Wildrose by Max Ellendale

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I’ve started this review something like twelve times now.

Eve Grant works as a homicide detective in Seattle. There are investigations she is shown investigating, but the main point of the book is not to follow and/or unravel mysteries, but to watch Eve’s love life. She’s both not the kind to have relationships (more of a one-night stand type of person), and hasn’t been on a one night stand type event in months (six?). So, naturally, there’d be some changes in store for Eve in this book.

Her first potential love interest is the somewhat vaguely ice queen like Ainsley Monson, the medical examiner. I’m not actually sure if she has that reputation so much as she kind of acts that way in the book.

I’d like to say ‘various other people weave in and out as potentials’, but that’s hard to have happen, what with Eve mostly just hanging out with straight people, and in straight bars. Another potential love interest does pop up, though, through the means of visiting that gay friendly bar that shares the same name as this book
(Ciara is meet there, and a tiny bit of time is spent here otherwise, but . . . I’m not sure why this specific book is named after that bar).

An interesting dynamic breaks out that I rarely see in books like this one, though it might be obvious from what I’ve written up to this point – Eve starts dating two people at the same time (one knows the name of the other; the other knows that Eve is dating someone else, but not her name). The three woman love triangle actually, and somewhat unexpectedly, seems to flow naturally for the people involved, and the situation(s) encountered. Or, in other word, there are reasons for why things developed the way they developed, for how Eve ended up dating two people at the same time, who are aware of the situation and vaguely accepting of it.

Fire and ice. I’ve mentioned Ainsley, she’d fall on the ice side of things. On the fire side is Ciara. Using the ‘fire and ice’ as opposite extremes is a nice motif for me to use, eh? But doesn’t really apply, and was never used in the book. Ainsley has elements of being closed off emotionally, being something of an ice queen; while Ciara, with her flaming red hair, and ability to openly express her wants and desires would fall inside . . . whatever category that would imply. Fire seems to imply someone who becomes enraged easily or something like that, which is not Ciara. Or someone controlled by their emotions, again not her. I need a new motif.

You know, writing a review for this book should probably be easy. I’m not sure why it took me twelve times to get to this point, or why I’m ham-fistedly going about things as I am.

I probably should have just gone with the thought I’d had while reading the book, and seen if there was something I could have built off of it, review-wise. That thought being: ice-queens are popular in lesbian fiction, off the top of my head I can think of three fanfiction universes that use that dynamic and in turn get used for inspiration for fanfiction, and published work (Cat Grant from Supergirl; whoever the ice queen is from: Devil Wears Prada, and, in addition, the one from Once Upon a Time (that’s the one that’s called Swanqueen, right?); a fourth could be Janeway from Star Trek Voyager, though I rarely see fanfictions from that universe, and when I do, they tend to attempt to show what would have happened if Janeway hadn’t made the decision to not pursue romantic interests while in the Delta quadrant – she has more of the ‘stand-offishness’ vibe more from circumstances than actual traits (at least there were hints she wasn’t that way when she wasn’t cut off from the Alpha Quadrant)).

Melting the ice queen’s heart, especially since she tends to be shown as much older than the other individual involved in the romance, has never really been my thing to enjoy. I prefer the more nurturing, emotionally stable . . etc. etc. There’s probably a term for that type of character, eludes me (not 'mothering' type, that's going too far in a different direction, I'm not looking 'mother and little girl' stories either, more equal partners type stories). I’m referring here to what I like to read, not real life situations (*shrugs*, I can't really say I'm not into that in real life since my longest term relationship, roughly 7 to 8 years, was with someone with a vaguely ice queen vibe, though I only really noticed after the fact when watching her interact with others who were not me).

Nope, that thought experiment to create a review didn’t work. Ah well.

I liked what I saw unfold in this book. For the most part I liked the sole point of view character, Eve, and her best friend Ang. I liked the personality shown with Ciara, though we, the reader, didn’t really get to dig deep into her character. We learn a little bit more about Ainsley, but, due to her character, there are walls around her that weren’t breached.

Hmm. I now fall into an odd problem. Since I wrote, then discarded a dozen reviews, I’m not sure what all I actually have and haven’t written. Since I feel like I’ve written everything now, but probably have discarded most. Pfft, having to reread my own review… mmphs.

