Excerpt...

As Jen watched, enthralled, Gabe, his back to her, tossed the lumber down next to a table saw that had been set up in the driveway. His shoulders and arms stretched taut as he worked one board after another across the blade. His skin was the color of dark honey from the sun, and it gleamed with a fine sheen of sweat. He paused for a moment to swipe the back of an arm across his forehead, then resumed work. If he knew she watched him, he pretended ignorance. But Jen could pretend nothing of the sort. Watching his strong hands work the wood only reminded her of what he'd done to her in the kitchen earlier. Why had she let that happen? She was an intelligent, independent woman. She'd never before let a man so boldly fondle her when she'd been in his presence such a short time.

Except this was Gabe.

Raw physical longing raged through her again. Her leg, which she half sat on in the swing, crept closer to her swollen labia until her needy mound pressed lightly against her ankle. She could almost smell the damp scent of her womanly musk, and it aroused her even more.

Suddenly, Gabe paused in his work and turned to look at her.

Jen froze, and felt heat creep up her cheeks. He couldn't possibly tell what she was doing with her ankle strategically hidden under the wispy folds of her dress. Yet his gaze, even from a distance, even behind the safety goggles he wore, hinted that he did know.

Was it her imagination or did the crotch of his jeans suddenly seem fuller?

He stood, not saying a word, just watching her. A minute stretched by. Then two. Jen twitched on the swing, her breasts heavy, her womb clenching, her panties soaking.

Swearing softly, but not so softly she couldn't hear every word, he turned back to the saw as suddenly as he'd faced her. He picked up another board and put it on the table, but hesitated. Then, with another colorful curse, he flipped off the switch. The whine of the machine ceased, leaving a startling silence.

Giving Jen one more long, hard look, he unfastened his tool belt and dropped it...

June 2004 Recommended Read!! 

"Ms. Rhodes pens a delicious hero who has his heart set on recapturing the woman who he loved and lost.  Gabe is determined to find out what happened with Jen and show her exactly what she’s been missing.  WELL HUNG is hot, sexy, delicious and I was dreaming of men in tool belts for days!!"

---Tracey West, Road to Romance

M.L. Rhodes writes an excellent short story that grabs your attention and satisfies your romance urge.  I was pulled into the old flame romance from the beginning and was more than pleased with the outcome.  This is definitely a perfect summer read.

---Bea Sigman, Romance Junkies

4 Angels!  "Given the current appeal of makeover programs, Ms. Rhodes has taken what I'm sure is a fantasy of many women, winning a kitchen makeover, and putting a twist on it, to create WELL HUNG.  The characters are appealing and instantly likeable to the reader and the prose flows smoothly.  The plot nicely sutis the length of an AQP "Amber Kisses Short Story" book.  WELL HUNG was my introduction to the writing of M.L. Rhodes and I look forward to reading more of her stories!

WELL HUNG is a short, entertaining and erotic tale... "

--Jane, Fallen Angels Reviews

5 Stars!!  Heat level: O (orgasmic!)

"Well Hung reflects a great, well-done erotic short story. Ms. Rhodes, in a very short amount of time, fills you in on the background of these star crossed lovers. You understand Jen's regret as she looks at Gabe who has gone from the boy next door to drop dead gorgeous. You learn enough about Gabe to know that he has forced this encounter but is wary as to how it will end. You want Gabe's hands on you as he touches the wood and Jen. Ms. Rhodes captures the smells of the early summer perfectly. She has the erotic tidbits down but also knows how to create a stunning visual picture in the mind of the reader. This is a burning short story that you shouldn't miss!"
