Alan Graham is engaged to Jacqueline Tenner - a virgin librarian from Iowa. She's tall and gorgeous, but Alan is not in love with her but he promised to marry her because "there was no one else in sight worth settling down with." Jacqueline sexually teases Alan, but is steadfast in remaining a virgin until after they are married, despite Alan's heavy push for sex.
To relieve himself after Jacqueline's intoxicating sexuality, Alan takes advantage of an old, retired hooker who lives on the floor below him. She is happy to get some sexual tension after her looks have all but disappeared.
Joyce Kelly, a young woman who Alan had always thought of as family, a niece, but was of no actual relation, has been reaching out to Alan, claiming she's in trouble and only Alan can help her. What a surprise it was, for Alan, to see this little girl, now a full grown woman - and an incredibly beautiful one at that. She needs a place to stay and Alan is her last resort. But after spending some time with him, Joyce wants Alan, sexually. He, however, can't see her as anything other than the little girl - a family member, and he would never dream of having sex with a family member.
The book becomes almost a comedy of errors as everyone sleeps with everyone else except the one they want to be with. And Alan goes to extreme measures to try and refocus Joyce's attentions away from him and on to someone else - preferably someone her own age - including holding a party full of young men with Joyce the only woman who dances so provocatively that you can almost hear the erections springing forth. And when Alan gets what he thinks he wants - for some young bull ready for her - he can't let it happen, viciously beating the young man.
Typically classified as 'sleaze' because of the overt sex described here (and being for men, rather than the overt sex in 'erotica' for women), this book may surprise readers. Yes, there's lots of graphic sex, but there's almost a cinematic style to the writing and a story, while a bit simple with Alan's refusal to sleep with Joyce is borderline unbelievable, that keeps the narrative moving forward easily.
There's actually some depth to the characters, even though all of them are primarily motivated by sex (whether to have or not to have).
