FUR-ocious Lust SHORT #4 - Tigers

A BBW and a Tiger get roaring!

***This is a STANDALONE SHORT. This a NOT a full-length book. This short ends in a happily ever after with no cliffhanger***

Curvy Vanessa Soler, seamstress at her dad's strip club, never expected her father to bet her in a poker game. And lose! Now she's got to deal with big, bad shifters wanting to claim the prize...ie her. On top of all that, she'll have to dance. On stage. Shit just got real.

Cash Tigris went to pick up a prize at a local curvy dancers strip club. What he found instead was the sexiest woman he'd ever seen prowling on stage, dressed in an itty bitty tigress costume, wiggling her fake tail and giving him looks that made him ready to yell the word: Mine!

Passion flows between them from the first look, thicker than boiling lava. But when she realizes who he is, will she give in to the need to be his, or refuse to be any man's prize?

Reader Note: This story contains some scorching hot sex. If you have problems with low down dirty hanky-panky, you might want to skip this one. However, if you like a tiger who can’t get enough of his curvy woman and some cheeky humor, this is the story for you. Enjoy.

I like this book along with the rest of the series. The characters were well developed and funny. There was sexual content in this book but not overly done. I love her stories I just wish they were longer to get more of the coupleslife. I can't wait to see what happens to his brothers.

Omg one hot read

Vanessa and Cash's story had me glued to the story line from the beginning. I love how Cash and Vanessa met at Charlie's even though they both did not know she was won in a poker game for him as a mate. Does love come at a price or will it happen instantly.

Milly did a great job in this short story I look forward to reading many more books from this author. She draws you into the storyline and makes you wonder if love can survive anything that is thrown in the mix. I would recommend this series for anyone who loves paranormal romance with a twist.

Vanessa's father, owner of a popular BBW strip club, does the unthinkable and bets her in a poker game...and loses. The blows just keep coming when one of the dancers calls in sick and she has to take her place on stage. She's not sure what she's going to do about the bet when she meets an amazing man, but is sure she'll figure it out. She's loving spending time with this man...until she discovers he's the one who was supposed to claim her as his prize.

Cash's father has won something from his friend Charlie in a poker game and asks him to go retrieve it. His father fails to mention that this something is actually a woman. When he goes to the strip club to claim his prize, he sees Vanessa on stage and completely forgets why he's there. It ceases to matter. All that matters is her, his mate. Everything is on the line, though, when he and Vanessa discover that she is the prize Slade's father spoke of.

I liked this book, though there were a few places that didn't work well writing wise, or left a bunch of questions. It also could have used some help with edit/proof-reading, as some of the wording was awkward at times. I did like the characters, but the actual drama really wasn't a strong enough story driver to make the story. I didn't feel like reading any of the other stories in the series after reading this one.

This is one short light read. Vanessa as a h was upbeat, funny and honest and that what made me give this book another star.

Cash the H met Vanessa at a Strip Club because his father Vincent had won him a prize. Cash literally fall in love with Vanessa at first sight when she saw her dancing and forgetting all about the prize that he should take which is actually Vanessa.

I’m not really sure about the plot of Vincent winning Vanessa as a prize is needed. The two just really need to meet for the spark to happen even without the “prize plot” which was basically weak in the story.

STRIPE-TEASE ( FUR-ocious Lust SHORT # 4 - Tigers)
by Milly Taiden
April 22, 2015
Publisher: Latin Goddess Press
approximate pages: 65
Romance: Paranormal / Fantasy > Shifters


