About the author
Billy London
34 books270 followersAh, poor Billy. The only girl between two boys who each have nearly a foot on her. Didn't stop her from starting physical fights with them. She still thinks she can take them. So while she used to hide away in her wardrobe to read a book or four, she started to question why the heroines in those books would just lie there and take it. No, not just sex, but downright James-Bond-backhand-slapping, do-as-you're-told-woman, inappropriate lie there and take it.
She couldn't understand it. These women were just playing that mental woman from Coming to America, Miss “Whatever You Like” who barked like a dog and hopped on one foot. Billy didn't want to do that. Definitely not because one empty-headed fool with different anatomy told her to. So she started to create characters and worlds where the women could own their sexuality, their intelligence, their right to turn around and say “jog on, mate” without apology.
The small problem was that other people wanted to read what she was had written. “Er...why?” didn't cut it as an answer. After years of prodding and pleading and come on and for goodness’ sake, what's the point otherwise, she closed her eyes and pressed “submit.” Actually, she had Prosecco, limencello and white wine, then pressed “submit.” Who would have thought people would actually enjoy reading about the crazy characters who live in her head? But they have done, and Billy feels rather proud of that connection with her fellow man.
Billy lives in London with the most patient family in the world and doesn't forget for a minute how lucky she is. Well, she wouldn't mind a BBC adaptation of one of her novels... Ooh, with Richard Armitage!

It's a 5 minute story (maybe 7 min.) about a blogger named Melanie who is invited onto the set by an actor named Sean to show that a sex scene is not easy work. Melanie criticized Sean's work hence the invite on set. Melanie shows up on the set thinking she will be some unknown extra, but unbeknownst to her she will have the specific role of being the fairy that has sex with the Sean. The whole story revolves around their sex scene so it was nothing but sex. :)
I felt that this story was an introduction to Billy London's writing style, which was good because I would hate to spend 6-7 dollars on a book that I may not even like. Ms. London was able to craft a full story in this brief amount of time and the story felt complete. It didn't leave me with the feeling of something was missing, which was a nice change.
The grammar was solid. The sensual heat in this story was a 3.5 out of 5, but the story lost brownie points because the cock sock was mentioned, but was bypassed. That was a little distracting. I was thinking, ummm not smart especially doing the Hollywood scene, so that took away from the story. It would have been better if it wasn't mentioned at all because I would have automatically assumed otherwise. So I give this a 3.5 overall.
