This wasn’t bad as far as short story erotica goes, but maybe the author could have left out one sex scene and develop the characters just a little bit more. It opens with the main characters being all hot for each other and spends too much time thinking (and later doing) the horizontal hustle and not enough time telling us about who they are.

There was some character development, don’t get me wrong and I think the back story could have been fleshed out. Maybe drop the whole robot thing. Okay, maybe that changes the whole book, I dunno, but this could have been a great story (yes, it’s been done before, I know, thus the robot thing).

The writing isn’t horrible either, it felt a little stilted at times, but for erotica, it didn’t suck – and at the time I “purchased” it, it was free, so hey…

** Warning: This is erotica, skip it if you are offended **

(Kindle Freebie)

I had to double check that I read the same book as some of the other reviews I’ve seen. There wasn’t really much violence in this book, at least nothing graphic or scary. There were a couple of light erotica scenes and a weird story.

I think this probably falls more under a short story – the second of three it appears (I missed that somehow when I got this book). And you kind of have to read them in order. I spent the first third of this story completely lost. There’s nothing to start out to keep you up, it just dumps you in the middle.

Perhaps all 3 (if it’s complete) should be re-bundled as a novella or something? Either way, if you are interested in reading this book, read them in order (appears to be Monster, then this one, then Minder – I think!).

I don’t know that I enjoyed this story enough to go back, pay for, and read the first short story.

WARNING: This book is erotica – skip this review and description if you are squeamish or wear your underwear too tight.

This wasn’t too bad. I liked the fact that there was a story, it wasn’t just “he touched her breast, her heaving bosom responded to his breath” or whatever. That gets old.

It was predictable, but not horrible if you like erotica. The “backdoor” stuff isn’t too bad either, if you are squeamish about that (raises hand) so don’t let that scare you too far off.
