Book Review: Truly, Madly, Deeply, You by Cecilia Robert

Truly, Madly, Deeply, You by Cecilia Robert My rating: 3 of 5 stars I received an ARC copy of this contemporary romance novella from the publisher, Inkspell Publishing. Since I enjoy a nice short romantic read, a one-nighter as it were, once in a while, I dove in anxiously. The story introduces us to Liese, a [...]

Book Review: For Now and Always by Stella Berkley #erotica

For Now and Always by Stella Berkley My rating: 4 of 5 stars Strangely, this will be my first erotica review on the blog. When you consider I write the stuff myself, you realize how odd that actually is. I took a look at this steamy fantasy novella because the author was recommended to me [...]

Six Sentence Sunday: Give me chills, baby! #sixsunday

These sentences are from my published erotic horror short, Blood [...]

Book Review: Dragon's Teeth by Suzanne van Rooyen

Dragon's Teeth by Suzanne van Rooyen

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I am generally not much of a Science fiction reader, tending more towards the paranormal, romance and erotica stories when I am in the mood for a good read, so I jumped into this one a bit blind, as they say.

I have to say, despite not really getting into the story or the genre as a whole, I did enjoy the read. The author did a great job of pulling me into the story unfolding and after a few chapters, I was able to really relax into the story being presented. I admit to never really identifying with the MC, but I don't blame the author for that one. The fault there is in my own desires when it comes to the genre of stories I truly enjoy and get wrapped up in.

The prose itself was well done and smooth, and the book lacked some of the basic editing issues that are prevelant in some of the smaller press offerings. That was a welcome surprise after some of the stories I have reviewed lately.

Certainly a book I would recommend to fans of sci-fi and mystery type novels. I will be looking for other titles from this author in genres I like a bit better, as I did enjoy the "voice" the story was written in.

Six Sentence Sunday: Can you say slacker? I Know I Can. #sixsunday

As the title at the top illustrates (sorta, since it's text and not a graphic), I am a big fat slacker. At least when it comes to writing erotic stories. Being a pen name has it's drawbacks, the most pressing of which is the fact that I don't get top billing. As such, I haven't written anything I would consider erotica since I polished off my story for Tiffany Reisz's Felt Tips anthology.

I should really get on that, huh?

Anyway, this week's six was pulled lovingly out of my ass at the last minute. It has potential, I think. What do you think? MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY, PLEASE.

The best thing about Stanley, aside from his girthy cock, was his penchant for blindfolds. I love blindfolded sex. Invisible hands groping and probing, nothing to distract you from the delectable reactions of your body.

The shiver that ran through me jerked me alert enough to realize I still had the phone in my hand. "Uh…yeah, I guess if he asked for me specifically it would be rude to say no. "

No sense letting your pimp know you really do want to fuck the John he's hooking you up with, right?

Well, that was fun. I will have to see if I can channel that chick again. She seems interesting.

Catch ya later.

Gave the Book Review Blog a Little Facelift

I started playing around with the blog again, and even went so far as to create a custom banner for myself. I also darkened up the theme. I know some people don't like darker blogs, but I like how it turned out.

What do you think? Love it or hate it? Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions.
