By Ray Rivas
Le Bonbon is a daring, sensual coming-of-age tale that seduces with its lyrical prose and emotional depth. Set in a quiet Spanish fishing village, the story follows Francisco Piedra, a devoted baker and soft-spoken husband whose life is shaped by tradition — until the arrival of Amapola, a young woman who stirs up forgotten desires.
Still grieving and emotionally distant from his wife Maria, Francisco struggles to balance his moral code with the slow, burning attraction he feels toward Amapola.
As guilt and longing gnaw at him, he finds an outlet in Amelia, an older, dominant woman who awakens the primal side of his nature. But desire never stays simple — and Amapola’s growing awareness of her own sensual power shifts the balance of everything.
Raw, poetic, and emotionally complex, Le Bonbon explores the messy intersections of lust, love, loyalty, and temptation. Ray Rivas crafts a world where sexual politics collide with inner conflict — and no one escapes unchanged.
"Le Bonbon isn’t just erotica, it’s a story with a pulse. It’s poetic, strange, and emotionally messy in the best way. Francisco is a walking contradiction: a baker who tries to keep his life ‘sweet and simple’ but is pulled into the complex web of adult longing and regret. Amapola is a symbol of awakening and Amelia is a storm you don’t see coming. If you like your stories sultry, literary, and emotionally raw, this is your book."
