I needed something light, fun and hot as hell. Let me tell you these Sexy Shorts by Kathryn Nolan packed a punch. Delicious and hot erotica. What I really enjoyed and appreciated was the different genres. There’s historical, M/F/M,
F/F, M/M just to name a few. I was very satisfied. No pun intended ;) Some favorite of mine include One Hell Of A Restaurant, Wild Horse, Did You Touch Yourself?, The Wedding, Another Boring Night at the Opera, Seize The Day and Like Petals in the Sun which is going to be full novel. So I’m very excited to read more of Delilah and Henry. So if you’re in the mood for something very sexy this novella is it!

Ooowee! This collection of perfect “bedtime reading” shorts is all the best kinds of saucy, spicy & dirty!

Like a mega decadent box of chocolates, I treated myself to only a few stories at a time over several days - mostly so my nether regions didn’t spontaneously combust!

Advice: have your toys and or your partner(s😜) in happy-fun-time close by!

= = = = = =

#One Hell of a Restaurant : Table booked & I’ll have what she’s having! (*)

#Wild Horse : Saddled up and ready to swoon!

#The Hero & The Rookie : Swwwhheet baby cheeses! If MMF ménage is your jam, this short story is the whole freakin’ jar. (*)

#Did You Touch Yourself : Helllllo, Sir.

#The Gift : My first “historical erotica” experience & things sure got warm under all my hooped skirts. 😜

#He Was Luke Skywalker : aka nerds do “7MIH” with a “light sabre” that’s a “Force” to be reckoned with.

#Like Thieves in the Night : Couple if things in this one were improbable to my mind, o I couldn’t switch my brain off.

#Ambrose : Quim. Betwixt. Breeches. Dalliance. Bahahaha. Loved it.

#The Wedding : Sooooooo sexy & swoony. Sigh. I love MM romance. (*)

#Another Boring Night at the Opera : O is not just for Opera! #Sieze the Day (*)

#She’ll Always Know the Truth : Jaysus! I’ll never watch a certain music video the same way again.

#Let it Be You : Irish Virgin

#Like Petals for the Sun : Rare book sleuth sexiness!

(*) my faves

Sexy Shorts: Collection of sweet, filthy, red-hot short stories, written by Kathryn Nolan delivers as promised. What makes her collection a little more than advertised is a lighter touch and more rounded characters.

The first short story sets the tone. A couple sets the upper limit on the notion of public display of affection and in so doing spreads the love into several nicks and corners of a restaurant. This same notion of public lust will appear in a later short story. Generally, I do not like crooks getting lucky, but Ms. Nolan has made her crooks other than trigger happy drug running thugs.

Over all several alone time, or sharable warm up reads.

Drenched With Pleasure!
Sexy Shorts is a stimulating, passionate, exhilarating read. Kathryn Nolan is brilliant at captivating readers with a quick, blistering story and never has this prowess been more evident to me. I have admitted previously that I don't like short books; I prefer full length novels. However, the characters and settings of these short stories are masterfully rendered to life. I devoured the words. They set my mind and body ablaze! If you want to steam up your kindle and your bedroom, look no further. These stories deliver the heat in spades. They also exude connection, hope, yearning, romance, and love. This book packs a lot of diverse content into rapid-paced reads and Ms. Nolan's ability to stir the reader's imagination is stellar. The only thing I have to add is....MORE PLEASE! #NSFW #fuelforsexytimeswithyourboo #batteryoperatedboyfrindrequired #pleasurecentral

NO ONE and I mean NO ONE does a sexy short the way Kathryn Nolan does. Her short stories are filled with heat and passion, feelings and magic, desire and debauchery all within a few brief pages. And 14 of them together? I hope you're stocked up on ice... You're going to need it.

This collection of short, sexy stories is mother-effing gold. Somehow, Kathryn Nolan packs so much heart in all that heat leaves you wanting soooo much more. I want to demand full-length novels for all these stories because they're too good to only have a taste. 5++ stars!

#sexyshorts is how I met Kathryn Nolan, so this book full of 14 fantastic ones makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside... or maybe that’s hot and bothered?

This collection is some of Kathryn Nolan’s best work. Each story is quick and steamy, and gives you a little taste of her writing style. Bonus- one of the stories is all new to fans of the author!

Pick this up for some light but incredibly hot reading!