-- MY THOUGHTS --
Judging a Book by it's Cover:
Colors "pop" and are visually attractive. Cover models depict an interracial romance. If that "offends your senses", better look elsewhere for something to read. Steamy hot pose, beautiful big cat - I'm hooked on the cover, it is stunning. The synopsis sounds fun with a healthy dose of sexy.
Looking Deeper:
I've been on a PNR hiatus for SEVERAL years now, so I needed to reset the brain and remember why I found these characters sexy to begin with (before the "sparkles like a diamond" wannabes came and ruined it for me).
I purchased this book, not as an ARC, and unfortunately I'd come across several places in the first half of the novella where a word is missing or added with no need. The second half was clean. Ms. Taiden's proofreader and/or editor need to be more vigilant. I will not count this against her as a writer, however, since she entrusts her people to find and correct these minor errors. But would strongly advise that the proof it again and re-release a corrected copy.
Vanessa is an extremely enjoyable character, she's smart and sassy, independent and confidant. Cash is just melt-worthy. Somehow, Ms. Taiden created the perfect blend of Alpha male and Gentleman to create a very sexy, likable character. There were only a few secondary characters and they lent support nicely. The dialogue is believable and the interactions were good. Being a micro-novella, the story was over in a blink. I would have liked to have seen more background story built up, but again... with the length of story, it did a decent job and creating an illusion of history while trying to provide a bit more character depth and present time interaction. The main conflict is resolved in record time with only some minor predictability along the way. The conclusion was solid, leaving no cliffhangers. It was a fun, quick read but I'd still suggest that the first half get scoured, freeing it of errors.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Stripe-Tease is wild, witty, and wonderfully outrageous. Vanessa’s situation (being bet in a poker game!) is pure shifter chaos, but her sass and strength keep her in control. Cash is instantly smitten, and their chemistry ignites the second their eyes meet. It’s over-the-top in all the best ways, with a heroine who won’t be tamed and a tiger who’s up for the challenge.

Hot panty soaking read By: Milly Taiden. This is a hot steamy short and another amazing story in the Furosious lust series . I love the fast pace plot and cold shower i need sex told by the Smut Queen. I wait for each of these wonderfully invite story's. Hot curvy woman meets sexy as sin Alpha tiger in the most unexpected place.

"She hadn't realized how badly not having sex had affected her. She gave him her address and thanked every deity she could think of that he couldn't tell she was ten seconds from flinging herself at him and asking to baptize his car the old-fashioned way. Like in the back seat getting hot and heavy."

Vanessa Soler worked for her dad not on the stage but make sexy clothes for the dancers. One night all that changed trying to help a friend. In that one night she meet the one man that would change her world.

Cash Tigris worked for his dad when he called him to his office saying he won him a gift at hos last poker game. When Cash shows up at the club he forgets all about the gift. his only thought the curvy dancer prowling across the stage.

"You're pretty creative, aren't you?” She nodded, rubbing her hands on the leather of her seat. The damn car was like a sex toy—all warm and soft, making her excited just looking at it. “I have to be creative in my line of business, or I’d lose my mind.”

Tigerliscious

Yum love Milly's short stories and this one didn't disappoint on the sexiness. Vanessa and Cash are hot together.

Vincent which is Cash's father is a sneaky man but I guess in a good way. His wife wants their sons mated and so Vincent decides to take matters in his own hands but in a direction I had a hard time accepting. Then there's Charlie which is also Vanessa's father he lost a bet and well Vincent thinks his daughter would be perfect for Cash. So there ya go. Charlie is a bad gambler and of course Vanessa is passed and can't understand how her father can do it.

As the story goes on Cash ends up intervening in a fight that Vanessa is caught in. She's never seen a tiger shifter until Cash and the two hit it off and neither of these two realize that she's the bet. Cash thinks he was going to the club to pick up something not someone. When he sees her on stage dancing and the trouble she's facing he forgets all about picking up the present. Little does he knows he just did.
They end up seeing one another for awhile and then Vanessa comes up with an idea to go to where he works and seduce him then she runs into Vincent and the tiger is let out of the bag. She feels betrayed and used. Will she forgive him if he knew or not or run far away from him as she can. Cash knows she's his mate but there's no way he can let her go.

