Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2005

Tales of the Shareem - Rees By Allyson James The Shareem. Males created to be tall, muscled, sexy, and…enhanced. They come in one of three levels—pure sensual pleasure, games and wicked fun, or the ultimate barbarian—complete with whip. They know how to bring a woman to ecstasy and exactly how to keep her there. When Lady Talan d'Urvey reads the diary of a woman who spent one wicked week with a Shareem, she longs to experience the same carnality in one last fling before she takes her vow of celibacy. She goes in search of a Shareem and finds Rees, tall and blond, with Shareem-blue eyes. Just looking into those eyes makes Talan wild with need. But Rees is a Shareem experiment that never should have been made. Rees is all the Shareem levels rolled into one, and then some. Rees is uncontrollable, Rees is unpredictable. Even Rees's creators could never, ever be sure exactly what he would do…

This review is from: Rees: Tales of the Shareem (Paperback)

Rarely do I read one of these "type" books. It's hard to take them out in public or, if you live in a populated household, leave out on the nightstand. Itn my family, if you do either, it's a guarantee of plenty of teasing. To order a book like this, it has to have a trusted author. I just finished the authors'other traditional books and was impressed-- so I took the risk and ordered this ONE. It was so excellently written I returned and ordered the other two in the series. This book is a fascinating science fiction story of another world. Then the characters are well developed (ahem...), with distinct personalities,even believeable. The secret message in this book is a typical R&J romance from two opposing sides. To learn aabout each side, on this different planet, is fascinating. Yes, the sensuality is as promised. Without that component, this would still be a lovely romance and an excellent read. Just keep it hidden.....

4.0 out of 5 stars The Shareem are erotic and deeply satisfying!, September 8, 2008

This review is from: Rees: Tales of the Shareem (Paperback)

In a future society dominated by women, The Shareem are designed for sexual fulfillment. These enhanced males specialize in bringing women to ecstasy and have been programmed to perform at one of three levels. Level one offers pure sensual pleasure. Level two provides games and wicked fun. Level three is the ultimate barbarian. Tall, muscular, and beautiful, The Shareem are designed to be pleasing to the eyes as well as the body.

Lady Talan d'Urvey is seeking enlightenment. Adopted into high society she is ready to take a vow of celibacy. But after discovering the diary of a woman who spent one blissful week with a Shareem, Talan sets out to experience for herself what pleasure of the flesh feels like. When her research leads her to Rees, she finds herself drawn to him immediately. She knows right away she wants him for her experiment.

Rees is not your standard issue Shareem. Born of a unique experiment, he is all three levels in one. Deemed unstable and dangerous, his programmers abandoned the experiment and feared Rees' unpredictable nature. Now that he is free, Rees has managed to hide in plain sight - Though Rees himself isn't quite sure what he is capable of should he ever lose control.

Allyson James has created a futuristic series that will have readers wishing for a time machine! Rees and Talan set the pages ablaze as one of the most perfectly matched pairs this reader has come across. This first book of the series does not disappoint. Not only will readers find the Shareem deeply satisfying, these hot men will leave them panting for more.

This review is from: Rees (Tales of the Shareem, Book One) (Kindle Edition)

I found this series quite by accident on my new kindle. I held my breath and squirmed through every book in this series.I've loved each character Allyson James has introduced, and have become vested in their individual pursuit of happiness and fulfillment.The shareem's erotic sexual encounters have been added to my list of guilty pleasures! I can't think of a better way to enjoy "me" time then to be curled up in my pjs with an Allyson James novel! I can hardly wait for the newest book in this series!!!
