The way Troy is obsessed with her…just wow. Seriously, I want that too. I want a Troy. And Erika (btw I love her name, reminds me of my favorite girl Rika from Devils Night and that‘s always a good association), she deserves to be worshipped by this man. Her and Troy are such a good match, not just smut-wise but also as characters. While the Nashville Neighborhood series is very spice-driven – and the spice in this book as well is top tier – I also like the other parts of the story: when it comes to Erika being a music agent and Troy being a musician. Learning more about them as characters is such a treat, and in all honesty their chemistry outside of their sexual one is unexpected and so very good.
P.S. I want Clark’s head on a stick. He is the worst. Period.

An older woman who knows what she wants and a younger man secure enough to give it to her. This series is sssspicy and the definition of cliterature.

The story was modestly anarchistic but generously filthy,obscene. Freshly divorced from her unfaithful, 20 year long, husband. Erika’s desire to elapse from her old persona and her anterior matrimonial life at 42 year old eclipsed her recentrent over her disastrous dite life and ungrateful ex-husband. The path she took into the redeeming and mooring process with her body and self esteem unexpectedly throw her into the arms of her much younger pool boy and accessorily best friend’s son, young 24 year old Troy.
Their relationship was without contest and surprise filled and imbued with a considerable amont of lust and chemistry and rhythmed by hot-blushing sex scenes. However, the plot line curiously painted their bond with much more depth and nuances than just a mutual desire to appease and please. It all started with a clichéed fascination and fantasme of a teenager over his hot mother’s best friend but the way his character saw more in Erika than just a body or "the fantasme to be with an older woman." was one of the principle factors that made me love this book so much than just a quick smutty read, because them being together and made so much sense and that’s what I’m always looking for in romance.
This quote alone emphasizes perfectly how the sex scenes were a delicious combo between dominance and submission. Quite frankly, this read had the best smutt I have read so far this year. If I dive more into the details of the story / relationship I’ll probably spoil some important aspects that are better left as delightful surprises. SO IF YOU NEED GOOD SMUTT WITH AN EQUAL GOOD AMONT OF ROMANCE GO READ IT!!

Delivered 100% on smuttiness, but also has an actual story/character worth caring, The Pool Boy is a well-rounded package that packs in the steam, an atypical romantic scenario (older woman/younger man), and a convincingly constructed Nashville music scene. Even though the amount of spicy sex in the middle was so constant I was on the verge of being desensitized, the strong character set up in the beginning and the emotionally-charged closing act made sure it was overall a very balanced distribution of the erotic and the romance. Will definitely seek out the remaining books from this series!
