"A sex-starved accountant inherits a male harem"

Melanie Clover is having a very long dry spell where men are concerned. She's convinced that she has regained her virginity, since it's been almost two years since she last had sex. Her friend Dawn sets Melanie up in a hilarious series of bad blind dates before Melanie gives up on finding a normal man.

Melanie is stunned to learn that her beloved Aunt Penelope has died. Aunt Penelope had such a zest for life that she should have lived to a ripe old age. Melanie is pleasantly surprised to learn that Aunt Penelope has left Melanie $100,000 and a splendid mansion equipped with an indoor pool, a butler, and -- a male harem?

With the help of Dawn, sexual escapades ensue. But not everything is what it seems to be at the mansion. Will Melanie, Dawn, and the harem males be able to fight back against Aunt Penelope's scheming daughter?

Although AUNT PENELOPE'S HAREM is a quick, hot read, I didn't feel that Melanie and her chosen mate had connected emotionally enough for a happily-ever-after ending. Mr. Tanglen has written a laugh-old-loud tale, even if the romance is skimpy.

Summary

Melanie Clover has a lousy job, no boyfriend, and neighbors who like to have ridiculously loud sex. She is too shy to handle the dating scene, and has resigned herself to a chaste life spent playing mindless video games.

But when her beloved Aunt Penelope dies, Melanie inherits her home and everything in it. Now, instead of a cramped one-bedroom apartment, she has a mansion with a swimming pool, a tennis court, luxurious furniture, spacious bathrooms, a wide-screen television...and a harem.

Yes, a harem. A harem with eight handsome, muscular, sexy men, all willing to cater to her every need. Melanie is outraged to discover that Aunt Penelope's joyful nature and unmatched zest for life took this kind of direction, but her outrage turns to curiosity, and then to temptation. After all, how often does a girl have eight love slaves to call her own?

Aunt Penelope...you just got to love her ;-)