Right. There are two things left I wanted to mention. Or, at least, two things I thought of mentioning.

Nah, I just deleted the paragraph(s) I wrote that rambled about this being the sixth book I’ve read by one of the two authors listed on this book’s cover, and I’ll just move to the next topic.

There’s graphic sex in this book. I, somewhat unexpectedly, liked it more than I figured I would.

Some quotes:

"Nice sunglasses," . . .
"Shut up."
"I thought you weren't drunk."
"Wasn't drunk. Totally no drunkness occurred."
"Uh huh. So you normally wear sunglasses in the rain?"
"I do. Don't judge me."
"Idiot."

"Hey, don't discount the awesomeness that is my firearm. It's saved your life a time or two."
"Yeah, but what happens when you're disarmed? You scream 'I beat terrorists!' while waving your arms in the air?" I laughed at him. "That'll work."

"Prude." Now I laughed at her. "I was kidding. I'm thirty-six years old. I have no gaydar. I'm broken."

If I was any less of a person, I'd deny the deflated feeling inside when I heard the dreaded heterosexuality pour from her lips. My inclinations were, no doubt, wrong.

"Thanks for the drink."
"Anytime." I smiled, half-heartedly at the sexy woman who I would now only get to ogle at until I shriveled up and died.

"Worst lesbian ever. Most U-Haul. You Fed Ex."
I laughed hard at the unusual statement. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"U-Haul, love 'em and married by the third date. Fed Ex, love 'em and ship 'em out next day air."

"Are you aware that we're both in our mid-thirties and behaving like bi-curious teenagers?"

"I've also never kissed two women at the same time." I looked at her. "Wait, that sounded odd."

"I don't care if we eat in the middle of the road, as long as we get to spend time together," I told her because that's how I felt.

I lost my fingers in her hair but she pulled back suddenly.
"Did I give you a boner?" She grined down at me, biting her bottom lip in the way that made me want to bit it for her.
"I think you might've." I reached under my shirt and tugged my sidearm free, shoving it into my purse a few inches away.

"Dating," I said. "We're dating. Poorly, at the moment."
She laughed, genuinely. So much so that her eyes lit up with it. "Very."
"Just relax a little, okay?"
"You too then. Sometimes you look about ready to regurgitate a meal."
"Ainsley!" I laughed, swatting her arm without thinking. "That's gross. You say weird shit."

Nothing brought me more joy than spending this time with Angelina. She was my best friend, my sister, my person, and no matter what, that wouldn't ever change. I was lucky to have her, to call her my family.

ETA: by the way - if the relationship had ended up the way I thought it might, I'd probably have rated this book way differently. Like, a lot.

Return to Me: A Remi/Claudia Story by Fiona Zedde

Return to Me: A Remi/Claudia Story by Fiona Zedde

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is a quick short story about a relationship between a young woman of 29, Remi, and an older woman of 50-something (I've the idea the number 53 might have been used), Claudia. They've been in this relationship for the past two years, and even though both seem quite into each other, quite loving of each other, and even though neither is showing signs of straying - the younger woman is suffering greatly by certain fears. Not that the older woman would leave her. But that Remi would be the one to stray - because everything about this relationship is somewhat out of character for Remi.

Sure, Remi has/had lusted after her friend's mother for a longish while, and didn't act on it until she was an adult. And sure she loves being with her, loves her not just the situation, but . . . she fears being fully herself with Claudia and therefore fears her needs will force her to stray. So she's hiding a part of herself from her lover, and possibly leading down the path to relationship ruin.

Claudia, being smart and stuff, takes things into her own hands and 'fixes' stuff.

This is listed as being 2.5 in a 4 book series. Since this is the first work I've read by this author, it is easy to see that I've not read anything else in this specific series. I do not know what I may or may not have missed in the prior works, but this short sexually explicit story seems fully formed and readable without a lot of previously acquired knowledge. Granted the story begins with the couple already being a couple and if readers need to know how everything came together before reading this story, then don't read this story first. I prefer couples stories, rare as they are (possible I might not prefer them if they weren't so rare).

Elfin Magic by R.G. Emanuelle

After reading one of the free short stories by this author released by Dirt Road Books, I promptly read another.  By the same author I mean.  Even though I was somewhat disappointed in the first I’d read.

It’s March and I’m reading a Christmas story. Heh.

