeling very adventurous?)
Thanks to its short length, it doesn’t take very long to go thru all of the options. But, maybe because I read them all at once, I did notice a little bleed through as I read it – I remembered things that were revealed in one path and applied them to the subsequent paths. Sometimes that helped me understand the characters and their actions better, sometimes it caused a little confusion on what happened in the path I was reading. I think maybe it is a personal preference though and I did find this type of story-telling to be a ton of fun. It’s a fantastic way to take a short reading break (and maybe next time I’ll take a breather between paths to see if that helps).
As I’m sure you can tell by some of the paths, this is a VERY hot read, but doesn’t skip on the heart. The characters were intriguing, even with the really short number of pages for each path. Evans does a fantastic job of succinctly and fully providing her readers the connection and background for Gen & Liam’s relationship. And she smoothly shows the transition between the two from friends to more. I definitely had my preferred paths, but each one gives its own look at the deepening relationship between the two.
If you are up for something a little different, but wholly entertaining, I recommend checking out A Soldier’s Seduction (or any of the SilkWords stories). Sweet but spicy, it’s unique format won’t appeal to everyone (and isn’t something I’d look for in every story) but is definitely something I will try again.
