Manservant: A Man Cave Standalone

Written by Shari J. Ryan

Narrated by Victoria Mei

A Man Cave standalone - hot romantic comedy

I just wanted an easy summer job....

That didn’t happen. Now, I’m in a living nightmare as I work alongside this monster of a man with mesmerizing emerald eyes that look at me inappropriately every time I see him. To add insult to injury, he has a tan I just want to lick, and a butt worth drooling over every time he purposefully walks by me. But, he's an asshat, and looks are everything. I mean, aren't. LOOKS. ARE. NOT. EVERYTHING. Why do I have to keep reminding myself of this?

His job is to clean, cook, and tend to the house we work in. That's why I call him the manservant. Oh, and because it drives him nuts. That's what he gets for torturing me.

This is a story of little restraint, too much desire, questionable actions, no strength whatsoever, and the best sex I've ever had.

The question is: Do I fall for this crude manservant whose idea of a fun time is to tie people up and do obscene things, or do I give him a taste of his own medicine?

All I'm going to say is.... Things get weird, twisted, then hot, then weird again, and - you get my drift.

Go ahead and laugh. It might not be so funny if it happened to you.

*A divine comedy filled with humorous satire and sexy moments that lead to a love that lasts - a perfect beach listen if you enjoy romance.*

Heat Rating... 8/10
Clean or Fade to Black - 1 or 2
Normal to Descriptive 3-5
Detailed Descriptive Sex - 6-7
Um, Wow, Beyond Descriptive Sex - 8 or above

Was there so much sex or unrealistic sex that you rolled your eyes and/or skipped forward? Almost

The back story... The h takes a nanny job after college but before she has to start her life as an adult. She meets the H at a bar and he instantly dislikes her.

The Romance... I saw nothing but blind lust.

The drama explosion... The H learns something from a certified letter.
Did it feel Real, OK or contrived? Meh
Was it OTT? Sort of
Separation involved? No
Was it resolved properly or rushed? Ok

Final Notes... I try not to be too mean when reviewing a story as I know the author put time and effort into writing it. In this case, I probably will not be as nice as the humor was like stretched out bad Saturday Night Live skits.

The humor is complete cringe humor.
The 'humorous' events go on forever and ever!
The h rambles non-stop!
The first time they get together.
Her friend getting terribly drunk all the time.
The H was a solid A$$hole for 90% of the story.

The h was TSTL and allowed the H to treat her badly.

The last sexual encounter with the first toy he bought her.

The premise of the story - I have sworn off good looking men because they are all a$$holes goes out the window when she catches the attention of two good looking men. The H can insult her, then have his way with her whenever he wants.

The h ruins sex scenes by either being clumsy or by getting caught up in embarrassing situations that trudge on and on!

The h throws a public fit because she mistakes completely obvious surfboard talk with the two guys talking about her and her body (and sexual exploits)... really?

Just no!


HEA or HFN?
