I'm always disappointed with Naughty Nooners because I never think they are long enough or always think they are too short. I really liked Jake and Victoria. The story was hot and I thought the little twist from their past was good. I have read one other story of Ms. Wynter's and this one makes me want to read more!

In "The After Party", Wynter Daniels tells the story of Jake & Victoria who meet after a wedding & end up having a very erotic first date post-wedding. These 2 characters are actually a little more human than would be expected for this genre of e-books & the twist with them potentially being cousins something they discover after sex is a nice twist. Granted of course in this world, they aren't really related & the sex & passion continue on. Definitely a pair of characters whose story could be developed much further than this short one.

Another quick, hot read from Wynter Daniels! As the cover points out, what we have here is a bit of a naughty nooner...that may just be a bit more!
When two strangers hook up after a wedding, they discover that they have a lot in common – they are both teachers and love cats, and are extremely attracted to one another. Of course when the steamy time ends and they find out that they are both related to the groom...can you say uncomfortable? You’ll have to read this for yourself to find out what happens, but let’s just say there is more than just one twist to this hot & steamy little read!

Victoria and Jake meet at a wedding reception and are attracted to each other. Jake invites Victoria to go out for a drink but Victoria invites him to her apartment instead. There's a little twist in this one, but you'll have to read it for yourself to find out what it is. In spite of it's shortness, it is a great, sexy story.

Cute! A real quickie. The question/problem was a surprise and the decision at the end made me chuckle.

I liked this. Short to the point...fun...and with just a little excitement about the characters possible link in the past and future.

Great short story. This read is explosive, sexy, erotic and to the point. The author did an excellent job of making sure the story flowed from scene to scene. Great character interaction was steamy, hot and very fulfilling and a little bit of intrigue. Highly recommend.

August 3, 2011These short stories from Ellora's Cave publishing are erotic but they too often are stupid, too.
Go to a cousin's wedding; as the wedding is breaking up notice a stranger across the room; go to the ladies room; come out and find him leaning up against the wall; take him home - riding in his car; have hot sex with him.
All within less than an hour. At least they used a condom.

Short and sweet compared to other Wynter Daniels books. If you are looking for a good book to read but you don't want a long drawn out plot, this is just the book you're looking. To make it a no brainier, the book is Free. Great job as usual Wynter.

This was a short story, but that didn't take away from the awesomeness of it. Would have been even better with a few more chapters. Great book Wynter!

Entertaining book to read while waiting for your appointment.

Whoa, short! A completely pointless story with flat characters and a crap storyline. The story is rushed and ends quite sudden. It's main focus is the sex scene, which is also crap. it's a complete waste of time.

I've read a few naughty Nooners and I have to say this was one of the better ones. I wanted to give it 4 stars but it was just a little too short. I would have liked it a little longer.
It's fun and I enjoyed the characters. If you finish a book and do just want a quick read this is it.

I loved the story and it has such protential to be GREAT! I thought the meeting was a little fast, I would have liked to have seen at least one dance and a conversation before they run off to get down and dirty. Like I said, good potential, but not finished enough for my taste.

Vicki Melrose and Jacob Whitmeyer meet at a wedding.
They leave together and go to her place it's very close.
After they become well acquainted, they find out they may be related.
Why this was a huge problem for them seemed really stupid to me.
Love is too rare to worry about that kind of nonsense.
If they were worried about what other people would think, they should have realized that no one would think to ask them about anything like this as they don't have the same last name !!!
If they were worried about their children possibly having medical problems they could have done some research on the matter *and/or* adopted children if they were still paranoid about it.

Far too many people believe that science has proven that closely related people always, as in 100% of the time, have defective offspring.
While there is a slightly higher chance of a recessive gene manifesting, it's just not that great, as long as the family does not continue to interbreed over many generations.
I'm always surprised to find people never consider that such a match would be just as likely to bring out a desirable trait.

*** Why Inbreeding Really Isn't As Bad As You Think It Is ***
By Alasdair Wilkins
November 2011
"...Professor Alan Bittles, an adjunct professor at the Centre for Comparative Genomics at Australia's Murdoch University, who has worked on the subject for over three decades and in 2008 conducted a review of forty-eight studies from eleven countries on the rate of birth defects in the children of first cousins.
He found that increased risks do exist, but not nearly to the extent that we might imagine. While there's about a 2% risk of birth defects in the general population, first-cousin children have about a 4% chance. Of course, you can phrase that in any number of ways, depending on how you want to spin it. On the one hand, that means that there's double the risk of birth defects in the children of first cousins. On the other hand, 96% of such children are born completely healthy, which is still the vast majority.
What's more, Professor Bittles found that only 1.2% suffered increased infant mortality rates. Generally speaking, these are marginal increases we're talking about, hardly the sort of guaranteed horrific outcomes that are often associated with inbreeding. But all that shows is that inbreeding isn't as bad as we often think - a statement worth making to be sure, but probably not totally earth-shattering..."
* Why a Little Inbreeding Can Be Good for You *
In 2008, researchers at the deCODE Genetics company in Reykjavik conducted a study of all Icelandic couples born between 1800 and 1965, a cohort that included some 160,811 couples. The results were, to put it mildly, unexpected:
Researchers were shocked to find that for women born between 1800 and 1824, marriages between third cousins produced an average of 4.04 children and 9.17 grandchildren, while marriages between eighth cousins or more distantly related couples had averages of only 3.34 children and 7.31 grandchildren. For women born between 1925 and 1949, with mates related at the degree of third cousins, the average number of children and grandchildren were 3.27 and 6.64, compared with 2.45 and 4.86 for those with mates who were eighth cousins, or more distantly related.
Lead author Dr. Kari Stefanson called these "counterintuitive, almost dislikable results", and yet after isolating for possible socioeconomic factors - a particularly easy task in Iceland, which is one of the most homogeneous countries on the planet - he and his team were left to conclude that there is some biological basis for this apparent increase in reproductive fitness...
... Ultimately, Stefansson concluded that maybe our taboos against consanguinity, or the marriage of related people, haven't just overestimated existing risks - they've actually covered up potential benefits..."

