Erin Connors wants a man. However, not just any man will do. When she hears that her brother's best friend Abel Garrett is moving back home for the summer, she knows he's the perfect guy to have a summer fling with. He never sticks around so there's no way he will become emotionally attached to her. She knows he'll be after sex, hot and passionate sex, just like her. When she goes to visit him and discovers that Abel is asleep, Erin strips naked and climbs into bed with him. Surely this will get the message across that she wants him as more than a friend.

As Abel awakens, the feel of a curvaceous female form next to him drives him to distraction. Convinced it's a dream, he makes love to the woman, only to discover that it is Erin Connors, his friend Jackson's little sister. Of course, this is not enough to deter him from making love to her again, but when she suggests a summer fling, he draws the line. Jackson would go crazy if he found out! When he rejects her proposal out of hand, Erin feels horrible. Here she thought they had something special going on, when all Abel wanted was a willing body. But Abel isn't about to let Erin keep that opinion. Though he doesn't know what his future holds, he can't resist the temptation of Erin Connors. Soon, they start having furtive assignations together, hiding it from Erin's brothers. This bothers Abel as he wants Jackson and Nathan to know the truth. Erin is against that however, convinced that her brothers will stop them from being together.

But when Abel discovers something about himself, something long hidden from him, his entire world is shaken up and it is Erin he turns to in crisis. Will their budding relationship prove strong enough to weather the emotional torment Abel is feeling? Will their relationship survive Jackson's wrath? You'll have to read to find out.

Erin's Fancy is the sequel to N.J. Walters' book Katie's Art of Seduction. Erin's Fancy is superb! There is no other way to describe this story. The love between Erin and Abel is strong and flourishing from the first moment they come together, and though there are some problems on the path to true love, these problems are nonetheless overcome by the clear communication Erin and Abel share. This book is part of the Awakening Desires series and it aptly fits as both Erin and Abel awaken to love and a powerful desire that neither has ever experienced before. I cannot say how much I enjoyed this story. Erin and Abel are phenomenal characters that aren't made out to be perfect people, but rather, realistic people that any reader should be able to identify with. Erin has self-esteem issues and Abel is afraid to get close to anyone. This is a story that explores sexuality to its fullest however, so readers wary of eroticism might want to steer clear, but, if you're willing to read a story where the beauty of lovemaking is explored to its fullest, then Erin's Fancy is surely the story for you.

Erin's Fancy is a beautiful story and another winner from N.J. Walters who gets better with every story she writes.
