Review: Meeting Jenna-A Transsexual Erotic Romance

Meeting Jenna

by Alex Lockhead

reviewed by Reed James

 

jennamedium2James is at a World Cup party when he meets Jenna. She’s eighteen, hot, and playful. Chemistry sparks between them. As the party goes on, James finds himself drawn to her. He makes his move, kissing her in an out of the way area.

But Jenna has a secret. She’s transgendered. She was born a guy and still has something extra packed beneath her skirt. She’s ready for James to freak out, but he shocks her with their acceptances.

But will James feel the same after they make love? Will he reject her for being a freak? Or will he love her for who she is and not who she was?

Meeting Jenna is a sweet romance. Jenna and James are a fun couple. They have a great chemistry together before they even get to the sex. Guy on transgendered is not a kink I particularly like, but if that’s your thing, then you’ll find the sex to be hot and satisfying.

I think the strengths are the conversations. It’s fun to read the flirty, playful banter between James and Jenna, and Verity, James’s matchmaker friends, adds her own charm.

I give it 4.5 out 5 humming. For $2.99, Meeting Jenna: A Transsexual Erotic Romance will teach your eReader to appreciate a person’s true self.

Review of ‘Ruse’

Review of ‘Ruse’?

by Kaley Copely

reviewed by Reed JamesRuse Cover3

Asta is a rich, snobby, sorority bitch.

She is hot and uses her body to get what she wants. She’s selfish and vindictive. When someone calls her a whore in public, her embarrassment demands redress. She has no idea who called her whore, so she decides to take down the most goody-two shoe woman in her sorority. Shae is a virgin, so she decides to get Bryson to seduce her, pop her cherry, and dump her.

Bryson wants Asta. When she promises herself to him if he sleeps with Shae, whom Asta claims has a massive crush on him and wants so badly to lose her virginity to the handsome man, he agrees. Bryson has long wanted Asta, pining after her in secret. As he begins his seduction, new feelings stir in Asta.

Jealousy of Shae. Sometimes ruses can backfire.

Kaley Copely writes an interesting romance. Asta is very unlikable, superficial and catty, but at the end, whens he realizes something about Bryson, she changes. Kaley has a great writing style, getting into both of Asta and Bryson’s head. The sex is steamy and passionate and the ending will be enjoyable for fans of romance.

I give it 4 out 5 charity auctions. You can by Ruse for $0.99 from Amazon. If you’re looking for some nice writing, great characterization, and an interesting romance, than you’ll enjoy Ruse!

Review ‘Devil’s Dyke’

Devil’s Dyke

by Andrew Harding

reviewed by Reed James

 

Devil's Dyke high res.jpgAlli and Harvey are back for more crime fighting action with their hybrid powers. Both were attacked by vampires while children and now are half-human, with many abilities granted from them. The pair have a new, gruesome series of crimes to investigate with their ever growing team of hybrids while they still have to clean up the mess from the last book.

When the bodies of women turn up in dumpsters, all sodomized, the hybrids quickly learn that all the women are lesbians. And that’s not even the most disturbing part of the crime. The man who raped and murdered these women has violated more than just the living—he’s violated the dead.

The team is on the hunt for the necrophiliac and time is growing short. Every moment he’s out there, his victims grow. But the hybrids are joined by two new members: Jack and Bren. One team member will have to go undercover to lure the killer out, putting his life at risk.

The deviant, BDSM sex between the hybrid couples continue. Andrew Harding keeps discovering new and kinky ways for them to have fun. I wonder if some of these devices actually exist. And if they do, who is using it on themselves. The hybrids are all superhumans. There were also some comedic moments as the hybrids play off each other, particularly Olie and his disguise.

If your looking for disturbing crimes investigated by a team of superhuman hybrids that enjoy kinky, BDSM sex, than you’ll love Devil’s Dyke. I give it 4.5 of 5 stars! At $3.99 it will transform your eReader into a bondage-loving hybrid!

Review: Grace and Blood

Grace and Blood

by Eric Keys

reviewed by Reed James

 

B(B)_creekred_pop“I have always love singing about The Blood. Even as a little girl I always took comfort in the image of being covered by a flowing fountain of blood.”

