In the dark lobby with music and lights pulsating around her, she spots a sexy masked man that won't look away from her. He leads her to an exhibition room but will she dive head first into the experience she's always fantasized about?

With just enough plot to get you there, this smutty short story promises pages of praise and steamy action.

MF, watching, and new experience. I really enjoyed the writing, plot, and characters in this one.

Its was alright

I enjoyed it but it fell short to be honest. This should have been proofread at the very least is it serena or sabrina that is her sister. It was free so can't complain

Had 30 minutes to kill, and this was a fun little read :)

Masked by Penny Jackson was the perfect little Halloween treat. It’s short, spicy, and packed with just enough mystery to keep you completely hooked. The atmosphere? Dark, intriguing, and dripping with tension.

The characters had me immediately invested. The chemistry between them was instant and electric, making every interaction feel intense in the best way. And when things finally heat up? Absolutely worth the build-up. Penny Jackson doesn’t hold back, and I was so here for it.

If you’re looking for a quick, steamy read with the perfect mix of mystery and spice, Masked absolutely delivers.

This was a fun fast paced read and I honestly would love to see where this relationship goes! Mask theme parties are always a 🤌🏽

This is a fun short story about a masked adult party. I could really relate to the fmc, because I’m constantly getting compared to my sister. I love that the mmc is considerate of her and even gives aftercare. So important! I wanted more after the story to see where it went. My only complaint really was I felt, “cupcake” was used a little too much for my personal liking. Other than that though, I throughly enjoyed this story. A decent spicy short story to pick up, so you can cross off one of your reading goals for the year!

2/5 I was honestly expecting him to know who she was. The entire thing about FMC being related to someone famous was unnecessary for me because I was waiting for the other shoe to drop the entire time. The smut was dry lol.

ALSO, nobody proofread this book, I'm sure, because at the beginning her sister was called Serena a pop star, and by the end, her name changed to Sabrina. Just... it's 24 pages of mediocre smut. The least the author could do is keep the damn name.

☁︎ For 24 pages it was a nice and spicy read. It's nice if you need just a little spicy and exhibition k*nk! Nothing crazy but the tad of plot in there was nice as well!

Jackson claims this is one-hand reading*

I'LL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT!! 😤
*it's not 😒

This is said to be a Halloween book but it's Christmas-themed...
Fmc has only been with her bf and before they get married the bf gives her a hall pass so she gets some experience. Fmc hooks up with her bf's friend who has always wanted her.
The dynamics were weird and everything ended abruptly; I found it meh.

This was really nice. I was gonna say cute but my definition of cute is different than the general consensus of cute. I did enjoy it. I may return to read the rest of the series. Thankfully it didn't end on a cliffhanger so I won't have to get the next book just yet.

[Bamby · Rating 3 out of 5]

With the background info we got on the FMC… I’m hoping for more. There’s a decent foundation for a good book here, and I would be excited to see one come to fruition. This was just really fun!!

Trope(s): Romance. Contemporary. Masked.

Trigger Warnings: Kink heavy.

[Sara | Doorasbookshelf · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honestly, the premise was actually good

[Jo DarkRom · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you want a fast read and enjoy spicy this is perfect. It's well written, fast paced, no plot, just a one night stand at a masked ball. It's a fun read.

[Angel · Rating 1 out of 5]

I…don’t know what I just read?? The book was nothing like the description and took place during Christmas instead of Halloween?

[Caitlyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick and spicy

Plot is... well there's spice but not much else. But with only like 90 pages can't be too expectant. Good for a quick naughty read!

[Jessica Barnett · Rating 4 out of 5]

fast read

Very fast read. Love the mask. Love how they when to the glass room. It was hotSpicy not for under 18.

[Stephanie Stradtman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Super short quick spicy read.


I liked how it had some plot but mostly just two people exploring sexual interactions.

[Dru · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honestly was in my kindle from a free download day.

Nothing special, was bored and an easy read.
