4.5 stars!! This was a very sexy collection of 4 short stories involving 4 different couples and situations. All of the stories were amazing but I think Caged was my favorite.

I hadn't recover properly from her latest release and I was about to dig into another book from her.
Should I say that I was scared? Afraid? Anxious? Well I'll say yes to all because it was the truth. But it was so good to read another book from her.
Like you have already known Stephie Walls has an intense, heartfelt, amazing and simple writting that will make you laugh, cry, scream, curse, you name it. But you will love every single book that she has written and will continue to write.
Strangers is her latest release and Jesus.
This book is composed by 4 different short stories, about first encounters, that will make you blush and something else.
I'm not going to be telling you all about the stories so I advise you to start reading now and find out why I liked it so much.
I'm sad because I wanted to keep reading about the characters but I'm so happy for the chance to read this.
That being said Stephie what is that brilliant mind of yours creating?
How long will it take for me to get my claws on it? Not to long, I hope...

What a treat for the senses!
This collection of erotic short stories had a little bit of everything for every kinky taste.
Each one offered a unique and edgy take on sex with a stranger!
Well written, and fast paced, even though they were short, they felt like complete stories.
This is a perfect summer read for the beach! (or anyplace, any season)

Favorite Quotes:
Deuce:
“It’s a good thing you’ve got a big personality, because that’s the only thing that could make up for that tiny penis you’re sporting.”
“There is something every woman should know about a Harley, when you’re straddling the seat, pressed, even slightly, against the gas tank, and there’s a gorgeous guy behind you, all of a sudden every bounce, every vibration, every bump in the damn road becomes erotic.”
“I barely know this man and I’d sell my soul to the devil to have his hands on me daily.”
Flight:
“I don’t know what to do with this kind of attention. I’m socially awkward, at best. I do really well in business settings, but when it comes to matters of the heart, the words, ‘epic failure’ come to mind.”
“I wanted to wait for him, continue talking to him, when I realize, I don’t even know his name and he never asked mine. I’m such a daft cow. Bloody hell. Here I am thinking there’s some beautiful connection to this stranger I met by happenstance on a plane when in actuality, he was just being nice effectively making the time fly by.”
“Needing that connection, just holding my hand, was more intimate to me that what we had just done.”
“He watches my eyes intently for what seems an eternity, searching them, for what I’m not sure but when he finds what he’s looking for, the corners of his mouth turn up in a delicious smile.”
“Everything about him produces an almost out-of-body experience I never want to recover from.”
Caged:
“I don’t want to do time for strangling her, but if we are stuck in here together long enough, it might come to that to save my sanity.”
“The anger had dissipated and I can acknowledge when her mouth is shut just what a striking woman she is.”
“It’s easier to be a bitch and have people leave you alone than to allow anyone to get close enough to see the cracks.”
Traffic:
“Men flock to me, but sadly, it always seems to be the wrong men.”
“I just want to exist in the moment. For once in my life, I just want to experience the here and now, even if I regret it in the morning. I may be reading too much into this, but there’s only one way to find out.”
“Damn, if there is an imperfection on this man, I can’t find it. It’s unfair really.”
“I feel at ease with him, able to laugh and enjoy life, a feeling I’ve not known since I was a child and definitely never with a man.”
My Review:
Strangers is a grouping of 4 steamy short stories by Stephie Walls, a new to me author that I would like to see more from. Each story involves chance meetings by couples who either are strangers or don’t know each other well. Their meetings are under less than stellar circumstances and lead to unexpected encounters and assignations that are not the usual behavior of those involved (as they all considered themselves “good girls”) and aren’t expected to be anything more than a one-off. Each vignette is quite erotic and of course, the best sex ever had by either person, which thankfully, leads to much more than the one night adventure they started off expecting. Each tale is quick, entertaining, titillating and naughty, and results in my highly desired HEA.

Strangers is the compilation of four short stories: Deuce, Flight, Caged, and Traffic, and OHMYWORD! Strangers is HOT! The writing is not what a newer fan would expect from Stephie Walls. Her more recent works are steamy, but include fantastic messages. These short stories are pure, unadulterated carnality, but that's definitely not a bad thing! (Edited to add: While reading my notes and highlights for this review the messages in each story were crystal clear. They're simply not as obvious, but still there!) In true short story style, the stories are fast paced, but enjoyable. In each section there's enough background information to make the characters come to life. This author has a gift for creating vivid imagery using minimal description. Like in Deuce where Alex describes her boss as "a middle-aged, balding man with a potbelly and khakis that are an inch too short." Keeping it simple, but you can clearly see the man standing in front of her. While each entry is enjoyable, combining heat, emotions, and humor, my personal favorite was Traffic. It involves the journey Shelby takes, with her cat and her car, to escape the path of a storm. Along the way she meets Mason and....since I don't do spoilers here's an edited quote: “I’m sorry. It’s just been a rough couple of days...I just needed a good cry…or chocolate. Since I have no chocolate, crying was the only viable option.” Insta-love in books can be amazing, or a total mess, but Stephie Walls handles the emotional aspect amazingly, realistically well, "This man doesn’t love me, but he values me enough to provide me with some of the most soul-touching ecstasy I’ve ever felt—an intimate exploration of myself." Ain't that the truth! And Stephie Walls does truth better than anyone!

