About the author

Bella Jeanisse

48 books495 followers
Bella Jeanisse lives for rock music. Addicted to concerts, Avenged Sevenfold, fictional rockers, and blasting music in the car, she can’t get enough. After her father turned her on to Queen, there was no going back. Of course, it didn’t stop there. Playing guitar became a pastime, which didn’t turn into a career… until she started to pen her fantasies and publish them.

Originally from Brooklyn, New York City, she grew up with access to clubs like L’Amour and CBGBs, hung out in Greenwich Village, as well as had plenty of friends in bands. No wonder rockers stayed on her mind. Bringing her ideas to life was a long time coming.

She is now living near Tampa, FL with 3 kids and 2 grandkids, as a single mom. Her family supports her writing even when it seems to take up more time than they feel is necessary. Can’t stop the muse, ya know!

Besides erotic rock star romances, Bella also writes about wild bikers, hot college men and more.

WOW!! Is it HOTT is here or what!!!
8 insatiable, scorching hot short stories.

The New Guy In Town.
Lunch Hour Lounge.
Joe To The Rescue.
What Are Friends For.
The Fantasy Book.
Musician vs Technician.
Chance Meeting.
The Bad Wife.

I don't even know where to begin, I feel I am in need of a cold
Shower before I even begin this review ;)

I was tossing up between 4 and 5 stars purely because of the last story ( the bad wife) however, just because I didn't enjoy the story line, I can't fault Bellas writing skills, hence why I went with a 5 star rating.

The new guy in town ( I II III )
Meeting at a club, that they were both dragged to separately, Jennifer and Matthew have a few too many drinks, ending up on a wild ride (pun intended ) in the club toilet! There was nothing short and sweet about this!!
As you can probably tell, this happens quite a few times, after they get kicked out that is!!
I would have likes to be the taxi driver ;) if you know what I mean!
I had a feeling about the neighbour thing. But I'm guessing most people will when they read this.
I loved the writing style. Most short stories are so rushed, that it ruins a story that is capable of so much more. Bella has such a way with words!
Oh my gosh this made me spit my drink all over my phone!!!!

"Do you like lasagna?"
"Uh, yer, it's my favourite."
"I'll make you some next weekend, kind of like a thank you for all the orgasms."
This was by far my favourite part of this series.


Lunch hour lounge.

Justin and Tina's story was a nice one.
Omg the scene with Marco HOTT!!!! Jesus H Christ HOTT HOTT HOTT !!!!


Joe to the rescue.

I enjoyed Joe and Angies story. Hot young guy super hot milf...... I was waiting for something to happen with Christian though?


What are friends for ( I II III IV V )

Allie and Michael I wasn't a huge fan, for the simple fact I HATE cheating, seriously if you're not happy, leave. Not rocket science people!! The story was hot enough, I just couldn't get past the cheating, to enjoy it like it deserved. (It was REALLY hot, and I'm sure everyone else will love it!!) Sorry!!

The fantasy book. ( I II III IV

Nathan and Samantha.
This had a bit of everything!! D/s, BDSM, public, anal, fantasy rape, threesome, toys, being watched. Steamy read, though I barely made it through the rape scene. This was my favourite of all these short stories!


Musician vs technician. ( I II III IV V)

Adam ( musician ) and lori were hot as hell!! Besides Max, that to me was gross!!!That dam bike!! I wasn't a fan of the technician ( Nick ) he creeped me out! However the pool threesome. I.HAVE. NO. WORDS!!

Chance meeting. ( I II III IV V)

Josh and Kelsee I enjoyed a lot. I think the strip club with 'Dazzle' was my favourite part!!

The Bad wife ( I I III IV V )

Well........ I'm just not sure about this one...... Hot, yes, yes it was. I think I'll leave it at that, and let you decide if you're into that sort of thing!!

Overall, a seriously HOTT book!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK, you won't be disappointed!!!

