About the author

Ava is a passionate reader, blogger, publisher, and author who loves nothing more than helping other Indie authors publish their books be that reviewing, beta reading, formatting or proofreading. She will always be a reader first and foremost.

She loves erotic suspense that's well written and engages the reader, and loves promoting the heck out of it for her favourite authors.

As Ava says: “I took a chance and followed a dream when I wrote my first book. It was scary, challenging and hard work, but above all it was worth it.”

Being an erotic author doesn't mean your life is full of action or passionate encounters. This short book tell us about the day dreaming of Alice. Her life has nothing special but when her mind starts working incredible things happens.

Imagination is the main character. The fantasy is really good, hot and sexy. I love when reality hits and real life comes back :) Really funny.

Overall, this is a funny, short and entertaining story.

Short

I'm going to start with what I didn't like about this story. I didn't like how short it was. As part of a full sized book, it would be great. As a scene by itself it left me wanting. As it stands, it was well written and intriguing although the first massage scene fell a little flat for me.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS SHORT STORY IT WAS WITTY AND MADE ME LOL ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT. A VERY STEAMY MASSAGE AND A MASSAGE FROM HELL. IT MADE ME NEED A COLD SHOWER AFTER READING AND THINK ABOUT BOOKING MYSELF IN FOR A MASSAGE. WELL WRITTEN. GREAT AUTHOR.

Very short but very funny and sensual short. I'd love a massage like this one. Great little read.

Yet another author attempting to turn out short books to take advantage of kindle unlimited no doubt. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't complete drivel.

Don't waste your money - it's not even worth a kindle unlimited punt.

I should have been warned fby the utterly shit synopsis. The author brags she's a blogger - she should stick to blogging and let authors with talent write books

Lovely little pick me up book, like enjoying your first strawberry cream at Christmas. Second in series. The premise of the non-erotic Alice who writes it and how she imagines her usual life through the eyes of the writer. Fantastic. I love the whole premise and hope to see a lot more of Alice (in a book way, though I suppose there'll be the other too, haha.)

A steamy and highly enjoyable short story featuring two versions of a visit for a massage. I know which one I'd prefer! I smirked, snorted and fanned myself to cool off - pretty good going fir a quick read. Looking forward to reading more.

Another great short read. After suffering in the gym, Alice decides to book in for a massage. Her thoughts soon run away from her as she imagines and writes a hot little scene involving a male masseuse. A great short read for when you have a half hour break.

A great short read. Steamy and funny.
If you have twenty minutes, this is a great book to pick up

Great way to introduce you to the author. Shows she is good at erotica but also comedy. Will be reading more from her

[K.M. Lowe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quick, fun, very short story...all about Alice and her massage.

[Kathy Rouchelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

When I began reading this book, I really liked it, but then it lost me. The writing was well done and the storyline was cute and funny, but it still lost me and I don't exactly know why, so let's just chalk it up to being a ME THING, because not every book will satisfy every reader. However I think that many would enjoy this short read with some pretty hot encounters and enjoyable characters.

[Barbara · Rating 4 out of 5]

3 1/2 Stars for me - This short story is, as the title suggests, about erotic author Alice and her zany, erotic adventures. While gathering information for her writing (and maybe for the sake of getting back out there too) Alice takes you through ordinary everyday scenes but through the eyes of a middle aged, newly divorced erotic author. The book is entertaining to say the least. If you are looking for a quick, zany read this book is it.

[Yvonne Eason · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was not sure what to expect when I picked up this book. However, what I found was some giggles, furrowed brows and a thoroughly enjoyable read.

it is short stories which made it easy to read and didn't feel like it was going to take me a long time to get through it.

I found Alice funny Nd it was good to see how authors come up with some ideas about their books.

3 Stars!!!

I was given this book in turn for an honest review.

Join Alice as she takes us on a journey into her erotic mind, and her unerotic life.

Alice for me is an array of short stories; some the life of Alice, and some inside her mind as a writer. Ava Manello has a wonderful imagination and a talent for bringing fantasy and reality to life. Her quality of writing is outstanding.

Although I myself couldn’t relate to Alice, I did find her personality an experience in itself. She has a great sense of humour, and speaks her mind without reservation. I often found myself chuckling along with her misadventures and reality she lived in.

I think this book would have been more enjoyable for me if the author had either split this novella into short stories with a little more depth or into a novel with more depth and character development. I found the chapters did not flow easily from one to the next and because of this it did not fully hold my attention. This is my own personal preference and in no way, reflects on the authors writing.

This is the first book of Ava Manello's I have read, and although this book didn't tick all my boxes, I definitely want to explore more of her books.

This book is ideal for a holiday read and those looking for short erotic adventures with added humour.
