Plenty!<br /><br />Eduardo and Vivian run into each other – quite literally on a busy street in Washington, DC. A huge crowd had gathered to listen to a young charismatic speaker and Eduardo was rushing through the crowd oblivious to the beautiful woman in the yellow dress…that is until he collided with her knocking her to the ground. Determined to make amends for his unchivalrous behavior Eduardo invites Vivian to a small café for some Cokes to quench their thirst on this steamy DC Afternoon. However, Eduardo is once again embarrassed by his behavior as he inadvertently spills a Coke on Vivian’s sundress.<br /><br />Coming to the rescue is Lupe, the waitress at the café and Eduardo’s friend. Lupe suggests Vivian and Eduardo retreat to his apartment where Vivian can wash the sugary concoction off her dress. Arriving at Eduardo’s apartment the sexual tension mounts and Vivian finds herself orchestrating the pas de deux much to the amusement of Eduardo who is not used to the more open sexual mores of American women.<br /><br />I was a bit befuddled about who the dynamic speaker was that Vivian found so enthralling. [HINT: MLK, Jr. ~ Alessia] The authors never explained. Could it be Malcolm X who Vivian casually mentions later in the story? I felt if the authors went to the trouble of setting this scene of dynamism, they could have let the reader in on who they were referring to. [Clues aplenty. We did everything but type his name. ~ Alessia]<br /><br />I did learn a new Spanish word – chupadita - which was interesting and self-explanatory. I thought the sex scenes were hot and very well described. Eduardo and Vivian learn that love and sex are the same in all languages.<br /><br />Their chance encounter leads them to discover they have much in common despite their disparate backgrounds. The language of sex, however, is universal which they both discover on a steamy Washington afternoon. A good story.<br /><br />Rating: 4 Cherries<br />Review by: Azalea<br /><br />http://whippedcream2.blogspot.com/2009/05/at-first-by-alessia-brio-and-will.htmlImphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619940510165528430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620358370191375646.post-13575175595782866772012-09-10T18:06:36.479-04:002012-09-10T18:06:36.479-04:00The Romance Studio gives At First, the story behin...The Romance Studio gives At First, the story behind the story of ArtiFactual, four hearts and some very nice praise:<br /><br />At First -- Washington D.C. is the story behind Alessia Brio and Will Belegon's story, ArtiFactual. Set before the foundation of the Erotique Mystique, Senor Eduardo "Eddie" Rojas Aguilar is a young archeology student. Wandering the streets of D.C., he literally plows into Vivian Long and fireworks ensue. What is it about tall, dark, and mysterious that has Vivian so wound up? What's the spark in her touch, and why can't Eduardo seem to tell the woman, no? Why is he attracted to such a forward woman?<br /><br />Attraction at first sight or is it love? Either way, Brio and Belegon know how to keep the intensity at the forefront. From Eddie and Vivian's first encounter to the chain of events that Vivian allows, and sometimes orchestrates, to draw them along and together, the chemistry between the characters is amazing. Not having read ArtiFactual, I'm not sure of this story's meaning, but I found At First stands well on its own. I love the concept of different personalities and instant attraction, and found the authors have an uncanny way to make it real. I enjoyed being drawn and made privy to the character's thoughts. Nice romantic elements and intense sex make this story one hot read. <br /><br />Overall rating:<br />Sensuality rating: Explicit<br />Reviewer: Bryl Tyne<br /><br />http://www.theromancestudio.com/reviews/reviews/atfirstbriobelegon.htmImphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619940510165528430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620358370191375646.post-42579723654683805492011-06-28T04:07:24.490-04:002011-06-28T04:07:24.490-04:00Cute, sexy yet funny all in a good way :) It remi...Cute, sexy yet funny all in a good way :) It reminds of the boldness of teenagers.
