Country bumpkin goes from book lover to porn star's lover...

I can’t believe how much I enjoyed Decker’s Wood. I’ve had it sitting on my kindle for ages and kept putting off reading it. My friends had raved about how funny and sexy Decker was, so when it was on special I bought it with plans to read it…soon. I was hesitant to read and like a hero who is a porn star. I mean the man has EXPERIENCE. Lots and lots of experience. Could I put myself in the shoes of the heroine and picture myself having a relationship with someone who is paid to have sex? IF, you managed to get your confidence up enough to try him out, would your confidence hold up time and time again when beautiful women approach him wanting to try him out too?

So, I did it. I picked it up and started reading. At first I thought Decker was a putz and that I would be reading this for the “experience” and not necessarily my enjoyment. Then we get to know Decker and meet a little country bumpkin by the name of Andi who surprises him enough to start looking at his life and choices a bit differently. The Andi Decker meets now is very different from the young, shy teenager with her nose permanently in a book. This Andi is mature, confident and knows what she wants…sort of.

We meet some fantastic side characters in Andi’s neighbours and some of Decker’s porn mates. Bradley, who is Andi’s cousin and Decker’s best mate, brought them together. He is very close to both of them but thinks it would be a mistake to have a relationship. Decker’s family is lovable and close. They know about his career are not necessarily happy about it but love him enough to get past it.

This was a steamy read. Obviously, Decker has experience and in the first part of the story we hear a bit about his exploits. At this stage, the couple is not together so I don’t have an issue. He does have women throw themselves at him leaving Andi uncomfortable. There was one scene towards the end of the story that skated along the lines of cheating but there were twenty other things going on at that particular moment, I was distracted. By the time I realised, I had processed it and was ready to move on.

In the end I really enjoyed this story. By the time the (sort of) cheating happened, I was already in love with Decker and I was justifying and making excuses (in my head) for him. That says a lot for this story because I don’t do cheating at all. The characters were funny, sexy and lovable. We see a different side to the porn industry and who the actors really are. I will definitely be reading more from this author.