Right, so, another solo point of view story – from the point of view of an elf – or, at least, a woman who wears an elf costume at a department story during the holidays to work the register in the little hut that processes photos taken with Satan.  Yes, bring your kids to see Satan. Bah. I mean Santa, of course. Stupid fingers not type what I want (and yes, I’ve fought them to actually write all rest, they wanted to type ‘time’ instead of ‘type’ earlier, among other things . . . dangnabbit, stop removing my spaces, fingers!)

While her stomach rumbles (a reoccurring theme for this author? Hehe, I joke with myself, just noticing a reoccurring plot point in two stories read on same day), the woman plans to go on break. But wait! There’s a gorgeous woman who is next!  POV woman (and here remember people’s names would be nice, I think her ‘elf’ name was something like Jangles, and her human name was something like Maddy, but I might be wrong about both) and gorgeous woman (whose name escapes me completely) flirt.

Then, I think it’s the next day, that same woman returns.  Sans kid.  Asks if POV woman is about to have a break.

The two sneak into an out of the way area that consists of a den of bears.  Stuffed bears. Graphic depiction of sex may or may not occur, with some odd bell ringing, and almost constant mental reminders that they have a thin layer of bears (and. . . other stuff) between them and the public).

Despite not much happening in this story, it seemed a lot more complete than the other story I read by this author today. Much more satisfying; much less of a teaser.

001. bodies and body parts by spiralstreet (bertee)

001. bodies and body parts by spiralstreet (bertee)

My rating: 4.63 of 5 stars


Second story I'd read by this author - and first time I realized the numbers actually meant something (based on the other words in the title, I assumed that the number corresponded to some prompt somewhere, not to series story order).

Right, so, liked the first story I'd read by this author, so tried another - starting from 1. And by 'tried another', I mean that I had intended to create a bookmark and read it later. But got sucked into the story.

It's another straight forward story of bondage play. Again involving three women, same three as in the other story I'd read by this author. This time only one of the three is in bondage. Bound tightly in work clothing, gagged, and blindfolded. On a sofa or the like (at least at first), while her two girlfriends eat popcorn and watch a movie. And played with their 'captive' during the viewing of film.

Another fun diverting piece of erotica. Interesting at how well characterized the three women are from the little that is seen of them in this short snippet of a scene.

015. humiliation by spiralstreet (bertee)

015. humiliation by spiralstreet (bertee)

My rating: 4,61 of 5 stars


Fanfiction: Supernatural

I'd watched a couple episodes (or more) of Supernatural's first season. Nowhere enough to have a clue who any of the people are in this short story. If they are actually a part of the show or not. I didn't even know there were enough women to have a story like this one here.

Three women play an erotic BDSM game together. One takes the dominant role, while the other two take the submissive roles. It's a straight forward well written scene that involves bondage, spanking, flogging, electric shocks, crawling, etc.

Story is titled 'verbal humiliation', and was apparently written based on a prompt for that, but I did not specifically see anything in the story that I'd label that particular kink. The 'verbal humiliation' appeared to consist of the domme having the other two ask to have the things done to them that are done to them. And . . . hmm, that's basically it (in terms of what might have been verbal humiliation, I mean). *shrugs*

So, the three woman are: Genevieve Cortese (Ruby), Danneel Harris (not actually on show), Adrianne Palicki (Jessica Moore)
I've been including pics in the fanfiction I read as identifiable characters are being written about and so what they look like is known and stuff - and so -


Rating: .... how do I rate something that's a short erotic piece that I can't tell how it actually relates to a show I've only seen a few episodes of? mmphs. um, 4.61

Fire and Flame by D. Night

Fire and Flame by D. Night

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


To a certain extent I rated this as highly as I did for two simple reasons - vague fondness for some stories I read by the author and the part where there really aren't that many female dominants and submissive stories around. On the other hand . . . the mistress continued to talk like a robot (if this is the same two from prior stories, which I kind of assume) and the theme of the story, pleasure from giving and/or receiving pain, really isn't my thing.

On the positive side: 'mistress' isn't shown as a complete and utter dick (like so many 'alpha males' seem to be shown. Though, I'm sure, that's subjective.

Right so, story - 'mistress' ties 'submissive' pet to a bed. Alternates teasing and beating with flogger/whip. Submissive orgasms loudly. Mistress praises and cuddles with submissive. The end. (from the point of view of the submissive).

