Just Don't Mess With Us: Family Matters

These stories are fast food, ice creams, snacks. Right after eating them, you will feel hungry again. They have no nutritious value whatsoever, but I hope you'll find them tasty.

I loved this. It's twisted and wrong and completely implausible... and entertaining the entire time. Not recommended for anyone lacking in a sense of humor or suffering from an inability to suspend reality - and maybe morality - for the sake of their own amusement. Or at least long enough to appreciate the funny and remarkably well-written stories in this book.

Wow, I loved this book. I think Andrew Ashling is one seriously solid, talented writer. A Dish Served Cold was thought provoking and it's stuck with me. This is a compete turnaround, funny, sly and cheeky at it's best. Revenge was never so fun, over the top and satisfying. I look forward to what's next from this writer.
As with all other of Andrew's stories, this one also comes with warnings. At this point Andrew shouldn't surprise me anymore, but it seems it doesn't matter what type of story he writes, he manages to shock and entertain me every time. I found myself torn between being disturbed with their antics and laughing my ass off, on a couple of occasions at the same time.

Okay, first of all, let me say up front that this book is DEFINITELY not going to be everyone's cup of tea. It is graphic, it will be offensive to many, and it borders on the obscene.
Those are the reasons I loved it. A book that takes extreme chances, an author that doesn't care if he pisses you off or makes you feel like you might be struck by lightning by the time you have finished reading is an author that I find refreshing.

This is a funny romp but do not search a realistic story in here; unless you don’t compare it to some frat house type of story where the boys involved always try to prove that, under 21 years old you are really not an adult. Don't get mistaken by the cover, there is very little of innocence or naivete in this book.
Actually one of the four boys, Matt, is 22 years old, and then there is Jason, 19, Jamie, 17 and Alan, the narrative voice, 19. Alan doesn’t say much about how they are together, I did...more

I laughed a lot. But warning, at times it's not very politically correct. But any book that's got this in it is worth reading:
When I finally came in him, we were both relaxed. Under the shower he sighed: “You're better than Risperdal or Zoloft, you know.” “And you, my heart, can get me without a doctor's prescription,” I replied, just a tad self-satisfied, “though I must warn you that I've been told that I am quite addictive.”And I liked this bit too about the youngest of the four, a twink who...more
This is a hard one to rate. Every story is a combination of being horrid, twisted, sexy and yet kind of sweet in an odd way. It's also very funny. I would definitely like to read a few more of their stories.
Enjoyable, quick read. Very "slice-of-life" focused, with each of the 5 short stories telling another antic-filled tale in the lives of this unconventional family.
On the downside, I never really felt like I got to know the boys very well. I mean, I know that you don't want to mess with them (because they will get you good), and I know they love each other...but I don't really know them as individuals. Another complaint would be editing - this story could definitely use some. (I noticed a number...more

I'm not quite sure how to rate this. There were things I.liked, but they kept being overshadowed by the things I didn't like or was uncomfortable with.
When it started, I thought it was cute. I liked the way it was written, and the characters were interesting. I tried to remember these guys were young (17-23 I think) to keep their behavior somewhat in perspective.
There were quite a few times I was chuckling out loud. However, the stories of revenge proved to be beyond my comfort zone (very few...more

After reading other reviews, I decided to buy this book, expecting a quick, fun read. I decided not to finish it after reading through to the second "slice" of the book because I kept growing more and more uncomfortable with the matieral. While, I know I should take it for what it is, a short look into the lives of a polyamorous relationship, some plot points just set my teeth on edge.

Just Don't Mess With Us: Family Matters
I took a break from Andrew Ashling's series "The Invisible Chains" to read "Just Don't Mess With Us: Family Matters". Clearly Andrew had also taken a break from writing about Squires, Warlords and, well, maybe not family issues. In this story, I again love the voice he uses in writing and am impressed that, in a relatively simple tale, he can make he laugh, blush, take offense, and rethink my values. His stories don't necessarily change my values, but they...more

This book was a strange mix of sadism, homo-eroticism and humor. I initially had some difficulty getting over the sadistic part of the story and some of he unrealistic things that happened, but as I continued to read it and stopped taking the story seriously, I couldn't help but laugh at the antics of the four colorful main characters into whose quasi-family (the members of the 4-some at time act like brothers and then switch to kinky-mode) life we take a peek.
This is more like a collection of short stories about the same bunch of people. And it's funny!!! I think I love Matt's granny the best.
But the sex is HOT. Seriously hot! This was very entertaining!

Fun and interesting stories though I had some trouble with the language used and the characters of the boys.
Short, sweet, explicit and kinky. Perfect for a light afternoon of reading hardcore boy-love.
Very funny

Very interesting.
What I liked: the humorous tone throughout most of the story and the hot kinky sex in this easy, quick read.
What I didn't like: I was a bit uncomfortable with the age (17 years) of the youngest MC (yes, you can call me old-fashioned which is funny considering what I read) and very uncomfortable with the revenge scene. To me that "scene" was rape plain and simple, not to mention criminal.

What a fantastic fun!
I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this, but I am so glad that I did. The witty and sarcastic humor is very lighthearted but brilliantly poses two questions - what is 'normal'? and can you trully be in love with more than one person?
I really do hope there will be more than just 5 short stories :)

Funniest book I've read in a very long time. :-D

I write mainly gay, m/m, slash, yaoi stories. I suppose, with a few exceptions, I should call them novels really.
