Lusty

"While the tentacle traced patterns over his abs, exploring, massaging his muscles, another gripped his free ankle. It happened so quickly that he had no chance to fight it. With every limb bound, he could only focus on the distraction of the tentacle at his navel."

Funny

"He fought to dust the cobwebs from his memories, and then wished he hadn't. Ignorance was bliss. It didn't involve memories of a giant octopus using him as a sex toy."

Wrong



For a limited time only, you can board this boat with a sexy scientist, a horny octopus, and a handsome sea captain who gets to make very few choices, for FREE.

A good time will be had by all.

Captain Liam Conrad gets knocked up by a giant octopus. I mostly laughed with his story.

Sometimes you read books because you want to be enlightened, or because you want to feel emotionally.
But sometimes, you just read books because they are filthy-good, and they do make you feel, but in a different way. Or maybe it actually did have deep inner meanings but I was too lust addled to notice.

what? like you've never read rapey tentacle erotica?

DON'T JUDGE ME.

Fun, and smutty story, but I'm glad I got it for free because it's the first part of a serial, and it's cuts out right as things start to get really interesting. Serial prices seem a bit inflated to me.

So I want to read it, but $2.99 for a 32 page ebook seems a bit much to me.



We'll see how long it takes me to break.

My first tentacle experience. Not terrible, a bit odd but still kinda hot. I liked the Dr. and would have liked to seen him with Liam more. Maybe in the next book. The book ended at the 70% mark and the rest was a preview for part 2.

Oh, there is mpreg happening for those of you with a taste for that delicacy.

[Trio · Rating 3 out of 5]

Tentacles... plus there's an interesting little twist here.

It's not exactly a cliffhanger, but it is more like it ends in the middle of the story so you need to get the next in the series for the continuing saga. (Not likely, in my case.) But it was fun anyway.

3.5 stars

Tent prawn FTW. And free. To hook you into the next one. Just like Liam got, um, hooked. By an amorous, possessive cephalopod. #funtimeintentporn

[Makhda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Monster porn!!

First thing first, I just popped my cherry tentacles book. LOL. And yes I must admit I liked it.

The story itself is silly. Well it's erotica. It's supposed to be fun, right? I really liked the writing style. So I'll just keep stalking you Ms. Snow^^

PS : The monster's semen could heal any abrasions in an accelerated rate. Damn, I wish it does exist. I would bottle it up just for me. For medical purposes...Sorry, I'm weird like that.

Warning : Dub/con, Non/con

Because you're mine, Liam. You'll always be mine.
Always.

***********************************************************

Hmmm... I keep pushing my boundaries.
Let's see how it goes.

And hey, it's free. :)

3 Stars

Tentacles and Mpreg. Yeah.

It shouldn't have been as hot as it was, especially the part where he's basically sedated and milked by the doc. Seriously. As if the tentacle!sex wasn't enough. So messed up I can't even properly express it...like a train wreck that you want to look away from but at the same time don't want to miss.

The sneak peek into book 2 has even more what-the-fuckery. Which of course means I want it now.

$3.50 FOR 43 PAGES?!

Hell, add some dubcon to this review. I mean, I want it, but not like this. Never like this.

[Alp Mortal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I didn't know whether to laugh or cum ... so I did both in spades.

Can't wait to read part 2.

I hope I didn't actually pay for this short story.

[Serena Yates · Rating 3 out of 5]

Okay, I admit it: I was curious to read a "tentacle sex" book. They seem to have become popular recently, and I decided to give in to temptation. Was it worth it? I'm still not sure. The plot is simple, and definitely twisted. Liam is a captain who takes Dr. Carson, a marine biologist, out to sea so the scientist can do research. Liam has an encounter with a giant octopus and the scene with the tentacles going everywhere is definitely hot. The fact that Liam converses with it telepathically made the situation slightly less weird, if even more ridiculous unless you assume the octopus is some sort of alien species. Not sure that makes it better, but it helped me deal with it. Liam, however, is still struggling at the end of this part.

The story ended too soon, and I am a little annoyed to find out it comes in three parts. What I thought to be sequels are actually part two and three of the same story. If you like the strange and weird, if you're curious what tentacle sex is all about, and if you're looking for a read that is wild and raunchy, and pure erotica of the stranger kind, then yu might like this short story.

This was an Amazon Freebie for Kindle and I just had to read it... I mean, come on look at that title. To make a short story even shorter, Liam gets raped and knocked-up by a giant octopus. But the whole time I'm reading this underwater interspecies rape scene, I'm thinking "HOW THE FUCK IS HE BREATHING?!"

It's not the giant octopus raping and impregnating a human that bothers me, it's the biological heresy of the octopus shoving a tentacle down Liam's throat to provide him oxygen. No. That's too far outside the realm of believability. Is the octopus full of oxygen? Where does the carbon dioxide go? A tentacle isn't a tube. No.

Also, there was an overabundant use of the word "hole"...

[Hc · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ended up being one of the decent tentacle stories.. and mpreg, possessive, a little more to come in 'book'2

Knocked off deck, taken by octopus who provides air under water via tentacle in mouth (that's a new one for me) and a massive orgasm on both sides of the equation..