Strangers by Author Stephie Walls is a collection of tantalizing short stories.
“Where’re we heading?” he asks. “Down the road. You on a timetable?” “Nah, sweetheart. You’ve got me as long as you want me. You’re in control.”
I love reading books written by Stephie Walls. Although Strangers was a slight departure from her full-length novels, it still represented her unique style of writing that always makes me ache for more.
"With my head on his shoulder, he makes love to my mouth while his cock speaks of lust to my center. The two areas conversing in a language they both perfectly understand: give and take, push and pull, grinding together in tandem in an effort to reach that peak. He never eases up; his steady pace increases as we both near the finish line."
Each of these short stories had an interesting and attention-getting storyline. The characters were super easy to fall for, and the insta-love sucked me right in. There was heat for days, like the Florida sun in summer, it burned bright with lasting effects. Erotic by nature, these relationships went from zero to let-me-take-you-home-and bang-your-brains-out in no time. But, in true Stephie Walls fashion, she also gave the characters a gentle and caring side that made my heart melt and fall with theirs.
"Sweet sex is nice, but I crave something deeper, I need something more. If this is only going to be a one-night event, I want to feel it for days after. Every time I take a step, every time I sit, every move I make, I want to remember him taking me, controlling me, dominating me."
Strangers offered quick and tasty bites of love and lust in the fast lane, with endings that made me applause.
"This isn’t about love; it’s unadulterated lust, and by the gleam in her eyes, it’s mutual."

Four sensual and deliciously erotic stories that will leave you with stars in your eyes.
Stephie Walls has become one of my top read authors. She totally got me hooked on her books when I read Bound and Freed and from that moment on, I knew I had to keep reading her books because they're addicting.
These four stories were short but they felt like nice long length stories. I was bummed when I finished because I wanted more. I was hooked and fascinated with these stories and the characters.
They were definitely quick reads and will totally leave you panting when you're done reading each story.
Strangers gets 5 stars

Just like the blurb says, "A collection of short stories: four couples, one day, twenty-four passionate hours." These short stories were sexy and to the point, loved every single one, but I think Caged was my fave, it was hot but had a great story.
I've read a few short stories by Stephie Walls and honestly I don't know how she does it, they usually leave me unfulfilled, but Stephie has a way of wrapping them up with a bow like you just read a full length novel.
Not much else to say, other than you won't be disappointed with these 4 short stories, it's definitely worth the read!

Quick read
This was a quick read for me. But that by no means says that I didn't enjoy it. This was the first time I read any erotica by Walls, and I will say each of the stories were good. Each couple had differences to their story, and I liked that. It was nice to have an actual story behind the couple, and not just have them finding one another and having sex.
I would definitely recommend this for a reader that is looking for erotica, but also wants there to be done depth to the stories.

I have grown to love Stephie's writing over the last couple of years. When I was given the ARC I was excited to jump in. The four short stories were fun, light and sexy! Some ended with a happily ever after and others were open ended. I appreciated the characters connections, different ages in each story, and different levels of kink the couples brought. My favorite in this collection is Deuce. I loved the spaghetti scene!
July 1, 2017
I really enjoyed this book! It was my first multi-story novel and I enjoyed every minute! Hot and steamy, cute and quirky.
I loved the fact that it was four separate stories together in the same book. It reminded me of those movies, Valentine's Day and New Years Eve. All the stories were different but had a great feel that melded perfectly.

This book is HOT!!! I enjoyed each of the stories and how different they were. Each story left me wanting more but also completely fulfilled as the story was complete. Thanks Stephie for melting my kindle with this one.

I loved all 4 short stories. The stories were short but hot. The endings ranged from a glimpse into the far future to a "fade to black" kind of ending.
Brother's best friend…
Strangers on a plane…
Realtor and the brat…
Mother Nature…
This was the perfect romance variety pack!

Wow the steamier side of Stephie really comes out to play in these 4 short stories, stories that may be small but they are mighty. These are so different to stephies usual work but still really enjoyable. Would love to see these turn into full length works.

I really enjoyed the four short stories in Stephie Walls' Strangers!
The stories are not connected and don't have to read in order! Each story has a great plot with a couple twists!
A great quick read!

This is a collection of four short stories. Each of them are very erotic and very well written. Every story left me wanting more, which is a good thing. Although all the stories were similar, they were also very different and I enjoyed them all.
July 12, 2019
I literally finished this in 5 hours, I couldn’t put it down. It was that GOOD!
It’s awfully hot in here, though, woo. I could definitely use a cooling down or fan after reading that!
I’m hoping Stephie has written more as she is now up there with one of my fave erotic/romance authors!

This really wasn't my thing. I enjoy everything Stephie Walls has written but the whole short story thing isn't for me. I got attached to the characters and wanted more. :( The writing is great and the stories were HOT! I just wanted more and wasn't ready for them to end. This was my first time reading a collection of short stories; I will say out of the four my favorite was Deuce!
