Okay, first of all, this book needed an editor. The formatting was off in the third story, which made reading difficult. Second, I don't want to read male on male erotica. That should have been in a book of like-kind stories or sold on its own. Now, the break-down:
The Deal - This is a short office revenge story. Definitely sits in well with the title of the book, well-written, I'll probably read it again.
Vacation Whore - What was this story doing in the book? I kept waiting for it to do something deserving of the anthology title. Didn't happen. Well-written, just didn't belong in this book.
Surrender the Wolf - The author had no idea what she was doing with this story. It's a werewolf tale (tail?) but superfluous to the plot, such as it is with these types of short stories. This is the one where the formatting is messed up. No indents to separate out the paragraphs.
Jungle Fever - The male on male. Not my cuppa.
Sudden Chemistry - Also not my cuppa. Girl slips guy a roofie, ties him to the bed, makes him call her mistress...um, no thank you. But now, reverse the roles and I might give it another read. Maybe minus the roofie.
So of all the short stories, The Deal is the only one I'd read again.
I came across this free book on my iBooks app and decided to give it a try, as I work on expanding my reading interests. It was also short, but not to short which I appreciated. The book is exactly as it describes and is "rough".
Many of the stories did a lot of "telling" and not "showing" with the writing. The book could have used some more editing as there were still some spelling errors, which distracted from the story.
"Jungle Fever" was my favorite story from the book and overall done well. It helped to bring the book up from two to three stars. I couldn't vibe with "Taking Him by Force" due to the use of date rape drugs.
Three of the stories was fine for me but one I was not really all that interested in reading about. I’m just not into reading about the LBGTQ community when it comes to erotica. I don’t mind sex I just don’t like it mixed in with my erotica. The stories seemed very detailed and made me hot for my own body to get off a little. If your into the fantasy of reading of others exploits with kink then this is the book for you. If not than move on to something else.
Honestly I liked most of the stories in here and LOVED Jungle Fever. I have never read a MM story before - but frankly it got me realizing that its an entire genre I may like, it was done just rough and just soft enough. I will also say that the "rough sex" was very mild if you're into any real bondage kink. The only one that really did "tying up" was Delilah Fawkes' piece (unless it was also in the one I skipped because of poor editing.)
My other thoughts are if you're going to put together a compilation have an editor go through all the pieces so they're of the same quality. Perhaps it's a simple advertising technique for these authors, but there is a story I couldn't read because of formatting and editing issues, it hopped tense so many times I couldn't understand what was going on and I got frustrated and skipped it...which sucked because it was the werewolf erotica and I had wanted to read that one most.
In the end I chose to give it 3 stars because I had to skip 1/5 of the stories, most were clean enough to read and mildly enjoy, one was pretty good - I remember it but waver on the details, and one was hot enough that I'm writing this review, even though I read it almost 2 weeks ago. I was going to review Jungle Fever alone for 5 stars, but couldn't find it.
I am not sure why the disclaimer for this book mentioned "dark erotica" and "somewhat unwilling participants" > i don't think that was the case with ANY of the stories (well, maybe the first one)... Otherwise, nothing rough about this one - pretty standard sexy stories. First 2 were pretty good, the last three - not so much...
The Deal - I liked this one - the only one that fits in with the title of the book...
Vacation Whore - I liked this one as well , but why is it in a book called "Some Like It Rough"???? It's a vacation romance...
Surrender the Wolf - Pretty stupid. How does a werewolf story fit into this?! Also, the fact that the guys shifts into a wolf has NOTHING to do with the story and it's barely even mentioned > so why bother?!
Jungle Fever - Ummm, no... Male on male struggle over who's on top - whatever!
Sudden Chemistry - If a guy did this to a girl, it would be called rape and abuse...but when a girl does it to a guy - it's just stupid and silly!
Anthology with short stories filled with BDSM. I thought it would be better, but *meh* The two first ones was very short, no fluff and don´t expect any cuddles, either. When i finally started one promising SS (great intro, really sets the scene with the jungle *rawr*) it turns out to be a M/M and not what i wanted to read atm. *sigh* The last one was a female Domme and not what i wanted. The only reason i managed to finish it was because the stories were shorter than usual and very easy to skim through. That´s one hour i never get back.
I was pleasantly surprised. When I went looking for an erotic book, I was just coming off of a YA reading binge. I wanted something that was naughty from the word GO. And this little book did that for me. It is short but it had a nice variety to it.
The book is written by several different authors and in the future, when I need some hardcore, NOT YA bull, I will be looking them up and seeing what other little tidbits they have written.
I got this from Amazon as a free read and figured I would give it a go. It wasn't horrible. The stories were definitely on the rough side. The m/m I skipped and didn't read, not that I don't read them, I just wasn't feeling this one. For the most part the book was a good erotic read surely to make you hot!
Definitely interesting...Quick read. Some content was enjoyable (hair pulling, restraints), some out of my comfort zone (biting with blood drawn, slapping across the face - hard) and some I found downright disturbing (choking & drugging by Dominants). I'm not judging - I have no problems with any sexual acts between two consenting adults - some of it just seems potentially dangerous...
What a great collection of quick scenes. Each author got to showcase their own quick scene with links to their other books at the end. It was a great way to meet new authors and try out a genre you might otherwise overlook.
Started off well with the first 2 skipped the male bit as don't like that and the last one was ok. Only read it as it was a freebee off amazon and really wouldn't recommend to be honest
Overall it was a fairly good read..A couple stories were absolutely mind blowingly HOT and others were EH.. Whoever edited these stories really needs a change of careers though. It was really awful.
