This collection of six erotic short stories by Jenna Citrus and Christian Pan contained a couple of bright spots but overall struggled to hold my interest.
The two strongest entries come at the end. "Nervous Splendor" and "At The Movies" cleverly intertwine, crossing paths in a satisfying way that ties together nicely.
"Shhh!", "Love Letters" and "Eat The Rich" have potential but don't quite hit the mark. The writing tends to over-describe at the expense of really conveying the characters' emotions and desires. I think the erotic elements could have landed with more impact if the focus was on evoking feelings and building tension rather than explaining every detail.
I found the characterization in "Savage" to be troubling. Instead of coming across as boldly savage as the title suggests, the main character felt unpleasant and offputting to me. The story lacked nuance, painting the conflict as entirely the fault of the second character in a way that I experienced as overly simplistic and one-dimensional. More introspection and moral complexity would have made for a more compelling narrative.
In the end, while this collection has glimmers of heat and creativity, the overall execution didn't quite come together for me. I'm grateful to have received an ARC for free and hope my candid feedback may be of use.

Very well written six short stories. Two good authors coming together to give us this enjoyable collection. Enjoyed both Nervous and SHHH, both have a reality to them. Each of these stories have characters to fit the need. This is a first time that I have reviewed for either of these authors and hope to follow them again. You can enjoy each of these stories by yourself or with your favorite person. Would recommend.
