I downloaded a novel from Ellora's Cave and I finally found some time to read it. It is called "Rees" by Allyson James. It is the first book in her "Tales of the Shareem" series.
The Shareem are men that were created in a lab for the pleasure of women, as the men from the planet were almost eradicated in a war. This story is about a celibate young woman who is about to commit her life to intellectual pursuits, when she sees a Shareem make enter a hologram suite and she follows him into the room. She is curious about the Shareem on an intellectual level and after meeting, she is stimulated on a physical level. She convinces her guardian to get him for her, and so begins her sexual adventure with a special Shareem.
It is a quick tale and it moves at an nice, steady pace. It rarely lags and the dialog is not too flowery. It sets up the world effectively as it is the first book in the series. Hopefully, the next books won't have as much description in them, which can detract from the characters. I enjoyed it. Will I get the other books in the series? Only if they go on sale. I liked the story but was not riveted by it.