Butch Fatale, Dyke Dick - Double D Double Cross by Christa Faust

Butch Fatale, Dyke Dick - Double D Double Cross by Christa Faust

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is one of those 'let's switch things up and put a woman in as the private dick/investigator role in a noir like setting' type books (see: Micky Knight).

Roberta 'Butch' Fatale is the 'Dyke Dick' and also the one with the double D breasts (what, is important to the story. *nods*). Throughout the book she investigates 1) a missing woman; 2) death of a missing woman; and encounters 1) mafia (the 'good' and the 'bad' kind in the form of - if they like Butch or not)); 2) escorts; 3) police, and others. And, other than the mafia part, Butch fucks them all. Throughout the book, constantly, while shadowing people, investigating people, and doing private eye stuff. ETA: Wait, crap, no, she doesn't fuck the missing girl, nor does she fuck a dead body. Sorry about that. mmphs.

The closest this book comes to romance is the times when Butch gazes upon certain people and for a split second the reader wonders if Butch and the other woman might actually start to have a relationship - but instead they fuck, and Butch leaves to do something else; unless it's Penny (and one other but would be spoilery so won't mention). Penny being Butch's secretary (every private dick needs one - the kind who keeps things working, organized, etc.). Penny keeps basically throwing herself at Butch (ala Miss Moneypenny in the Bond films), while Butch flirts with her but doesn't kiss her or do other stuff. Wait, maybe they did fuck once. I've a vague recollection of Butch getting Penny to slip out of her clothing so they could 'do it' on Butch's desk. Well, if so, she'd be one of hundreds (or, maybe, 3 or 4) women Butch fucked in the book - and also one of the few she did in fact turn away from a few times Penny offered.

This is one of those over the top kind of books, yet the mystery was good enough, and the sex was both graphic and quite interesting - most of the time. Oh, and unlike the other Faust books I've read, everyone here is a lesbian (even the conservative anti-gay female senator) - while in a prior book, the prior prose book (as in text filled, no pictures), everyone was heterosexual, and the people in the graphic novel were mixed - with background lesbians and the main character either being a heterosexual who occasionally strays, or is a bisexual.

Was fun book. Enjoyable.

Fine or Punishment by Mira Margrave

Fine or Punishment by Mira Margrave

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The book (or potentially just the sample) has two major flaws that might, unfortunately, keep people from trying the book. What with a billion and one options out there that are either free or on Kindle Unlimited, and what with this being a new author. I can easily see someone seeing those flaws and skipping this book. I know, I did. I mocked it, put it out of my thoughts for hours, but it kept popping back in there and I eventually got the book and read it. That’s where the ‘unfortunately’ comes in, as the writing is quite compelling otherwise.

The flaws?

1) It may or may not be considered a minor thing, but when, as noted, there are a ton of options out there, and nothing to keep people interested otherwise (already established author; a ‘name’ dipping their toes into writing, etc), then even minor flaws in samples can push people away. Right, I should have just mentioned without this big lead-in. Now I feel stupid. Heh. The flaw? Heck, it might not even be a flaw ‘somewhere’ (wherever it is that has ass spelled like arse 90% of the time), if that somewhere also interchanges the words ‘library’ and ‘bookstore’ for each other. Since that’s the flaw. One of the main characters, Violet Weston, is a librarian. Who either works at a library or a bookstore. Considering that bookstore only actually came up once (and, again unfortunately, blaringly in the sample section), and considering other aspects, yes she’s actually a librarian who works in a library not a bookstore. As noted, potentially a minor flaw. But one that could be spotted and expected to reveal that there will be many more flaws throughout.

2) The situation/set-up is absurd. Librarian Violet Weston is in some way repressed, shy, and deeply desirous of keeping herself out of the spotlight of her small town. Naturally, then, if she has certain itches she wished to scratch, she’d have to break out of herself a little to do so. So she hired a ‘prostitute’. Meh, fine. But . . . she has the prostitute turn up at her work? Seriously? She’s the head librarian in a small town. A town filled with gossips. And the sacred cat librarian had a prostitute turn up at her front door of her work? And then use code words so . . . common the situation that actually unfolded was almost guaranteed to happen? (‘I have some overdue library books’ – not exact phrase used, and yes she was listening for a phrase but it was a common variation on that. Of course no ‘real’ library patron would turn up just as the library was closing and say something to the librarian like ‘I’m sorry, but my books might be a little bit overdue’). Mmphs.