I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I love it when authors share their work and I so wish I had nicer things to say here. I gave up at 34%. I am a fairly easy quitter. I don't have much time for anything, let alone reading, and life is too short to spend time reading something that isn't fun. The first chapter drove me nuts and not "holy shit, that's sexy" kind of nuts. I skipped the next few until I got to the next short story. That second short story was a bit easier to tolerate and I read the whole story. But the 3rd story had me back where I was with the 1st story.

Writing-wise, it was a little hard to follow the inner dialogue. Perhaps it's because I'm reading too much 1st person/ alternating POV books, but I had a hard time following whose head I was in. Maybe "hard time following" isn't the best term, but I kept getting caught off guard, like "Oh! So now we're in her head again!"

As far as sex goes, ummmm, I'm not exactly sure what to say. There were some verbiage issues for me, but I think that's going to be a problem for a certain percentage of readers, no matter the word choices. This was certainly not the way I'd word things if I were writing it (which is a big, fat HA! because I'd never have the concentration to actually write a book, so I feel bad judging). It really read like someone was narrating a cheesy porn film. It felt a little like it was what someone would write if they were narrating porn that was designed for blind men. Hey, I'm the new girl in the office. Oh, my! You mean my new co-worker is super hot?! And he'd like to take a walk on our break. To an isolated area? Gee! Why yes, I would LOVE my shoulders rubbed by my hot new co-worker in an isolated area of the grounds of my new job (on my first day)! Then, add in the size references (boobs, penises) and it felt like it was very much written for a man who can't watch porn for some reason (i.e. blindness). It just didn't feel like it was written to attract women readers. I thought I didn't need love/relationships in an erotica book. I'm starting to think I do. It's one thing to be okay with non-relationship sex in books as a supplement to the bigger plot (i.e. the guy who has an angry one night stand after his girlfriend moves away, in a book that shall not be named for spoiler-avoiding reasons - that scene read like these scenes, but it was just a means to an end). It's another thing to read it from the inside of the characters' heads, as a beginning and end to their character development. It's not very attractive from that point of view, pretty one-note, like listening to teenagers talk about something pointless.

That said, if you want just sexy stuff, nothing but, really, really, really NOTHING but, this might be for you. But be warned, that's what I thought I wanted and it turns out there's a bit too much girl in me. Who knew?

Got to say i loved all these mini stories in this ebook each one had me wanting to read more. There are eight insatiable stories.

The New Guy In Town.
Lunch Hour Lounge.
Joe To The Rescue.
What Are Friends For.
The Fantasy Book.
Musician vs Technician.
Chance Meeting.
The Bad Wife.

All chance meetings, or friends who become more, work colleagues getting to know each other, toyboys a very naughty wife, threesomes and some emotion involved, all have explosive results. My favourite story being 'The New Guy In Town' Jennifer who is newly single is taken on a night out by her friend Angela, who wants her to have some fun and maybe indulge in a one night stand, Jennifer isn't interested until Matthew crosses her path, and boy they have fun just about everywhere, loved it. HAWT!!

The intimate moments are described in-depth, Bella Jeanisse knows how to write steamy sex, very arousing. (someone come sponge me down!) I really enjoyed reading 'Insatiable Appetites' it's well written and thorough in all the right 'spots'. I definitely recommend this, i look forward to reading more from this author.

***** I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*****

Can I first just say WOW?!!!!! If short stories aren't your thing, by all means stop here. This book is a collection of eight shorter stories but all are equally hot and steamy and bound to blow your mind (or your panties, either way lol). If you don't mind this type of book you are in for a real treat. Each story is different than the last but all are sexy and will leave you wanting more. In short stories I have noticed sometimes there is no defined ending or conclusion to the story which really leaves it up to the reader to figure out what the next step it. This is not the case here. Bella Jeanisse is able to capture the sexiness of the story, write it well, and leaves you with a conclusion that both gives the reader what they want (a defined ending) and leaves them wanting more.