Gracie is young woman, newly turned eighteen, and working as a babysitter for her handsome neighbor Kevin and his wife. On the surface she’s a normal, young woman, but beneath it she’s sociopath, only wanting to satisfy her own lusts. She has the hots for Kevin, but he’s married and having an affair with Gracie’s own mother. When Gracie encounters a spirit swimming in a dark, forest pool, she sets out to claim all her desires.

Sex and violence are intrinsically linked in Grace and Blood. This young temptress has no qualms killing anyone in her way to get what she desires. Fluids mix and Gracie revels in both blood and semen, often together, as she enjoys her murderous passions.

Grace and Blood has vivid, disturbing imagery that any fan of slasher horror will enjoy this story. Death and eroticism mix from Gracie’s voyeurism to her self-pleasure over her victims to deviant sex with her partner-in-crime. If you like your eroticism to be more visceral, than this is the story for you.

I give it 4 out 5 stars. I felt the supernatural aspects detracted from the story and transformed Gracie into a passive protagonist. For $0.99, Grace and Blood will disturb your eReader with sensual murder.

You can buy Grace and Blood at Amazon. Check out Eric Key’s Amazon Author Page and follow him on twitter at @HorrorEric.

Review: Good Pussy, Bad Pussy

Good Pussy, Bad Pussy

by Amy Aimee

reviewed by Reed James

 

High resolution coverThis was a hard review to right. Rachel is a complicated character. At the beginning, I hated her. She’s in Nice after running out on her husband and child, having a fling with a man she thought she was in love with. I’m not a real fan of infidelity, despite writing erotica toying with those themes. Marriage, in my opinion, shouldn’t be abandoned with such in-deference and your children never should. I can understand if you tried and couldn’t resolve your differences or if the spouse was abusive, but to just up and leave to run off with a guy you barely now, well, it’s hard for me to cheer that character on.

So Rachel’s in Nice, but the thrill is wearing off and she’s having second thoughts, realizing just how important her child is to her. While Stefan is everything she wants in a man, handsome, charming, and a great lover, the novelty is beginning to wear off. And then she meets his boss, Albert, and is stunned when Stefan lets his boss seduce her, and even more stunned that she lets him, giving into her bad pussy. Albert possesses her and she can’t stop thinking about him. Everything changes when she finds out she’s pregnant and she doesn’t know who the father is. Her husband or Stefan?

Rachel’s tale is all about how our bodies react physically to sex and delves into serious themes of consent as Rachel wonders why she enjoys some of her sexual encounters even though she didn’t desire them. Is she free because she gives into her lusts? And if she is free, why does she feel so dirty? She struggles with good pussy, bad pussy, with being faithful and wanting to give into her desires. Sex drives us all, and as she searches for happiness and a life, she realizes she can’t do that and not fall her desires.

Amy Aimee rights hot sex, from romantic to dubious consent BDSM. Rachel’s mercurial passions are conveyed with skill, and romance fans will find a lot to sink their teeth in as they journey with Rachel to find what she’s searching for.

I give it 4 out 5 stars. It’s very well written romance and if you’re a fan of the genre, I’m sure you’ll love it more than me (I do confess to being male). But the themes in this novel are well worth reading and reflecting on. I doubt there’s a lot of romance out there that can make you reflect on the hold your desires have over you and the choices, often hasty and regrettable, you make while gripped by them. So check out Good Pussy, Bad Pussy!

Review: Critical Moments

Critical Moments

by Andrew Harding

reviewed by Reed James

 

critical moments book 2Alli and Harvey are back for my crime fighting action with their hybrid powers. Both were attacked by vampires while children and now are half-human, with many abilities granted from them. Now married, the pair have to investigate a large group of bodies found in a building being torn down. All are men that have had their genitals surgically removed and then embalmed while alive. The bodies date back twenty-five years. A sick serial killer is on the hunt.

The hunt is on and newer bodies are found. A lot more. Whomever the serial killer is, he seems to have accelerated this killings in the last few months, out of control with his need to give men gender reassignments, and Harvey and Alli suspect at least one hybrid, and possibly more, are responsible for the number of victims that are piling up.