Get out your fire extinguisher cause you’re going need it. These stories aren’t just hot they sizzle! This isn’t a made for tv book, it’s so much more! Finally all my favorite sexy shorts in one hot spot! The author took the heat an amped it up to another stratosphere.
Each one of these fourteen stories is different and and not redundant in anyway except for the heat index . Not only are they sexy, steamy and romantic...they’re fun. You will find yourself smiling even while you’re FANNING yourself. Get yourself a cold drink before you start to read these...you’re gonna need it!
Of course I have my favorites, but I’m not going to say which ones they are cause you need to decide that on your own. I know there will be a topic in this book you’ll like. She nailed each one (pun intended). You may find you like a story topic you never ventured into before. Dipping into it a little bit with a sexy short may be just what you need to see if this is something you may want to indulge in a full length novel. Try it you may like it. Do you like firefighters, guys named Diego (sigh), naughty trysts....?
This is a book you can read cover to cover then over and over when you have some free time for a short story.
This author is a favorite of mine and I love her full length novels. She is versatile, fun, always gives us something to think about, knows how to put a spin you weren’t expecting and romantic in ways you never dreamed of. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a universe of sexy, and a little bit of naughty, and a lot of nice,romance.

Too hot to handle
This book is a roundup of some of Kathryn Nolan’s Sexy Shorts, all in one place! Plus, a new story about some sexy librarians! Having all these stories in one place, one after another is almost more hotness than I can handle!
All the stories, as usual with this author’s writing, are full of heat and emotion. It’s magic the way Kathryn Nolan is able to put so much emotion in such a small space. There are plenty of short stories and novellas out there, but none come close to the emotion present here. A wonderfully hot little read!

FIRE! This is a compilation of all the super HOT short stories this amazing author comes up with. She's got a dirty mind and we are so very thankful she shares it with us! These stories are just diverse and random tales of people getting down to business! Perfect for the cold winter nights, reading these stories will light all kinds of fires, Kindles will be melting all over the place! The beauty of her work comes through though, even when the stories are quick, dirty, and to the point, this author will make you feel like your there, in on the action, a scandalous voyeur if you will. A definite must read!

Wow!!!! These short, hot stories are so amazing!!

There's a little bit of everything in this collection. Enemies-to-lovers, forbidden romance, historical, and so many more. No matter what you might be in the mood for, it's here. The one thing that is the same in every one of these 14 short stories is the insane amount of heat.

I can't wait to see what new sexy shorts might be coming!!

*** ARC kindly provided by the author for an honest review. ***

Kathryn Nolan is definitely a hopeless romantic with a very dirty mind!
From sweet to utterly naughty, several shorts stories, steamy as hell, written with passion and heart. My kind of favorite guilty read served with a strong hint of hotness, sensuality and a bit of debauchery.
How to keep you warm during the cold days!
Damn that was some sexy shorts bites! Oh my…

5 stars!

This is a collection of 14 short stories by Kathryn Nolan and features an amazing variety of contemporary, historical, M/F, M/M, F/F and M/F/M stories! Some are more smutty, others are more romantic, but all of them are well written and engaging. Below is a quick summary and review of each short.

One Hell of a Resturant - Super hot and a very unique premise that follows three different couples hooking up while at a restaurant.

Wild Horse - Cute story about a cowboy falling for his brother's ex-fiance. This has the potential to be expanded for sure!

The Hero and the Rookie - A longer story featuring a menage relationship between a woman, her firefighter boyfriend, and his new co-worker. I've never read a MFM where all participants were intimate before and it was HOT.

Did you touch yourself? - Not one of my stand outs due to the second person narrative and the D/s relationship, which personally isn't my cup of tea. I can see why others would like it though!

The Gift - A sweet, historical romance about a woman in love with the man betrothed to her sister. Cute HEA ending and I could definitely see this working as a longer novella.

He was Luke Skywalker (Not Han Solo) - One of my favourites. College house party 'locked in the coat closet together' hook-up between two friends with great chemistry. I'd LOVE a full length version of this one!

Like Thieves in the Night - Very unique short about two rival criminals at a robbery hiding from the cops and hooking up. The enemies to lovers aspect was super sexy.

Ambrose - Another historical romance featuring an older, wealthy woman and her younger gardener. Not my favourite trope but the sex scene was great.

The Wedding - Another longer one, this time a M/M friends to lovers. I don't usually read M/M because I find it easier to relate to female characters, but this was a sweet and sexy romance with a great HEA. Very well developed plot and characters for such a short story.

Another Boring Night at the Opera - Established MFM relationship. Really hot and the dynamics between the three were very well written, but I think 'The Hero and the Rookie' is the better of the menage shorts, probably due to it's longer length.

