Well, I think I found my favourite tale of erotica.

At first I was a little distracted by the feel of it because Kitten, the main character, refers to "you", her male master, but my brain kept thinking of "you" as the reader. Meaning me. I'm a girl. So that was a little... odd.

I soon got over that though once the story really gets going. Kitten's inner thoughts are extreme, depraved, detailed. Her desires and how badly she yearns to be fulfilled are descriptive, thorough and frantic. Her lust makes her crazy and shameless and it's amazing.

Five very enthusiastic stars. I can't recommend this story enough. I can't wait to read the other entries in this series.

This was very good, I really liked it. However, I adored the first book in this series and it doesn't quite meet that level of amazing hotness.

One its own, it's very good, with some creative scenes and a great moment with a cage. It's high quality smut and I recommend it.

This book was a great way to start a series!
A plot like this one could very easily veer into slut-shaming territory but The Beginning doesn't at all. It portrays the life of an escort as fun, enthusiastic and respectful.

It's a short read but in that limited time the author, Emma Jaye, crafted fully fleshed out, interesting characters that actually dealt with their own issues. An impressive amount of action and development was packed into this story, with a trio of characters that actually cared about eachother.

I liked all of the characters, and was impressed by Sasha's enthusiasm for her new career. I especially liked Max. He was a bit smarmy but fun to be around none-the-less. I'm usually picky about my heroes but Max just totally had me. Max and Sasha had amazing chemistry together which carried on through the entire story.

I have to admit I was a wee bit more interested in the character of Missy and wanted to know more about her, her life, and her relationship with her half-brother. Those two played off each other delightfully!

Why 4 stars? Well, I actually wish there was a teensy bit more smut in the scenes with Sasha and Max, some things feel slightly glossed over. And I feel maybe Sasha went a bit too far too fast. Or, it could have delved more into how she felt about being the centre of attention, how she had always had fantasies like this or something.

Also, there were weirdly sudden POV shifts. One moment Sasha would be thinking something, then Max would be thinking something. It was a little too omniscient for my preference. Maybe limit one POV to one character per scene. That probably knocked my rating down a star.

Yes, I do believe I'll revisit this series sometime in the near future. It's fun and sexy with great characters!

I'm extremely picky when it comes to Anubis Erotica.
This?
This was good. Really good.
Anubis fetishists should track this short story down and devour it right away.

I enjoyed this book. The sex scenes were really hot, and playful and respectful. There was a lot of love and understanding. It had this Hippie Free-Love vibe too it, which was fun and I hadn't encountered that before in my erotica reads. Also, a guy gives a chick oral and his tongue is pierced. That is always fun. Also, sleep-groping.

However, what initially drew me to this story was the premise. The world is a zombie infested nightmare and three survivors are trapped together. Unfortunately the story barely touches on that. The zombies could have been anything: A mudslide, a blizzard. If you're going to select an unrealistic premise, no matter what you write, erotica or not, commit to it. We're writers, we can write anything! Indulge!

For example, Isadora is married to Jacob but their best friend Samuel is also living with them because zombies. Sometimes the horde moves on and the survivors can do things like collect river water and firewood. Maybe Sam went out to hunt or something and almost gets bit, there's a scare, and it helps Issy and Sam realize how much they want each other and should take advantage of the time they have together and that sparks all the wild threesome sex.

It was good, I liked it, but I see potential for more which I hope the author will take advantage of.

It was really, really hot and very tender and gentle. It moved along quickly with beautiful imagery.
Removed a half star because there was a bit of confusion near the end, like a third party joined the scene? Other than that, brilliant and lovely.
4.5 stars.

This was a creative take on Beauty and the Beast that doesn't follow the story point by point. It was well written, with striking visuals and atmosphere. The take on the Beast was very inventive and he was made sympathetic but also a force to be careful of. The story played with consent in interesting ways too.

I look forward to seeing where this goes.

The story sucked me in from word one. It was intriguing and I was interested to find out why Marie was being followed by this man. I liked Marie, how she wasn't weak, was quick on the uptake and brave. The interplay between the characters was well done and no one was arrogant or haughty just because. No one was defined by their snark, trauma or attitude. Everyone was level and, well, human.

Things are slowly revealed about characters and that was nice. It left me wanting to learn more.

The POV shifts were good, lending insight to the characters. The sex scene was brief but hot and I look forward to what's in store for Kane and Marie.

It could have been longer, especially the final scene.
