I don't see what the point is of abridging erotica. This seems to me a bad marketing gimmick.
Not only is it a shortened version, it also separates the male from the female parts of the work. (See Close Encounters for the other half).

Read the full version of Reyes' book, Behind Closed Doors.

My boyfriend and I read this aloud to each other during a road trip and had the most wonderful time. It’s strangely philosophical and metaphysical at times and disturbing at others.
I only wish there were more dicks in the main characters hole - that’s what we were here for!
The first chapter is the most fulfilling, with the endings quite lovely and thought provoking as well.
All in all it was a lovely surprise to find more than just smut.
There’s also too many commas.

I think this is the same book, my review of a Phoenix mini paperback is called 'Brief Encounter' ... maybe I read an abridged version?

I guess this is erotic fiction - not a genre I am particularly familiar with! But, despite the confusing circus/labyrinth structure, there appears to be some depth here; the hero searching for his lost love and having to make choices along the way that lead to a sad hermit's end or an equally sad suicide as a rich playboy.

Using as place holder for a Dramione FF…just like to keep track of the books I read.

very very exciting as you enter from a door to another it feels like you being the one who's opening doors & making those outstanding actions with the Lost shadow of the past & the other one really interesting. to be Re-commanded to all erotic literature fans ^^
