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!!

"You like the sound of that? Me being your personal sex toy?"

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!

You know what? I wanted a quick read, something hot, and something to escape this world. This accomplished all of my requirements, and for that, it was a 5 star read.