Five stars for being just freakin' hot as hell!!!!!

***** I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*************

This book is compiled of a few short stories that are not for the meek and timid. This book will have the blood pumping in your veins and leave you begging for a fan and some cold water. The stories were so hot that I dont even know if I have a favorite. Some of them were a bit too much even for me but I still enjoyed reading them. I loved the, Lunch Hour Lounge, Musician vs. Technician, New Guy in Town, Chance Meeting and The Fantasy Book. I think I will end up creating a fantasy book of my own. Hehehehehehe! I will more than likely reread those stories over and over again. If you love erotic romance, I promise this book will not disappoint. Make sure your man or BOB is near you when you read this book. That is all I have to say about that!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!

I was given this book for an honest review. This is the first book by this author that I have read and I can say I was not disappointed. Some of the men in these stories take it to the extreme, but lets be honest that's part of the appeal in reading books like this.

The New Guy in Town
Lunch Hour Lounge (one of my favorites)
Joe to the Rescue
What are Friends For?
The Fantasy Book
Musician vs. Technician (another favorite)
Chance Meeting
The Bad Wife (May be to much for some)

This author has a way with telling these stories and unless you like sex to the extreme these books are not for you. Now if men had the stamina that these men in her stories did you would see more women with smiles on their faces. I will be following this author to see what else she has out there.
Hot, intense, makes you sweat kind of book. Loved it!

Omg I can't express in words about this book. First of all I don't like short stories. I feel I don't get enough of the story and I feel like I'm missing something and want to know more. There's about 8 short stories. Every story has a story and very Erotic sexy plots that you don't want to put book down. I'm in love with every story. It was hard starting a new story when u still have the last scene in your head. I had to take some breaths/breaks after a while. But the best part the story ending where you know how it will end not letting you think there's a part missing. I was very impressed that I enjoyed reading this book. What an erotic imagination.. I thank the author for the freebie with an honest review.

Wow... Just wow! Every story just got better and better. I like short stories that you can really sink your teeth into and these did the trick. They had all the fun and some seriousness too! These women knew what they wanted and if they were unsure, the men helped them figure it out! The stories will make you happy and hopeful at the same time. Hopeful that your day will be just like theirs! ;-)

I feel like I need a cigarette and I don't smoke.
This book is crazy erotic and graphic.
If you like short erotic stories with a variety of different naughty situations, this book is for you!
I feel like I need explicit words to describe how naughty it is.
To quote a friend from earlier tonight, "I feel like I need to sit in a tub of ice water in front of a fan!"

ARC received in exchange for honest review. Sadly I didn't finish it, therefore my review is based on 26% of the book. I was aware that this was an Erotic Read and I have enjoyed many erotic reads in the past, but I found the sex scenes more along the lines of a cheesy porno and just didn't feel plausible to me. The male characters I found to be over bearing and aggressive and in some instances these can be good qualities in a fictional male, but in these stories they just didn't appeal to me. The female characters I felt were, I would say, forced into situations rather than consenting fully! Maybe these situations were to reflect people's fantasies but I'm afraid they didn't appeal to me. I also had difficulty with the writing style, personally I felt it was a little too formal. For me personally I like my books to use less formal language. Again this is a personal preference but this is why I really am reluctant to even rate this book at all because obviously so many people have enjoyed it, so maybe it's just me that found this too difficult to read. Anyway thanks for allowing me the opportunity to read this book and I'm sorry I couldn't be more positive.

I received this ARC from the author in exchange for a review. I lost my cherry on this ARC... That being said I found myself filled with remorse as I opened myself to this task. The book did not work for me at all. It read and unfolded like a very cheap backyard porno for me. The character development was rushed, the dialogue in most chapters was very hard to follow. The editing was third rate as well as the grammar.

