Erotic romance
4/5 stars
Teasing Hands is a good short read. It features the relationship between college basketball star Mandi and masseuse Camden. Their relationship is very intense, with lots of steamy scenes and emotional turmoil. This is the first book I've read by Elena M Reyes, and I would definitely read more from this author.
The hands kneading my flesh into submission are strong, yet gentle. Rough, yet tender. His talented fingers dig deep into my naked flesh, applying the perfect amount of pressure, bending me to his will.
His will that now entices and burns itself into my every pore, ruining me for any other’s touch—but his. Once a stubborn and independent woman, I find myself wanting to submit; to give him all that I am and power over everything I can be with his guidance.
Camden Daniels has a voice full of sin built to destroy my mental walls. The dulcet sonnet of his tone controls my resolve with but a single utterance from his lips:
“Undress for me.”

The first chapter in this book really draws you into this story. I instantly connected to our heroine, Mandi, she is fun, feisty, a talented athlete and someone I could really imagine being friends with. Camden is intense, slightly mysterious, dominant, cocky and possessive - oh and very, very hot!
Mandi first encounters Camden at a club when she is out celebrating a basketball game win with her team mates. Instantly attracted to the mysterious stranger with the startling eyes, she doesn't expect to see him again. So he is the last person she expects to see at the spa where she is having a girls day out with her friend and their mothers. Sparks fly again and a complex emotional journey begins.
Camden has been badly burnt by his previous marriage, and now is frightened to become involved emotionally with anyone. Mandi struggles to deal with his commitment issues, as she wants more than an occasional romp in Camden's massage room. The story is told from Mandi's first person point of view, and we get a real insight into her thoughts and feelings. I really felt for her and really wanted her to be happy.
It isn't just Camden who has issues with previous relationships. Mandi was badly treated by her ex, so he is the last person she wants to see again. Mandi has to deal with his reappearance and her mother trying to interfere in her private life.
The sex scenes in this scene are steamy, but I must admit I was expecting BDSM elements in this book after reading the blurb. Camden is definitely dominant but there isn't a master/sub relationship between him and Mandi.
Overall this was an enjoyable read which gets four out of five stars.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