Luckily for Alli and Harvey they meet a new pair of hybrids—Gina and Ollie. Gina is a young woman with a mysterious past she cannot remember, and her boyfriend Ollie has been recently turned into hybrid, possibly by the very killers Alli and Harvey are looking for. The Hybrid family grows as they hunt the serial killer. But dark secrets are learned and it seems the government may have been doing more than just keeping track of hybrids.

They may be creating them.

Now for the sex. It’s hot, graphic, S&M sex like last time. Alli and Harvey aren’t fully human, and they make full use of that. The sex is kinky, and there are new Hybrids tasting out what fun they can have with their lovers. Andrew Harding managed to find more, bizarre S&M acts for the loving Alli and Harvey to inflict on each other.

Andrew opened up the world with this one, introducing shady government agendas that may come in conflict with the Hybrid family in the upcoming volumes, ratcheting up the tension as the book progresses. I give ‘Critical Moments’ 4.5 of 5 stars! At $3.99 it will transform your eReader into a bondage-loving hybrid!

Review of ‘Illicit Lover’

‘Illicit Love’

by Hēdonē

reviewed by Reed James

 

ilicitaffaircover“Even husband and wives are strangers.” This quote from the book sums up Illicit Lover perfectly.

With modern technology, having an affair has never been easier. Pull out your laptop, whip out your phone, do a few taps on your tablet, and your sexting, browsing cheating websites, sending emails, planing your hook-ups, all while sitting next to your significant other. Illicit Affair is a brutally honest story, painting a sad look at infidelity in modern society.

Told primarily through chat logs and emails of two married people’s illicit affair. OscarW, the screen name of our protagonist, is married to Tara and while he claims to love her, he is no longer attracted to her and constantly belittles her in his thoughts. He is so wrapped up in his online affair with Venus, a married woman who loves her husband and family but is looking for some fun, that he misses what’s going on in his own life.

Their email and chat exchanges are both erotic and real. Illicit Affair isn’t erotica, but erotic literature. It’s intelligent with complex characters that feel so true. Between their chat logs, you get insight into our protagonist thoughts as he becomes more and more wrapped up in their affair. This story is not a fantasy, but reality, and while it was one of the best pieces of literature I’ve read in the last few months, I didn’t like it.

It was too real for me.

Hēdonē has written an amazing book and I do recommend you read it if your looking for a serious, and tragic, look at modern infidelity. Hēdonē draws you into his characters head, pulling you along through their affair. I couldn’t put it down, almost compelled to make it to the end and find out how OscarW and Venus’s affair would affect their marriages.

Despite not liking the story, it’s just not my taste, this is an extremely well crafted novella and I can’t recommended enough if you want to read a true, erotic literature. I give it 5 star for skill, style, and believability that the took in creating this book! At $4.99, ‘Illicit Lover’ is worth the price.

Available from Amazon and Amazon UK.

Review of ‘Fingered Next to My Husband’ by Brooks E. Hanson

Fingered Next to My Husband

by Reed James

reviewed by Brooks E. Hanson

 

Note from Reed James: Brooks sent me this review of my erotica ‘Fingered Next to My Husband’ to be posted on my blog. She’s a great author of ‘Men, Affairs; Why?’. You can read my review of her book here. You can follow her on twitter @BrooksEHanson and pick up her wonderful book on Amazon for $2.99.

Disclaimer: This review was unsolicited by me, though I am very grateful to her, and is Brooks honest opinion that she wanted to share with all of you. And now on to Brooks review:

cheatingwives1coverWell, I have to say that ‘Fingered Next To My Husband’, definitely took me by complete surprise and I enjoyed the intense scenario immensely. Of course being a huge fan of sex, I figured that I had this one sussed, so it was all the more thrilling to be wrong and have my sexual preconceptions stripped away; somewhat like the female character experiences ‘stripping away my resistance’. The book flows excitingly fast and for me, the pages turned like an addiction always making me want more, despite how much depth and detail Reed actually gives the reader.

