Present Day

Most of the Henderson brothers have found their mates and are happy in love, except for Luke who has the reputation of being a ladies' man. Lately though, Luke's libido isn't what it used to be and he is bored, even though he could have any woman he wants with the snap of his fingers.

Luke's next-door neighbor, Shelly Latimer, may find Luke to be prime beefcake, but she knows all about Luke's past flings since she can hear almost every sound from his apartment.  Shelly is definitely not the ideal woman Luke would want because she doesn't have a Barbie Doll figure, her sex life is lacking and was quite dull even when she was married, and she's about to turn forty. Why would a young stud want a boring college professor like herself in bed?

Luke likes a challenge, and after Shelly's taunts, he shows her how much he can appreciate an older woman like herself. Shelly experiences a night of sexual pleasure with Luke that she never thought possible. Soon this one night turns out to be many more, and Luke wants Shelly in his life on a more permanent basis. Will this teacher be able to handle the sex appeal of this young stud who not only wants to continue to give her the best sex of her life, but also his heart and the possibility of a future together?

I am such a fan of sexy young men who can appreciate a mature and intelligent older woman, and M.A. Ellis does that here with TWISTED STEEL AND SEX APPEAL. Luke, at first glance, may seem to be the typical sexed up guy in his twenties, but he has great care and insight about Shelly who is so unsure about their relationship. Sure, she enjoys the passionate sex she has with Luke, but she is confused as to why a younger man like Luke would want to be with someone like her. Shelly's self-esteem with men is very low because of her ex-husband, especially when he comes back around to insult Shelly about her affair with Luke. I quickly came to adore Luke even more because of the way he stands up to Shelly's loser of an ex.

The sex between Shelly and Luke is both hot and sweet, and I found myself licking my lips for more. Luke's twin brothers, Matt and Sam, are real hoots as strippers who are called by Shelly's friend Tilly to come dance for Shelly at her fortieth birthday. Luke's reaction to that was priceless. Cute, funny, and adorable are only a few words to describe TWISTED STEEL AND SEX APPEAL, and it is one read by M.A. Ellis that will leave you with a smile on your face.
