American Taboo
Acclaimed erotica author Madison Ava Jones pushes the genre into fresh new territory with this collection of taboo-shattering stories. The audacity of the fantasies is only matched by the diversity and intelligence of its characters. The author delves headfirst into the unspoken and forbidden fantasies of erotic life in twenty-first century America.
From naïve Anna’s foray as a foreign call girl on a work layover in Chicago, to Harper’s quest to fulfill the ultimate rape fantasy in sex savvy Manhattan, to Marissa’s journey to a clandestine fetish house for black men, to border agent June’s girl-on-girl play with a captured illegal immigrant, the stories go deeper into forbidden worlds than you ever thought was possible.

The title to this sample of short stories by Madison Eva Jones says it all. Ms. Jones takes the naughty taboos that infiltrate American society, interracial power games, rape play, incest, and twists them into short scenes of erotic treasures. I have to admit that some of the thrill of this book was the fact that some of these fantasies hit closer to home than I
originally thought they would. This is not for the faint of porn! Jones does not pull her punches in her description of the sex that happens! In fact, each story packs such a steamy sexy punch that the reader will be shifting in her seat if not walking to her toy drawer! For this reason I give her a Flame heat reading. She may not get you off with just her words but damn it’s close!
I must caution, this anthology may not be for every reader. Because it does deal with a number of taboos, those readers who are looking for nice romantic stories that trend towards the predictable coital conclusion should steer clear of this steamy read. For the grammar nazi in all of us, there are a few typos that, while not major errors, may prove a slight distraction to those Type A personalities in the reading audience.
Overall, I give this book Four Divas! It engages the reader, keeps her on the edge, and allows her to safely add some taboo fantasies into her arsenal. As a last note on this book, I have to talk about my favorite story in this collection. “Stripping off the Hijab” became my favorite story in this collection not only because it was hot, but also because it takes an interesting perspective into what it means to be a liberated woman from a typically restrictive culture. The thoughts that run through the main character not only show that being a sexy woman is ok but also that breaking cultural barriers on sexiness can also be acceptable. I hope everyone gets a chance to find a story in this collection that rings true for them. Till next time.

I'm sitting here trying to type a review but I'm having a really hard time.
I'm torn, and I think I've figured out why.
For what this book is, it's perfect. Short stories that delve into the taboos of American sexual preferences.
My problem keeps going back to one story. I just did not enjoy it, but of course not everything is for everyone. Now that I'm racking my brain trying to figure it out, it's reminded me of the stories in the book that I DID enjoy... I'll just say this. If you read it, and you're not into a story, it probably won't get better by the end, so don't dwell on that one story. Give the rest of the short stories a chance, as well.

Thrilling spicy erotic collection of stories
I can't say that all of the stories are exactly my style, but they are all good. I would recommend you read them for fun and maybe to see some kinky relationships.

Like all collections of short stories, some were better than others. A mixture of aspects considered taboo in American society. Not bad.