Reed does not dance around the mulberry bush and shy away from detailing the graphics that erotica fans want to read, whether it concerns ‘hardening my nipples’ or ‘an itch in my panties that left me squirming’…Ladies, don’t tell me you haven’t been there, and if you haven’t then I feel for you… It is a beautiful piece of naughtiness that everyone should read and enjoy, because I bet a million dollars that people have fantasised about this for sure. The use of imagery is vastly pleasing as it further heightens the tension of the story and the climax, with ‘a spark landing in a puddle of gasoline’ and ‘a well-maintained machine, revving to life’, letting the reader know that redlining is a distinct possibility…

I can definitely say that ‘heat flushed through me in waves’ whilst reading ‘Fingered Next To My Husband’, and I would strongly recommend that all erotica fans experience the electrifying intensity of ‘sweet rapture’ by reading it as well; and to those of you who have never read erotica then this is a great place to start.

My cheeks definitely ‘flushed with warmth’ and it is a distinct possibility that ‘I soaked my panties’ as well…

You can purchase Fingered Next to My Husband at Amazon for $2.99.

Review: Men, Affairs; Why?

Men, Affairs; Why?

by Brooks E. Hanson

reviewed by Reed James

 

UntitledWhy do men cheat? Brooks Hanson, after a career working in nightclubs, has talked to a lot of men on why they’re out at the club drinking, partying, and hooking up with other women while their wives and girlfriends are at home. It’s become her passion, you could say, collecting stories from men about their and their friend’s affairs.

‘Men, Affairs; Why?’ is an in depth look at infidelity and male psychology that is both well researched and scattered with amazing, anecdotal quotes from men on why they cheat, and from a few men on why they would never cheat, on their wives. She attacks the subject form every angle, from the way society is changing, to how technology has made available so many avenues for men to find the causal encounters they desire, to the effects of pornography can have.

This is a well written, and unflinching, look at relationships in the United Kingdom, but it holds a lot of lessons for those of use outside the UK. Its full of real quotes from men on why they cheated on their wives and girlfriends. But this is no anti-male critique. She isn’t out to bash men for just being men, though she is disappointed in men who cheat, this is a study in the root causes of male infidelity and is an absolutely fascinating, if somewhat disheartening, read.

This is a 5 star book! At $2.99, ‘Men, Affairs; Why?’ is a great steal for anyone looking to understand male psychology.

Review: ‘Split Decisions’

Split Decisions

by Andrew Harding

reviewed by Reed James

 

split decisionhigh res.jpgAlli is a quiet, almost fragile, author suffering from blackouts and a trauma from her childhood that makes it hard for her to relate to people, including her boyfriend. On the day her boyfriend’s accidental death, she meets Harvey, a police detective that seems to understand just what she is—a hybrid.

Alli, like Harvey, was attacked by a vampire as a child, but not turned, leaving her in a quasi-state with some of the vampires gifts, and Alli is quickly fearing just what she’s doing during her blackouts—feeding on people. As she deals with the death of her boyfriend and the exploration of her powers, she finds a new life and someone who understands everything she is experiencing, like seeing the dead.

Drawn by their similar abilities, Alli and Harvey fall in love as she comes out of her shell, supported by the patient Harvey. As a serial killer strikes their town in England, Harvey enlists Alli’s unique gifts to help the police track down the monster killing and dismembering children and their families. And looming over Alli’s newfound life is the dread that she’ll learn just what she does during her blackouts and it will take away her newfound happiness.

Split Decision is a slow burn. It spends a lot of time introducing you to the world, maybe a little too much time, before it really gets into the meat of the story, but the characters of Alli and Harvey are so sweet together that it pulls you through the setup. The writings great, though it is quite heavy on the British slang, so be prepared to Google. I had never heard the term ‘off license’ before and was utterly baffled by the sentence until a looked it up. Since the story is told in first person from almost entirely by Alli, that only helps to get into the character’s head.

Now for the sex. It’s hot, graphic, S&M sex. Alli and Harvey aren’t fully human, and they make full use of that in the kinky sex that get into. Rubber play, body modifications, extended bondage sessions, and lots of vibrators, dildos, and butt plugs. Alli and Harvey take a very loving delight in taking each other to the edge of sex.

I’m looking forward to where the Hybrids series is going next. I give ‘Split Decisions’ 4.5 of 5 stars! At $0.99, for a 362 page novel, you are getting a bargain!