Just a bit more about this subject.
When scientists say anything like "counterintuitive, almost dislikable results" it means they have a bias on what they want the outcome to be.
They should NOT be doing any research on this topic.
Science should be done by people without an agenda, that have no stake in the outcome.
I'm guessing the lead author who said this, Dr. Kari Stefanson, is very religious, and that this result contradicts important parts of his faith.
He should be ashamed to have taken part in this research, and even more so for claiming to be a scientist while espousing views like these.
VERY ashamed.

These short and steamy erotic literary interludes are nothing short of fairytales for adult audiences. This one isn’t quite as descriptive as some but is leaves little for the imagination. My one major criticism of this and other stories of this genre is that (considering the unlikelihood of it taking place in real life) it seems to overstress the safe sex policy. I doubt that even the most conceited man would carry a pocketful of condoms on the off chance of multiply getting lucky. It also breaks the mood with a reminder that everyone is mortal and very bad things can happen to people that take shortcuts and simply go with the flow. Technically there is a fine line separating fairytales from fables but when it comes to erotica morals aren’t always welcome. This said, this introduction of Victoria and Jake takes the reader beyond a one night stand and twists its way to many unexpected issues. Luckily this hot and steamy fairytale has the traditional happy ending. With its somewhat tempered descriptions, this book may well appeal to a broader reading audience. I, for one, found it well worth the time and effort to read and write this review.

The star rating given reflects my opinion within ‘the official goodreads rating system’.
1 star: Didn’t Like it
2 stars: It’s Okay
3 stars: Liked it
4 stars: Really Liked it
5 stars: It Was Amazing
I don’t really give a rat-fuck that there are some who think I ‘owe’ an explanation for my opinion. Nope, nada, and not sorry about it.
Sometimes I may add notes to explain what my opinions are based on, and sometimes I don’t. I do this for me, on my books, in my library and I don’t ‘owe’ any special snowflakes a thing. Fuck off if you don’t like it and stop reading my shit.
Particularly given the ‘modifications’ to reader’s personal content going on (and outright censorship), unless particularly motivated I will not comment in detail.
It would help if GR was forthcoming in the new ‘appropriate’ and would make a site-wide announcement delineating the new focus from a reader-centric site to one that is now for authors and selling.

Victoria is at a wedding reception, and she sees a strange man who catches her eye. After a bit of chaos, she finds her way to the restroom. When she leaves, he's standing there, waiting. The two of them decide to leave the reception together after barely an introduction...and rather than head to the bar they'd discussed going to, they wind up on her couch instead. They quickly end up naked and twisting, followed by a discussion about how they might be related. A little backwards, don't you think? This was a quick read, nothing spectacular, nothing completely awful. It served the purpose of passing time, and that's about it.

Victoria Melrose was at her cousin's wedding when this tall sexy man caught her eye. Detoured helping another cousin when she returns he is gone. With reluctance she heads to the bathroom, primps and there he is waiting outside for her. With an impulse she asks him back to her place. Jake is just as attracted to her and they find out they have many things in common. Uninhibited they partake of their desires. When the passion clears, another question arises, are they related? This is a great fast read (only 2 chapters). This is a great read, over lunch or in a waiting room. So sexy the pages sizzle!!!

Two people met at a wedding. They decide to have ater party of their. After a heated exchange between the two they learn they have met before. Will this new found knowledge ruin their hot romance.
This story was okay. I was disapointed in it. To me it felt rushed even for a quick read. It had all the components on being great but it fell short.

This was an ok freebie. I liked the characters and the story ok and there was definitely a heart-stopping surprise at the end that got my attention. I wouldn't read this again, but it was ok for passing time or for something to read. This was written well, but the story didn't really pull me in or have a connection feel to it. Pretty much there. Good Luck

One night stands
A short story. But although short it had okay romantic hot moments... well slutty shall I say. I almost had a oh no you did not moment but you will have to read the story for yourself to learn what I am talking about. I believe these are a collection of short story's.

Disappointingly short. It all felt a bit hurried almost as if the author wanted to how few word they could use to get the job done.