ARC....received book in exchange for an honest review, that said, this book is HOTT I needed the extra "T" to really get the point across. Bella has an excellent command of writing and will keep the reader hooked. Just to be fair this is an erotic set of short stories and they are EROTIC to a T. The stories are fresh and hot and keep your blood boiling. If I were to recommend some quick read stories....this is it. I appreciate the author for letting this book come out it was very enjoyable!

Great short stories! Due to my limited chances to read at times, I am sometimes on the lookout for low-commitment reads, and this did not disappoint! No more than five chapters apiece, the author has compiled a group of different scenarios. I did not feel like I was reading the same story over and over, so this was a book I'd probably pick up again.

Thanks for the ARC!

Very very well written, what a breath of fresh air to get so many short,steamy and HOT short stories in one book. A few of them I would love to see where it goes from there like Jennifer and Matthew or Allie and Michael. The sex scenes were never the same in all the stories so your attention was never slighted! Awesome read or shall I say reads !

Received an arr copy for an honest review. Loved the short stories in the book. The sex scenes were great and well written. Some of the stories I wish had been longer or been a short novellas. That is my only problem with the book.

Insatiable Appetites
By Bella Jeanisse
4 stars

Reviewed on behalf of 3 Degrees of Fiction Book Blog

I have to admit this book was pretty hot! I’m not always a great fan of short stories as I usually get into them and they are over but it was nice introduction to this author and I would definitely like to read more from her in the future.
All of the stories were written well, some were better than others and I enjoyed some more than others too but that is more personal choice about the content/plot rather than the writing. Fast and Easy was probably my favourite out of all the stories. There was just something about Jonas and Dalia I kind of liked!
If you are looking for something a little dirty, a little sexy and incredibly hot then this book is definitely for you!! Overall a good selection of saucy stories that I enjoyed!!

ARC received in exchange for honest review. First I must Thank you Bella for putting your short stories out there for us review. With that said in the past I have enjoyed other erotica reads however at times I thought I was reading stories that were a step up from Hustler (well written) kind of cheesy. Though I enjoyed the strong women characters and some of the overbearing males, I felt that after reading a couple of sex scenes, I had read them all. I actually skipped many of the sex scenes to see if there was more of a story (to these short stories).
The stories do get your blood pumping and they are indeed very sexy, so if you like your coffee black this is your book but if you like your coffee with a cream and some sweetener consider this book coffee with sweetener alone.
Though I gave this book a one star rating I would recommend it to those looking for erotica reads, personally my star ratings are based on the likelihood of re-reading the book and I won't be re-reading this book again.

If you are looking to be right in the middle of hot and steamy sex this book is for you. If you enjoy reading because you can relate to the characters in the book, there are various stories that you will enjoy reading.

On the whole, I did not love reading this book. There were various aspects of this book that I truly enjoyed. The author writes well and I believe that if the author would do well as the writer of a full length novels. I have read other erotica books and have enjoyed reading them. I think the erotica genre does not lend itself well to short stories.

I really liked the first short story entitled The New Guy In Town. Unlike some of the other short stories in this book, the characters in this short story were nicely developed. The characters were relate-able and like-able. Other short stories had poor character development and the sex scenes felt trashy and the scenes play out like porn.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. Insatiable Appetites is a collection of short stories regarding different scenarios where these characters pretty much have sex... a lot! I felt most of the scenes were repetitive and the female characters were all the same just with different names. The plot was non-existent and grammar was an issue. With that being said, this was a very smutty read. Some of the sex left me saying “Holy Sh...enanigans”. So if that is all you’re looking for with no plot whatsoever than I recommend, otherwise don’t waste your time.

I decided to rate my own books, just to tell you what I feel about them.

I started this collection because I had many tales that did not morph into novels. These are more erotic, with less story, but enough to give you the whole picture. My mind works is weird ways, so it makes sense that I have some wild stuff in there.

If I didn't think this was worth 5 stars, I wouldn't expect my readers to enjoy it.
