review 1: 4.5 Hearts (stars?)Short stories are tricky. They have to grab the reader's attention right away and they have a very short time to prove themselves worthy. They're short, after all. That could, however, work to their advantage, because the reader is more likely to finish a story if it's a quick read.That isn't always true for me, though. I get all kinds of picky when reading, especially since I have a very long TBR list. If the story isn't grabbing me, I'll be grabbing the next story on the TBR list. Such is life for the books on my Kindle. It's a book eat book world.When I started reading this collection of short stories - there's 23 stories! - I found that it was fun to skip around and read them out of order. If one story was kinda dragging for me, I skipped ahead and c... moreame back to it later (or not). Either way, I really liked the anthology, because if one story wasn't working, there were 22 others to choose from. Though, I will say that I enjoyed most of them, especially Coffee Break, which I will revisit in a minute.The stories were perfect masturbation length. Did I say masturbation? TMI? Well, what'd you expect? These are short sexy stories. They should come with a masturbation warning. Or, better yet, there should be a game attached to the prologue and the rules should be that you need to reach orgasm before each story ends. The more orgasms you can get out of the anthology, the more you win. It's a win win. I just don't see a losing scenario here. And if you're reading this in a public place and can't wank along with the rest of us, then you're still enjoying some hotness and that's still a win.Okay, so Coffee Break and why I loved it. Umm, coffee, duh! Okay, so that's a lie. Y'all know I don't drink coffee...except when I do...which is rare. If you read the blurb (you did, right?), then you know that all the stories in this anthology have a common theme - submission. To be more precise, the stories are about women submitting to the alpha males who know, just KNOW, how to push the right buttons to get the juices flowing. These men know their partners well, they earn their trust, and then they use their knowledge and this trust to bring their submissive partners to a new erotic high. I thought that Coffee Break totally epitomized this concept.Without giving anything away, I will just say that Coffee Break spoke to my inner exhibitionist. It also showed the enormous amount of trust Meredith has in her dominant partner, as well as his knowledge of what makes her tick and his ability to deliver the experience she would have been too scared to engineer herself.While Coffee Break was one of my favorites, the other stories were great too. I highly recommend this collection of stories to anyone who enjoys masturbating and stories of Dominance and submission.Note: review copy was provided by the editor in return for an honest review.
review 2: *Copy provided by the editor through the BDSM TPE Bar in exchange for an honest review*To be honest, I generally don't do well with short stories - to me, it is extremely difficult to get into them so quickly. Thus this collection of short stories was a huge surprise for me - I love them all, some more (e.g. Chattel and The Letter) some less, but at the end of the day I enjoyed them and didn't grow tired even when reading four or five in a row. This is an anthology of twenty-three short stories of safe, sane, consensual and sizzling submission. These couples are happy and content - they vary from BDSM novices to experienced TPE players, from age-play to traditional pain-pleasure kinks. The scenes are very different from one another but all have something exciting about them, it is really a worthy read!On a side note: I just checked the price of the anthology on Amazon and I think that this will put people off because it's (for English Kindle books) comparably high. Without meaning any offence I do think the publisher should re-consider the prizing. less
