The
blurb:
“For two years, James Hunt has been
lusting and longing for his co-worker Daniel Dumaw. But the older, more
sophisticated Daniel doesn't seem to have a clue as to how James feels.
He will this weekend, though, since
James is going to do what he's been dreaming about for ages--he's going to
seduce Daniel.
But James is going to find out that
things aren't always what they seem. And that he might not be the only one with
seduction on his mind...”
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This
was a rather sweet seduction story. James has been working with Daniel for two
years and for all that time he’s been lusting after him, never believing that
the older and so very sophisticated man could possibly be interested in him, a
younger small town ‘boy’. When Daniel rather unexpectedly invites him to spend
some time together on a drag race track, James escapes the family wedding he’s
attending as quickly as he politely can, determined that this is his opportunity.
He’s going to take this weekend to make the dreams he’s been harbouring for two
years come true.
Daniel,
at the race track, is a revelation. Not only would James never have imagined
Daniel being involved in drag racing, he can’t believe how incredibly sexy the
man is in jeans and a tight T-shirt. James may have been planning on seducing
his handsome co-worker; in reality it is nowhere near as easy as in his
fantasies. Every window of opportunity is closed by James’ nerves. With the
racing already over for the day when James arrives, it seems that he’s too late
anyway. Until, that is, Daniel invites him to diner and the seduction plans are
back on.
But
is James really the only one with seduction on his mind or does Daniel have
some fantasies of his own he’d like to fulfil?
Like
I said, ‘Seducing Daniel’ is a rather sweet story. James’ nervousness
and the way he gets tongue-tied every time he sees an opportunity to make a
move were adorable. Daniel on the other hand seems far more suave and relaxed,
taking every opportunity to touch James or flirt with him, even if James is
blissfully unaware of it.
“I’ll
admit I usually get what I want.” – Daniel
The
story reaches the heights of sweetness when the two men are back in Daniel’s
travel trailer after their dinner. While it has been clear to the reader that
both men are seducing each other from the start of the story, it comes as a
complete but very welcome surprise to James. The fact that Daniel is as
insecure as James when it comes to seduction takes the story to a new level of
cuteness.
This
is not a very explicit story. As the title suggests this is a story about
seduction more than what happens afterwards. And in a story this short that was
just about perfect. If the sex between the two men had been described in more
detail it would have been to the detriment of the charming seduction taking
place earlier. While I like my (M/M) sex scenes graphic and detailed, I didn’t
feel short changed when I finished this story. I’m not saying I wouldn’t have
enjoyed more detail, but I didn’t feel as if I had been robbed by the time the
story ended either. There are times when imagining the scene works just as well
as reading a detail description of it. Especially when you’ve developed a bit
of a liking for the two characters involved.
Charming,
well written and fun to read, this story was a delightful way to kill an hour.
