This is a story full of passions sensuality and longing. I was enamored with the character of Lena, and the author skillfully brings the tumultuous circumstances surrounding them to life with remarkable clarity. The storyline itself is easy to follow and I found it to be very original and decently crafted. If you're into romance fiction like me, you will enjoy this book very much like I have. Happy I found this book.

This is a story about Lena and Sebastian, in which the older Lena seduces Sebastian. The book is full of sensuality and I could feel the longing and emotions throughout the book. Very well written, and the way author depicts them try to salvage their failed infatuation has left a memorable impression. Very well thought out characters and a very enjoyable book, highly recommended.

"A Seducer in Love" is a novel that manages to have a great deal of erotic tension and sensuality while delving into the emotional and tumultuous realities of love, lust, obsession and seduction. Billy McCoy has written a wonderfully evocative and emotionally charged novel that is intensely authentic with a provocative and yet introspective tone that really creates a memorable story. The writing is sharp, lush, vibrant and engaging; fleshing out the story and the characters of Lena and Sebastian in intricate and unexpected ways. This is a novel that has a lot of heat, a great deal of drama, an insightful exploration and a truly enjoyable plot to get immersed in. Overall, the story was compelling and well worth the read.

A Seducer in Love, Billy McCoy
In the vast literature of romance, A Seducer in Love stands out-it is a vigorous attempt to reconstruct a failed infatuation into a romantic success. The story springs to life when the older Lena seduces twenty eight year old Sebastian. Before long the relationship is broken off, and Sebastian attempt to blame himself and thus absorbing Lena of any responsibility. It is an open wound disguised as taking the high road!

Review for the Book Slave
Clever and engaging. Wonderfully written stories about love and life.
Prolific author Billy McCoy (Strange Fruit, 2013, etc.), has written about characters that almost seem to object to their own storyline. In the first piece, The Book Slave, Skyler Mitchell is confused and afraid—mostly because she loves her boyfriend, Connor Louis, so much that it hurts; and because she is pregnant with his child. At the ripe age of 20, the strong-willed woman vows to have the child and raise it. She realizes, that Connor’s marriage proposal is nothing more than his way of expressing his love of the idea of love—rather than actual feelings toward her. His prospective career in professional football is much more important than the responsibility of a family.
The Pine Street Peddler is emotion inducing, to say the least. At 22, Vera Brown is unemployed and takes a job at Valumart—where money is valued and employees are disposable accessories. “Many of Valumart’s workers also [rely] on taxpayers—because they can’t support their families “on $7.25 an hour. At work, Vera forms a close working relationship Stephen, who informs her: “We call this cursed place the Pine Street Peddler, because of the way they treat their employees. They sell more pine boxes around here than the nearest funeral home.” Over the course of some time, Vera, with the help of her coworkers Stephen and Tania, decide to form a union after coming to better understand the injustices big corporations (such as Valumart) impose upon their employees. This story is rather reminiscent of required Literature found in the stacks of a College library, thought provoking with emotional depth.
The Glass Orangerie is a story of love and loss—with the possibility of love found. One that is likely very relatable for anyone who has ever been in love with the inability to let go (for one reason or another). Rosette, a middle-aged nurse admits of her “embarrassing disaster” of a relationship with Justin, that she cannot “get him out of [her] mind, no matter how hard [she] tries.” After her daughter, Paula, calls her worried that she’s killed her musician husband, she rushed to the situation to figure out what, exactly, is going on. Things are okay with Paula and her husband, however the incident seems to force Rosette to rethink the relationships in her life, and consider the love that she wants and deserves.
Laced with intense liaisons and surprising plot twists—the relatable, strong characters completely make this novella one you’ll instantly connect with. McCoy’s flash fiction is unique in the way that it commands attention and will not let go until the end. The way his characters’ lives mash together in ways unknown until the end is simply flawless and poetic.
This emotion-grabbing fiction at its best; The Book Slave is a literary piece you’ll love.

"The Book Slave" is the kind of intensely emotion and drama rich collection of short stories that when you're finished makes you feel as if you've been on a wonderful journey of self-discovery, love and life. Billy McCoy perfectly captures the struggles and successes of relationships and family life in a compelling way, drawing up a well of emotion that helps the reader connect to the characters and feel invested in just how they adapt to life and each other.
The stories all have a strong plot that shines through and conveys emotion in subtle and overt ways. The writing is fresh, inviting, vivid with imagery and uses strong dialogue to push the stories along. The author has a talent for writing and for creating characters that feel real and authentic, bringing each of the three short stories to life in interesting ways. Overall, I had a great time reading "The Book Slave" and I think it was well worth the read.

An absolute wonderful read from start to finish, and one that I am sure I will be giving a reread in the very near future. There's really nothing that I could say that is negative about The Book Slave; it's refined to a high standard that I often don't see much of these days - and especially not with indie published books found through the kindle. If you're looking for an exceptional read for several reasons, then look no further ,and give The Book Slave a chance. It may not be for everyone, but I'm sure the uniqueness of the plot, originality of the characters, and pure well-refined nature of the writing style is bound to impress even the most critical readers out there, as it has myself.
I highly recommend it! In my experience, The Book Slave compliments a nice cup of tea or helps make the most use of the time of a break at work.

This was one of those perfect sized books for when you are commuting or waiting at the doctor’s office.
Inside I found a collection of three short stories.
The author did a great job crafting the characters. In the first story I liked Skyler immediately and her strong will was accurately portrayed by the author.
The other two stories were also good. All three stories were stories of people, of love, life, romance and learning life’s lessons.
The stories kept me entertained and made the waiting time at the doctor’s office go by quickly.
