For Lance Cooper, sex is business and
love doesn’t exist. Having been abandoned as a child and
growing up with almost no one to care about him, Lance
thrives on security. To achieve that, he enters into
contracts with wealthy men; pleasure and companionship in
exchange for a life of luxury, education, culture, travel,
and more. Now Lance is in need of a new client and he has
his eye on billionaire Jackson Scott. It should be the
perfect assignment. Jackson is a businessman through and
through and doesn’t believe in love anymore than Lance
does. There’s just one problem: Jackson’s personal
assistant Tobias Naso.
Tobias pretty much puts up with his
demanding boss because he needs the amount of money Jackson
pays him to support his grandmother in an expensive nursing
home. Jackson is frustrating, possessive, and likes to have
Tobias at his beck and call 24/7 and in his bed whenever
Jackson pleases. Tobias is used to men being after Jackson
for his money, but there’s something different about Lance,
something that draws Tobias to him, against his better
judgment. But Lance has a contract with Jackson and Jackson
doesn’t want to let go of either man. So when his employer
demands Tobias join he and Lance for some group action,
Tobias convinces himself nothing will go wrong. After all,
his desire for Lance isn’t something deep and emotional.
It’s purely sexual...right?
Forget “silver white winters that melt into springs” – D. J.
Manly knows how to write about a few of my favorite
things: gorgeous heroes, red-hot sex, and emotions that tie
you up in knots. While the book might be titled Pure
Sex (and the sex is purely divine, have no doubt),
what solidifies the position of this book, for me, as one of
D. J. Manly’s finest is the emotional reaction I had to the
story. Reading the sheer agony Lance and Toby experience of
being close to the man they want but are unable to freely
touch was like a vise around my throat. With Jackson being
childish, inordinately possessive, and cruel to Lance at
some points, the tension in Pure Sex
practically radiated off the page. Stolen moments took on
an extra sense of urgency that translated to me as a
reader. I have nothing but the highest praise for D. J.
Manly’s ability to make even me, the reader, tense as I read
Lance and Toby’s story. I was desperate to see the heroes I
adored so much find their happily ever after. After I
finished Pure Sex, I could not stop thinking
about it. Over the past month since I first read the story
that has not changed. I love a great book that enthralls
its reader and stays with them long after the last page has
been read; Pure Sex is such a tale. Joyfully
