When Molly Gerard first meets Nick Trajan at a local party, she is feeling like a dried up old spinster. Her self-esteem has taken a serious hit by an acrimonious divorce, and she can't help but wonder what the gorgeous young man sees in her. However, when he makes his move, she is too flattered and way too turned on to care.

Nick knows from the minute he lays eyes on her that Molly is special, and he can hardly wait to start proving it to her. He has his job cut out for him, because first he has to get her over her obsession with the ten years difference in their age to convince her that her body is perfect for him. His next task requires a little more delicacy; he needs to introduce her to his darker needs and hope she can accept them as an intrinsic part of him. Will his prayers be answered, will Molly recognize his dominant nature as an extension of his love for her or will she let her insecurities ruin the best shot at happiness either may ever get?

Desiree Holt's contribution to the Oh Yum series meets the highest bar. Teaching Molly has the prerequisite older woman who captures the attention of a sexy younger man. However, as with any pre-set plot, the magic lies in the telling; the unique twist the author brings to the tale. With Nick Trajan, Ms. Holt has created the perfect man for Mary, as sexually dominant as this closet sub could have wished for and yet as emotionally supportive as she needs. His flat out unwillingness to accept her excuses based on her age, or the gossip which will ensue, shows a strong back bone, but even as he commands her obedience to his sexual demands he is respectful of her natural fears. While short in length, Teaching Molly has everything required in such a romance: a yummy alpha hero, a heroine who is easy to relate to, and a powerful attraction between them which can not be denied. This is a fast, truly enjoyable, totally hot, get-ready-to-turn-your-fan-on read! Five Angels
