The stories in this anthology vary deliciously from science fiction to straight-up erotica—there’s something for everyone.
In She Marries Her, a southern bride juggles dealing with her overbearing mother and the stress of planning her dream wedding. Thankfully, she’s picked the right partner—one who can distract her from everything else and remind her why a wedding is happening in the first place. This piece of erotica with a heart will get your pulse racing.
A piece about pain, loss, and healing, Are Angels Allowed to Swear? is a complicated work of erotic fiction.
Scars of War takes us on an otherworldly journey of an Oracle and a Warrior, their forbidden love, and the lengths we go to—the sacrifices we make—in order to protect those we love.
New lovers, Jane and Ava, are still learning about each other. In Beautifully Exposed, Ava takes Jane on a journey of self-discovery and challenges Jane’s deeply held beliefs about herself and beauty.
Wava and Claire tells the timeless tale of love between two women. Wava has lost everything in her life; she can’t afford to lose Claire, too.
Travel with Carlie to Bora Bora in The Beach, where she meets Zoan and her group of Aussie friends. They sneak away for privacy, and all sorts of shenanigans ensue
REVIEW:
There are five stories in this anthology and each one is titled as a chapter. IE, chapters one to five. I found this odd to start with, but quickly realized I wasn’t starting a second chapter of the same story, but a new story each chapter. And, each story is told in first person.
The first thing that came to mind to describe this mixed bag of goodies when finishing was to liken them to a smorgasbord of entrees. You get to sample many different flavors, some you’ll like, some you’ll want more of, others might make you screw your nose up. But either way you’ll be happy you got to taste them all.
Rather than review each one separately I’ll suffice to say, the stories range from contemporary to paranormal – with such things as vampires, warriors, oracles, a wedding, and erotica. Each of the short stories are what I call teasers.
Chapter two/story two featured a character who knew Jesus. Something I think the author took a huge risk to tackle, especially when she referenced the bible as being incorrect. Not being a religious person I thought it was great. However, I steer well clear of discussing or dissing religion so kudos to her for daring to go there.
My least favorite story was ‘The Beach’ due to the fact the heroine’s ‘Aussie’ voice drove me insane. I have Australian friends, none of them speak in such an exaggerated manner. Oh and this story had gushing pussies, something I never enjoy reading about.
My favorite story was Chapter 3/Scars of War. Which is ironic really, as it was paranormal, not my preferred genre, and had no erotic content, something I lap up. However, the plot had me enthralled. This is the story I would have chosen for my main course.
I recommend this collection to readers who enjoy lesbian anthologies, with five very unique stories.
