Mutiny in Chapter Three: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Romantic Comedy of Errors
Amy’s having a bad year. She’s lost her husband and her job and all she’s got left is a house with a mortgage and a book that refuses to be written. But she’s got Marley Davis, a great critique partner who never gives up on her, and a dozen Chapter Threes that just need to be turned into books. If only she could get past the sex scenes. Jean and Danny -- or whoever their names are in this chapter -- have been stuck in these files far too long. They’ve had enough. Time for the characters to take over. It’ll take everything they’ve got, and maybe a little help from Marley, to save this book, but they’re not going down without a fight. It’s Mutiny… in Chapter Three.

Having lost her husband and her job, Amy is having a rough year. Her mortgage is becoming urgent and the book she’s trying to write just is not working. Marley, her critique partner is excellent and won’t give up on Amy, but all these Chapter Threes need to get past the hurdle of the first sex scene. Meanwhile Jean and Danny – or whatever their names are in this particular edition of the chapter – are tired of languishing in the files. They’re ready to get out and if it takes mutiny to get there, then so be it.
I found this to be a fun and lighthearted quick story. I loved the fact the characters in many senses were “real” and despite the fact they were all in Amy’s head in this story they helped direct their own story. I also found it deeply amusing that all the chapters in the first half or so of the book were various editions of the dreaded “Chapter Three”. Readers who are looking for something a bit more humorous and not afraid to take itself lightly should find this a hilarious read. Grab a drink, sit back and enjoy the ride.
Readers looking for a complicated plot or a story that’s intense won’t find that here. This is a fun rollick – rather like a cheesy 80s movie with a lot of fun, humour and banter. I thought this would be a lovely story for a quick pick-me-up when you’ve had a rough week or for a bit of steamy, laughter filled sexy reading time before you go to sleep. The first half of the book is a mishmash of the characters trying to work out exactly what’s going on and get themselves organized, then for the second half the book progresses a bit more logically with a steamy and still fun conclusion.
For a very different, and laughter filled quick read this is a good and fun story that I feel sure should make you smile and leave you feeling satisfied.

This is a short tongue-in-cheek story about a writer who is having a writer’s block and about her characters coming alive and taking over. These two hunky male characters are tired of waiting for the ahem, main event, or any event really, so they meddle and plot and make things happen. It’s a bit absurd and a bit bizarre and a whole lot of fun. I laughed most of the time when I was reading it, even though at times I couldn’t even keep track of who was who and who did what. It’s really short, has a bit of steam and a happily ever after, of course. Just read it, you won’t regret! Five stars!

Writer’s Block with Consequences . . .
This is a very unusual story about an author, Amy, who can’t get past writing Chapter 3. Her characters, Jean (a male) and Danny are getting tired of being trapped in the pages and unable to move on. It’s been months since any forward-moving writing has occurred and they are just hanging around. The author, Amy, has had a rough time of things this year, so she needs a little help to get her plots going again. And her characters are finally ready to mutiny and find a little action in the pages!

I found this to be a very fun and unique story, where the characters of an unfinished novel decide to take matters into their own hands and write the sex scene that the author can't seem to do.
It features a large amount of sexual content but for fans of the author and erotic romance it will be expected.
As I prefer more romance in my books this wasn't really for me but it was different and didn't take long to read.

What happens when an author has writer's block and can't seem to get back a certain chapter? Let the character's decide their fate!
Amy recently lost her husband and her job. She's been writing a book to fill in her time, but she can never get past chapter three. Chapter three is where the sex scenes are supposed to be written. Amy has never written a sex scene before and is not confident in her ability to do so. Hence, Amy's computer files are filled with a dozen or so chapter three's and no complete books.
Jean and Danny are two gorgeous male characters in Amy's chapter threes'. They are frustrated in the fact they never get to have sex and are aggravated to be stuck in the files for so long. After talking it over with one another, they decide to write the book themselves.
The first thing they do is find the file written in the first person. Once they open that, they can speak with directly with Amy, the author, and voice their frustrations. When they finally meet Amy though, they take out the frustrations in a different way. Menage trois' anyone?
Shelby Morgen has turned the way to read a book upside down. I totally loved reading this from the character's perspective. Fun, new, and entertaining! The chemistry between Amy, Jean and Danny absolutely sizzles. I look forward to reading more of Shelby Morgen's work. MUTINY IN CHAPTER THREE is a must read for erotica fans!