Fate is just that ... If it supposed to happen it does. Milly Taiden has given us another cute little short story. It will make you laugh in part and make you hot in other parts. (smiles)

Parents we cant choose them and even though sometimes they just make us want to scream we can’t help but love them. Vanessa’s father had a sure bet, a chance to make more money and get a better foot hold on life. Well it wasn’t in the cards for him and he lost the bet.

Vincent knows a lot, the most important is when not to argue with his wife. In this instance she set him with the task of finding mates for their sons... No easy feat. Then a situation drops in his lap and at the end of a card game he’s won. The gift he won he decides would suit his son Cash.

We all know how the lack of communication can mess up the best laid plans. What a cute little story this is. Cash and Vanessa are thrown together by fate and will have to see what happens in the end. This is a stand alone with a story that moves right along, it will grab you right to the end. Full of sweetness and a few aw.. What a gentleman moments along with a few oh damn like that moments. (Fan your face or get a towel) All good story with all good characters wrapped up in a all great story. Rawr! Gotta love a Tiger... Enjoy

ABSOLUTELY PURRFECT!
Another AMAZING short read!

Now we are in Vegas and have tigers instead of bears! Vanessa works as a costume designer at Charlie's and couldn't be more happy with her job. Until her dad informs her he lost her in a game of poker and a sick cat leads to being short a stripper and Vanessa must fill in. Cash has made a name for himself managing casinos. His parents think him and his brothers need to start looking for their mates and settle down. After being informed he has a prize to pick up at Charlie's he never expected to come face to face with a sexy tigress dancing on-stage.

I love that Milly writes about curvy women who are proud and embrace the body they have! They are not self conscience and know they deserve a happily ever after as much as the next girl. Vanessa is my kind of woman. She embraces her curves and doesn't settle for less than what she knows she deserves. Cash is the dirty mouth tiger who makes me want to purr.

**Beware filthy mouth alpha may just cause a hurricane in your panties**

This tiger caught her Stripes

Excellent short story -- entertaining and sexy!! This it's the fourth Fur-Ocious book, but the shifters have switched from bears to tigers, you can read this one without books 1-3, but I highly recommend all of them. And now a bit about the story...

Vincent wants his sons mated so he decides to take things into his own hands. He wins Vanessa for his son Cash in a poker game. Except Cash doesn't know what he won. When he goes to claim his prize he is entranced by the tiger dancing on stage. Nessa pulls him in by his tail at first sight.

Favorite passages:
- She wasn’t a dancer. She was the kind of person that could trip while standing still.
- For a second, she wasn’t sure what to do. Should she curtsy? Say thank you? Get down on her knees and repay with some oral? Decision, decisions.

Milly Taiden knew what she was doing. A sexy shifter and a sassy stripper/but not really a stripper. :)





With this book, the author will have you in desperate need of a fan.

Definitely worth the read.

Get ready for a dance to start a lifetime

Sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor! Vanessa is smart sexy and loyal to he dad who happens to own a gentleman club in Vegas where she designs all the outfits for the dancers. By chance she happens to fill in for a dancer the same night that Cash comes in looking for a pickup that took play between their dad's. His tiger is immediately drawn to her and the feelings are mutual and immediate. They hit it off and Cash realizes that she is in fact his mate, something he hadn't planned on but is excited about now. Chance brought them together and fate wound be denied, her sexy as sin happily ever after! Oh the things that happen in Vegas!

Cash and Vanessa are super hot together !! This "Furocious Lust Short" is wonderful. It's got deep thought filled characters you will love right away, an interesting plot with a mystery, and very hot erotic sex. Wow ! Cash's Dad won Vanessa from her father in a poker game. Cash knows he has a "gift" to collect, but doesn't know it's Vanessa. So when he walks in and sees her dance, he's positive she's his mate, but he is not aware she's "the gift". Vanessa knows her dad lost her in a bet, and is mad as hell, but doesn't know about Cash. He saves her from some creeps in the parking lot and sparks fly. Later they find out about the identity and the fur flies. Highly recommend. ENJOY !!!

