OBSESSION: Erotica for Those with a Kinky Itch

by Jean Roberta

From the author: When a character with a kinky itch shows up in my own mind – I know I’m seeing the beginning of a story and I have to find out where it leads. The stories in this collection show where my characters have led me:

* What if a lesbian with a taste for older women goes looking for her birth-mother and is shocked to find out what King Oedipus knew? What if she only wants to impress a lesbian literature prof who knows the classics?

* What if a man dreams of finding a truly submissive woman, but when she appears like a gift from the heavens, he feels as if he is trapped in a nightmare?

* What if a person of any gender or sexual orientation wants to find the perfect companion, for a night or a lifetime, and finds one who is not exactly human?

* What if curiosity or compassion or a desperate need for cash leads a sensible-enough person to take unusual risks?

Be warned; not all of these stories end happily. The road to pleasure or love or admiration or material comfort is paved with danger. Some of these stories have old roots in myth and folklore, but none of them carries the old message that women’s sexuality is a source of evil, or that strong men are born to rule the world."

Reviews

[Corrie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Obsession, my fall-back Friday read by Jean Roberta, is an anthology of erotic tales, published by Eternal Press in 2008.

Erotic short stories are a perfect between books read and I know that with Jean Roberta you always get quality stories. This was a mixed bag, lesbian, bi, gay and hetero. This is certainly not porn without plot, the stories were really good.

f/f, m/f, m/m

Themes: hanky panky, spanky and sometimes kinky.

Fourteen short stories – Each one distinctly different and each one enticing in its own way, there is only one common thread through all of these stories – Sex, lots and lots of sex...
