REVIEW

"One hot collection of tales"

This book is all about fantasies, the ones most women dream about. There is the sexy man at the office, role reversal with the dominant man submitting to every desire of the woman, the harem, the threesome with two beautiful men, and the glamorous stranger.

"Alphabetical Order": Most women have that one man at the office they can't help but fantasize about, the one they can't help but wonder "What if?" That is the premise here. The alphabetical order of sex is many of the different methods and items used.

"Reversal" is all about the submission of the dominant, alpha male, who is tired of being in charge, to the woman. He wants his woman to command him, care for him, and take charge. How many out there have not dreamed of being in just this situation at least once in their life?

"Exotica" is the time-old harem fantasy. What would it be like to be "kept" for the sole purpose of indulging in a little bit (or a lot) of physical pleasure. To be primped and pampered in preparation for the master. And oh, the interesting things that can be done with a few strands of pearls.

"Tempest" begins in a tempest, a violent storm erupting out of nowhere, stranding cars on the side of the road. But that is not the tempest this story is really about. A young woman seeks haven and finds a small house, which is the temporary home to two of the most beautiful men she has ever seen. And they are twins at that! Ever wondered what it would be like to have two men at beck and call, satisfying every whim? This story has the answer.

And finally comes "Biker Broad", a little game of role playing among strangers. Two strangers meet on a private beach and indulge in a little bit of passionate play.

Now, this reviewer does not typically read erotica, having only read one or two such books in the past, so had a little bit of trouble getting into this book at the beginning. This was not helped by the place of choice for starting this fine book. This book was started on a lunch break from work and after only a couple pages, had to be put down for later. A bit too hot to handle for relaxed reading on a break. But none of this is for lack of skill and talent of the author. This is a book to be savored in the privacy of one's own home.

After getting used to the graphic details used, this book was certainly one to be enjoyed, Just a little shocking for one not used to it. Good writing and common fantasies used made this a fun read. This reviewer admits to having imagined each of these fantasies at least once. Also interesting was the fact that all but two of the stories never used the woman's name. A few never even used the man's name. Was this perhaps to make it easier for the reader to imagine oneself in a few, or all, of these roles perhaps? That was definitely a nice touch. All in all, a uniquely refreshing collection of stories. Another side note to keep in mind however, the reader should definitely have one's partner readily available during or after reading. For that will be needed to cool the flames bound to be generated by this book. So how about indulging in a little Hidden Passion today.