Right, so. Reasons why I initially turned away from the book. For a really short time. Looking at my comments and updates, I made a ‘mocking’ comment about an hour before I made a ‘read 37% of this story’ comment. So probably an hour between tossing the book and getting and reading 37%.

Because it was, in its way, an intriguing set-up. And, actually, both main characters seemed interesting enough to overcome any and all flaws (and, oddly, most of the flaws of the book are contained within the sample (there’s the part wherein she didn’t lock the library door after closing hours, but that might be in the sample, and like all the other not-mentioned flaws, are ‘reasonable’ in isolation, though build up, all together with each other, to a certain level of incompetence – unexpected)).

A librarian sets up a ‘date’ at her work. Her ‘phrase to make sure is ‘her date’’ is used by the attractive woman who turned up (that’s another of those odd little bits of flaw – why would the librarian just assume that the ‘not dressed like an escort’ who happened to turn up roughly at the same time the prostitute was supposed to turn up, was the prostitute, because it’s a small town and she didn’t recognize her? But then this leads back to ‘why turn up at the library’ instead of setting up the event somewhere outside of town – as should be expected one of biggest town gossips was right there when the other woman turned up. Sooo. Right, got confused and incoherent there.

Librarian sets up date at library. An not especially young woman turns up and uses a few words here or there that leads the librarian to suspect they are the prostitute (though mostly the fact that she did turn up, and isn’t someone she knows is the real ‘triggering’ event to lead to ‘must be prostitute’). The young woman mentions that she might have failed to turn in her books before they became overdue. By this point, by the way, the ‘old gossip woman’ had been forced out the door. So the librarian is then able to start making some vaguely odd comments, flirty comments. About taking punishment seriously, and there will be more than just monetary penalties.

Librarian then leads the woman back to her office. Whereupon the book turns to a new chapter and we are now in the library patron’s point of view. And we learn why this non-prostitute is going along with this odd situation. Namely – the librarian is super-hot, and she hasn’t exactly been hit on in a longish while. That and she really just expects, if the librarian isn’t really flirting with her, a stern lecture.

Not really sure how much further the sample reveals as by this point I’d switched over to the full book (which, for all I know, removed the bookstore flaw, but I didn’t reread to see).

This is one of those books that I occasionally stumble across and if but for a bit of luck here or there, probably would never read. I mean, one of the main themes is ‘spanking’. I do not normally go out of my way to find and read spanking stories. And, to be fair to the story itself, this is a lot more than a spanking story (and a lot less than a full book, since this is just a little over a 100 pages in length).

I oddly rather liked the story. And while it did end ‘mid-scene’, by that point I was happy with what I had read. Or, more accurately, I was on the train and there’s only so many mentions of orgasmic sexual activities before I get uncomfortable reading such on the train (it’s actually something of a statement of how compelling the story was to me that I actually started to continue to read it on the train, and then read the sex stuff; something I’d normally not do, at least on the train).

Right, never did mention: there are other characters, the side ones have a little more ‘meat on their bones’ than might be expected, though still being somewhat bone-thin characterizations (Shelia the other librarian, Mrs. Burke the noisy old woman, Jade the best friend from high school, etc.). And both of the mains seemed, while not fleshed out, full of interesting tid-bits. That other main character, by the way, is one Candace Kane, freelance computer . . . person (programmer? Maybe programmer). Both of the women, though I might be wrong about this, are in their 30s. I think. And yes, Candace . . . Candy . . . ‘Candy Kane’ was one of the reasons the librarian thought she was dealing with an obvious prostitute (she’d already determined that the woman was her prostitute, though, before she asked the patrons name and got ‘Candace Kane’; to be fair to Candace, it is her name).

The Night Off by Meghan O'Brien

The Night Off
by Meghan O'Brien
Pages: 264
Date: July 1 2012
Publisher: Bold Strokes Books
Series: None

Review
Rating: 5.5
Read: September 15 to 21 2016

This is the fourth book that I’ve completed written by Meghan O’Brien. Only took me roughly 3 years to read those four books (December 2013 to September 2016). And this is the first I’ve read in nearly 2 years. Must hate or only mildly like these books, eh? Or, possibly, these are the only 4 books by O’Brien?

