Jackie is a naive yet adventurous nymph who is tricked by a satyr into trading a rare root and a lick of her nectar, for two "magic" beans. But the beans are more magical than any of them could have imagined. Will she be able to save her forest from the powerful forces above? This naughty 8000 word short story is intended for adults only. Contains explicit sex, a playful nymph, a satyr with a sweet tongue, spanking, tentacle penetration, hot sex with a horny Storm Giant, size difference fetish adventure, squirting nymph nectar, and a dizzying climax! clouds couldn't be much farther; she could hear them rumbling just above her and see them illuminated through broken flashes of lightning.Then something strong grabbed her leg. She squeaked in panic, and gripped a vine with all her might. She kicked at it in desperation. It released her, and she exhaled in relief. The last thing I need is to be thrown from this high up.She climbed faster and soon she felt arms reaching for her. As she grabbed a vine, it suddenly writhed in her hand. She recoiled, almost losing her grip, but caught her arm over another vine. It moved as well, threatening to wrap around her waist. She closed her eyes and sent soothing thoughts to the beanstalk but she only got silence in return. It's angry with me for some reason."I'm sorry for climbing you," she said with empathy as she jumped from the twisting tendril back to the trunk. "I promise not to bother you again after today."A tendril snaked up her thigh. She tried kicking it off but another wrapped around her arm and shoulder. "Oh, let me go, mean plant," she ordered but more vines tightened around her limbs. The vertigo returned as her body swung out over a void of black space. She screamed and lifted her head, trying not to look down. Above, she saw dark shadows coming down on her. In the moment before they struck, she recognized the clouds. The beanstalk was raising her up. Mist splashed her body as she was surrounded by pillows of wispy fluff. Then she was above them and the vine stopped, her toes inches above the clouds. "Thank you, Mister Beanstalk," she said with relief. "You can let me down now." She'd finally reached her destination.But the plant gripped her tight. She struggled against her restraint and the tendrils writhed, circling around her body. As a cascade of strands wrapped around her, she felt their sinuous pressure at her ear. She shook her head and a vine whipped around her neck, shooting into her mouth.
I write quirky, kinky and adventurous erotica and romance whenever I can escape from the demands of my day job. I love paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and contemporary romance (especially when it has a power dynamic/BDSM edge to it). I'm blessed to work with other talented authors, beta readers, and of course my amazing husband who is my best friend, critique partner, and ruthless editor all rolled into one. Unfortunately, I'm also woefully unskilled when it comes to social media, but I try to visit Goodreads whenever I can!
Well, it's not as bad as 50 Shades. The author seems to be able to get the basics of grammar, though there are way too many fragments. But there are not those really stupid sentences that popped up too often in 50 Shades. I could, for instance, understand Reyer getting her book published by Vintage (I still can't understand why they published James' 50 Shades).
But basically, it's boring or insulting. It's boring cause it is really dull. It's insulting because it implies all women are out to get thier mother's boyfriends and if they are stupid (or otherwise mentally compromised), it really isn't rape.
Well, dumb blondes, if they actually are real (all the blondes I know have intelligence), should be happy. Jackie makes them look smart.
I think if Reyer moves away from erotica, her other work might be more enjoyable - (her world building is actually pretty consistent).

It was a weird yet short read. Props for the twist to a classic fairy tale. I’m glad alud didn’t have to die(despite almost eating Jackie). The sex scenes were meh. They were brief, forgettable, and some even rapey. Particularly the ones involving vines.
It wasn’t bad, just meh. I’d say read something instead.
Jackie is a nymph and she’s been sent to find a root to cure her mother who is sick from all the rain. Instead, she’s tricked into trading the root for some magic beans. Luckily for Jackie the magic beans really are magic and she uses the beanstalk they grow to climb straight up to see the Storm Giant who is causing all the rain. The Storm Giant is willing to negotiate, but will Jackie survive the terms?
Well, she survived being violated by the beanstalk on her way up and the Storm Giant says that nymphs have that effect on beings. Um, that kinda sucks, putting off a vibe or whatever that makes every living thing want to shag you senseless. Sounds exhausting. Anyway, Jackie and Ulf, as he’s called, have an interesting experience with a twist that makes it possible for a giant and a nymph to do the cloud mambo. There are a few errors, but nothing horrendous. This is a quick enjoyable bit of monster porn even if the woman is a nymph and not a human.
I can't help myself. This one was fun. Giants and wee, little nymphs getting together for some quality one-on-one time makes me laugh. Figuring out the logistics alone is awesome. The actual *ahem* riding? EVEN BETTER.
I normally enjoy fairytales turned into erotic stories. The juxtaposition between the familiar and innocent with the forbidden and naughty is usually fun. However, in this one I feel that Reyer didn’t push the boundaries enough, she didn’t use her imagination to really make the story special.
Very short story, but effective world-building within its limited length. A fun little twist on the Jack and the Beanstalk tale that is good if you want a quick read. The 'erotic' scenes seem a bit shoved in to be honest and the story may have actually been better without them.
The title says it all. You get a spicy beanstalk fairytale. Never in my life did I think I’d read about something like this but here we are. It is short and to the point. So if you are looking for a short spicy story to pass the time, this is it.
What a fabulous way to ruin a childhood fairy tale!! Loved it! This book made me laugh. It was definitely naughty, but in a way not to be taken too seriously!!
Jackie gets tricked into trading a root that was intended to help her sick mother for 2 magic beans. Her mother’s lover is angry and throws them outside and spanks Jackie, but the little nymph secretly likes it. She wakes the next morning lying beside her mother to find a huge beanstalk had grown, after climbing up towards the top the vines take on a lusty life of their own and have their way with Jackie. To her shame she enjoys it and wakes in a cage the Storm God Giant looking down at her....what will Jackie have to do to ease the storms and help heal her mother now???
Adorable and sexy story that reads like a classic fairy tale, but one that's very much only for adults. Read it for the tentacle vines and was pleasantly surprised by the size difference kink. Well written, hot and sweet <3