Seize the Day - F/F teacher & student hookup. Not one of the standouts but still good.

She'll Always Know The Truth - Dom/Sub, all sex, no romance. Not to my taste but I know others will enjoy it.

Let It Be You - About a young couple getting back together after four years apart. He waited to loose his virginity with her. Super sweet second chance romance.

Like Petals for the Sun - This was an excerpt from a full length forbidden coworker romance which is releasing later this year. Lacking the sex aspect but there's some making out action and it's a great tease for the future release!

Umm…w…w…wow! Excuse me while I shake myself from this stuttering, sensually-induced stupor! 🤤 HAVE MERCY and HOT D@MN!! The QUEEN strikes again!  Kathryn Nolan is a sexy, ferocious, erotica-writing beast! Believe me when I tell you that these bursting at the “steams” stories are smokin’ HOT🔥🔥-it's merely an understatement!!
 
Holy Smokes!! Nolan snatches me by the collar and throws me directly into the deep end from the very first fantasy! Right off the bat, we’re hit with the one-two, or should I say the one-two-three punch?! The QUEEN opens her short stories with “The Restaurant,” where three couples gain inspiration (if you know what I mean😏) from each other and cause an enticing domino effect of explicit hotness! Through Nolan’s writing, temps don’t just rise, they start off at level ⬆️SCORCH🔥, and don’t let up until you’ve come to the end.  I don’t think I ever got the chance to come up for air, get a fan… a cold glass of water?! 🤷🏾‍♀️ Everything just flows effortlessly, moving fluidly, and so sensually from one sexcapade to the next.
 
And then…in the midst of all this titillating naughtiness, Nolan manages to leave no genre, no trope “stone” unturned in this collection of sexy stories. Bravo Kathryn! Bravo!

Are you the type of reader who highlights passages and bookmarks pages to go back to later? Especially the hot, steamy, sexy times for when you need…ummm…inspiration. Then this book is PERFECT for you. Kathryn Nolan writes some of the hottest and sexiest scenes I’ve ever read. With this book you get 14 of these steamy and very “inspirational” short stories. I don’t know what you’ll need more after reading them, a cigarette, a glass of wine, or a fire extinguisher. All of the shorts are very different and there’s bound to be one to strike the fancy of anyone. Not only do you get steaminess, but the characters are likeable and you get invested in the story even in a short amount of time. Kathryn Nolan is simply an amazing author with anything and everything she writes. Get this book! I give this book 5+++ fiery stars!

Trope(s): variety

This is my first read by Kathryn Nolan. I had looked up femdom and this was a recommendation. This is not a femdom book, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. This collection contains 14 short stories. Stories vary in length and filth. If you are looking for a variety of tropes and are open this is a perfect read for you. If you would like to get to know Kathryn and her writing style go ahead and go for it. If you need a palate cleanse and want to keep the reads short and sweet this would be a perfect read.

Sexy Shorts - a delicious assortment of sensuous food for the brain! Kathryn Nolan manages to find something to tickle everyone’s fancy and mine was no exception. Each short immediately grabbed my attention and left me completely sated. I found this book to be a wonderful switch up from my normal reading without having to switch genres. Nolan’s wildly sensuous imagination allows for the utmost tantalizing page turner. This book was such a welcomed change for me. Kathryn Nolan has made me an absolute lover of “sexy shorts”.

I Love Them All!

Sweet, sexy, downright dirty...this collection has something for everyone!

I love Kathryn Nolan's glorious ability to take a conversation or a moment in time and craft a sexy little fantasy around it. Even though these are snippets of life, they're richly detailed. It's easy to imagine the feel of rough fingertips, hear the rustle of clothing and breathless moans, see the flush of passion and ecstasy. Each story is unique, each encounter is....satisfying. I can see myself rereading them often. 5 stars!

Too hot!

This collection of 14 erotic novellas burned up my kindle! Ok, ok...my kindle is fine, but I had hot flashes that a woman my age can just blame on my hormones! Hey, it’s not a lie!!

This collection is HOT, but you get more than erotic stories! These stories also have emotion and a short plot! There are different genres or tropes included, so you’ll find something you like in the collection. Enjoy!

Phew that was hot

Kathryn brings all the heat with these beautiful short stories. I was a bit unsure about some of them as I had never read romance that has more than just the main couple in the heated scenes. I have read other books from Kathryn before so trusted her as her prose is a thing of beauty and she knows how to steam up a scene. Was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed reading outside of my comfort zone. Well worth a read.