Well no. There are apparently ’17 distinct works’ by this author. And I’ve given all 4 books I’ve read by O’Brien 5 stars (including this one here). Actually I gave this one a rating of 5.5; not sure it is actually worth the extra .5, but I do know I enjoyed it more than a similar book I’d read, (similar in terms of dommes and submissives – though . . hmm, I think I need to use a different word for Emily), and I do think Girl Trouble is worth 5.25 stars, so this book here, by default, lands at 5.5.

This book is both abnormal and normal. Abnormal in that it is about 264 pages (okay, maybe 259?) of erotic play (which includes more than just sex). Normal in that there are certain lesbian fiction pet topics that pop up in this book.

Emily Parker has, more or less since the birth of her sister, though officially only since she was 18 and her sister was 11, has raised her sister as a ‘sister-mother’ (that’s one of those pet topics that pop up; almost always a sister instead of a brother (not sure I’ve actually ever seen a ‘sister-brother’ except in one vague recollection of that occurring in a book when the siblings were all adults so the brother wasn’t around; and for every main character with a daughter (and/or son) I see, I see about 5 times more single parents who are acting in the capacity of a parent, while raising a sibling – a lot of death in lesbian fiction; heck, the last book I read had someone casually toss out that their entire family burned to death when she was 10, and she was kind of confused for a moment when the other person acted surprised/startled by this information – lots of death).

Distracted myself.

Okay then. Emily Parker has raised her sister, since her parents died on them, for roughly 7 years (officially). She’s ‘sacrificed’ herself for her sister’s well-being. Everything is for her sister. Which includes sacrificing college (well going away to college, she did get a night-school degree) and the partying/fun inherent in her fantasies of such a thing. And relationships, friends and lovers.

None of this is exactly known, for the most part, until deepish into the book. For the simple reason that Emily has decided to take a smallish break from ‘all that’ and give herself a bit of fun for the first time in her life.

The book opens with Emily being abducted by an attractive butch type character with either a shaved head or very short crew-cut length hair (vaguely confused which it was). That would be Nat Swayne. And no, this isn’t some kind of Dark Erotica type situation – the abduction was planned for by Emily herself after she went to an escort service. And asked for something like this.

Let me see, looking at my status updates. The ‘abduction sex scene’ plus ‘extended fun’ lasted for something like half the book (I have down at 43% ‘the long scene continues’ and at 56% ‘well, we finally moved past the really long extended several day sex scene. Course now I’m in the middle of another one that is occurring three days later.’) I was serious when I mentioned that there’s something like 259 pages of erotica in this 264 page book.

Right, so. I rather liked both of the main characters, and the few secondary characters were interesting as well. I enjoyed the sexual dynamic on display here – both how important and stressed that ‘unicorn’ was (safeword; oh and that it was both used and its use was respected), and into it everyone seemed to be.

There were certain ‘traps’ laid out, but only one sprung (Emily and Nat ‘have fun’; loud BDSM fun, in Emily’s bedroom. With the door open (or unlocked, unsure if open or not). While sister is ‘away’. The obvious thing occurred. The thing that was kind of blinking loudly at me while the events unfolded; and only one occasion when I skimmed more than read (Nat is a high priced escort. Emily actually kind of gets off on the idea that Nat is off ‘on appointments’. And lets Nat know this. So there’s one graphic scene involving Nat and another woman that I kind of skimmed. Because I didn’t really want to read Nat with someone else. Course, I learned, Nat didn’t really want to be with that other woman either. And the scene was actually important to the progression of the story, since it laid the foundation for career expansion (well, career change). ).

Right, so I guess I’m ready to close off. Enjoyed the story. It was filled with erotic moments. Involving a bit of BDSM like activity (spanking, power exchange, orgasm control, public bits of eroticism) between two consenting adults in their twenties.

.

Tags/shelves: ‘financial services’ – Emily is an accountant, technically that doesn’t really work, but I didn’t want to create a new shelf; ‘there is a kid’, kid, though, is 18.

Reading – those who’ve seen my reading in the past, the speed of my reading, might be confused by that ‘September 15-21’ read dates. Is full length erotica book. Takes longer to read.

September 21 2016