[Vfields Don't touch my happy! · Rating 3 out of 5]

Silly I needed something totally silly but fun to read. Ding! Right on the money.

[Arlyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was not one of my favorite reads, by far... but it also wasn't one of my least favorites. So, that said, a 3 star review seems a foregone conclusion.

The subject matter is subversive enough that my interest in the story never waned. There were some fun reveals and surprises, but I don't feel like I read an actual story...just the framework of one. However, there is a book 2, so an maybe the best is yet to come. Perhaps there will come a time where I'll be compelled to pursue the ending but I really can't imagine it happening anytime soon.

OK for a quick read. Maybe this book, when paired with the sequel, would combine to make a GOOD read. I'll keep you in the know if I ever find out...

[Stacey Jo · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love tentacle porn and this is a good one. I felt it was well written. The thing I like most is that unlike other books, this one doesn't deal with shifters. It's an actual octopus. I thought that was cool and in my mind, makes it stand out from the others. This one was free online, but I liked it so much, and it ends on a cliffhanger, so I immediately bought the second and read it.

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great series.

Very interesting series. It's hot if you like monster erotica. It seems to have been awhile since its release and the third installment still isn't available. Really hoping the author finishes it, I really want to know about the birth!

[Elaine · Rating 1 out of 5]

The 'book' is only 70% long, the other 30% is a sneak peak of book 2. This is basically one long non-con chapter. This was free, and I still feel like I paid too much.

[Winnett · Rating 2 out of 5]

So, the sex scenes were fun, but there was a lot of inconsistencies in character and unreasonable reactions and the like. The MC was pissed, then passive. I had no idea why certainly things (the semen sample) happened... So, it was an okay story, but could have been better.

[Lillian · Rating 2 out of 5]

“Taken by Tentacles,” by Jesse Snow, yeah well, I’m still trying to figure out why I read this kind of stuff. In a way it likens me to the LCD (less common denominator - and wasn’t that pretentious as hell). The thing is I like HEA and fidelity elements rarely found in books with titles containing the words “tentacles,” and “taken,” in close proximity. “Release the Kraken,” yeah that sounds about right—love—not so much. And as much as I’m a sucker for the big love story, I still read these raunchy lusty books. Maybe it’s the titillation or I’m over thinking the self-analysis portion of this review. Or really, maybe a review is not the best place for introspection. What can I say, other than I paid $2.99 for part 2 and read it right off. Whatever jaded part of me is comforted with the thought that true love is an illusion is still waiting with bated breath for part three. So, eff-it—whatever.

Erotica featuring a tentacled being is bound to be kinky.

This specific work is even kinkier than expected and adds another element that I cannot spoil for you but that I feel is redundant.
The psychological twists are too stretched to be believable but writing is really not bad.

Unfortunately the author has taken the usual annoying decision of cutting a short story into three very short parts, offering the first as a freebie and the others at too high a price. It feels like a total rip-off and, although I am interested in seeing how the story ends, I will not be purchasing it at these conditions.

[Jessica West · Rating 1 out of 5]

Another chopped up story

I rarely rate a book with anything but 4 or 5 stars, but when I stumble across 'books' like this one, I want to warn others. The content didn't bother me (I'm a fan if Clive Barker, there are few lines in fiction I won't cross). And this work was actually well written and edited. My only complaint is that it's not a complete book. I am familiar with short forms, this isn't that. It's a piece of a book meant to entice readers to buy more. This author is good enough that I'd have bought and read more of her works had she (or her publisher) not resorted to this sales tactic. I get it, I really do. I just don't like it.

[Janell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Imaginative and decadent. I wonder which hoary (and depraved) dimension the octopus came from, or will it ever be revealed? Even as a shortie, this was a tight read with attention-grabbing characters and events. The doc is so twisted, taking advantage of poor Liam. I found myself unashamedly looking forward to the next clinical "collection" session. I can't wait to see where this story goes.

[Kelly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Taken by Tentacles 1 is for people who...

...enjoy a little guy-on-giant octopus action...
...and a little guy on guy action.
...don't mind m-preg.
...like their tentacles frisky.

Male pregnancy is always wildly entertaining to me. Even more so when it's a giant octopus doing the impregnating, it seems. So... YAY!

[Zee · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not sure what I expected, but this story was a little too rape-happy for my tastes, and more seriously written than I expected. I would have prefered more action and less plot. Also a physical description of the main character would have been convenient, like who is Liam, is he 20 or 50, what's his race, what's he look like? All the description I got was that he was muscled and doesn't like shirts. Not very helpful.

[Mary · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok. Being my first tentacle book...my first Jessie Snow... The writing was good...I do not think it was supposed to be funny though...laughed out loud. ...I have read zombies to scifi to Star Trek to horror to shifters be it bears cats or werewolfs but this was the first and only time about octopusy not sure of the plural spelling

June 17: Oops, I read it again. Thought the story sounded familiar.

Serial fiction.
MPREG.
Dub con (at best).
3 reasons (if you need any) why I won't be buying the next book. (Not that I bought this one. Kindle freebie.)