Stripe Tease by Milly Taiden

Cash Tigris is suppose to stop by Charlie's club, a strip joint, to pick up a prize that his dad won for him in a poker game with the owner. Instead he is enchanted by a sexy curvy dancer dressed like a tigress. Vanessa can't believe her dad bet her in a poker game and lost, and on top of that one of the dancers calls in and the only person who can fill in is her and she creates the dancing costumes, she doesn't dance. On the bright side, she'll be the first to debut the tigress outfit... This was pretty short but holy cow hot. I love all these Furocious short stories and I can't wait to read about Cash's brothers. Keep them coming!!

Sizzly! Yum! This was funny and totally awesome! Great story about Vanessa and Cash and totally can't wait for his brothers stories! Thing is his dad Vincent wins Vanessa in a poker game but on one hand she happens to be his mate which is his fathers doing as well because he finds her somehow. However, Cash has no IDEA that his father won a person. He thought it was a thing or something not a person. We dont know this until the end. They have some hot sex and fall for each other all before thats revealed and it was revealed as an accident actually. HEA though and damn the sex is awesome as always Milly! I cant wait to read about his brothers! :)

Gotta love a Strip joint focusing on BBW's

I'm talking about a classy establishment where the girls are soft, curvy, full figured women who dance & only strip down to their sexy undergarments. Well actually they are elaborate costumes hand sewn by Charlie's daughter Vanessa. Enter Charlie playing poker with the rich & powerful Vincent Tigris where he looses. Charlie has put his daughter in the kitty. Vincent sends his son Cash to pick up 'his' prize.

Vincent & Charlie sit back to see how the plan plays out. And it's a hot & sexy ride! One that Milly Taiden writes very well!!

Another HOT shorty by Milly!
Milly has done it again with another hot shorty. This is the fourth book in the Furocious Lust Shorts series. Vanessa is a curvy girl who loves her curves. She is a seamstress at her dad’s strip club. When she finds out that her dad bet her in a poker game and then lost she is not happy. When Cash is sent to pick up the prize and sees Vanessa he can’t keep his hands off her. This is a novella, but the story is great! If you are looking for a short, hot and steamy read then you need to read this book. I can’t wait until the next book in this series comes out.

Milly Taiden sure writes some of the hottest steamy Paranormal Romance out there!

Beautiful curvy Vanessa works as a costume designers for her father's Vegas stripe club dancers. Cash, the alpha tiger shifter goes to the club to pick up the gift his father won for him. When Vanessa fills in for a sick dancer, Cash loses all thoughts of the gift. The hot sexy shifter only has eyes for the curvy beauty in the tigress outfit on stage.

Tease me

I have been so busy lately with work that I haven't been able to read! (Gasp!) Thanks to Milly Taiden I was able to get a quick fix today! I love her shorties! They are just the right amount of smut to get you through the day. This was a great read. Cash is just yum! I loved the banter between the characters and that, even though it was a short story, the couple actually developed a relationship and didn't just have sexy time. Thanks Milly. I needed that!

Stripe Tease is a Romance Short Story by Milly Taiden. In Stripe Tease, Vanessa works as seamstress in her dad's strip club. Her dad in a moment of stupidity loses Vanessa in a game of poker. Cash Tigris comes to collect his "prize" not realizing Vanessa is the prize. Cash is insta in love with Vanessa and much hotness ensues. I'm trying not to spoil the story here but meddling families play a part, which opens up the potential for more stories...which I would totally love. highly recommend.

4 1/2 Stars

I know Ms Taiden writes tons of books every year, but every once in a while, a couple get through with some grammar errors. Not so bad that it draws away from the story, but it does take a second to figure out what was supposed to have gone in that spot. I think there were maybe two or three in this book and one or two in the last Bear Furocious book. Again, not enough in that book to be an issue for the over all story.
