3.5 Stars for this dirty little collection.
These 9 little stories went pretty quick. Each story was a very short novella by 9 different authors that had some sort of taboo aspect of it. Such taboo content as student/teacher, step-dad/step-daughter, step-siblings, bdsm-type punishment by a group, etc.
My favorite was by far about a ménage story with twin brothers & secrets in Volatile Confessions by Alexia Purdy. I loved this little story and can't wait to read more about these twins! The secrets they have really got my curiosity up to read this entire novel.
I got a really good laugh at the end of The Billionaire's Stepdaughter. I would like to get some therapy like Rick gave Loraine in the sexy little novella In Too Deep. And who could forget Dara's ending on Valentines Day.
So pick this little collection up. For only $0.99 it's a steal!
This was a good anthology with stories of taboo relationships and actions!
The Billionaire's Stepdaughter by Ginger Singh
Everett, 19 years old, wants her mother's new husband and will do anything to flaunt her body in front of him, making him want her. Daniel, 29 years old, is married to Everett's mother Grace, 39 years old and really wants Everett. He tries turning to Grace to get his sexual tension out but it doesn't seem to be working.
Will Everett get what she wants from Daniel and will Grace find out?
This was a cliffhanger book so don't except to get the ending in here. To be honest when I read the age gaps between everyone I really wasn't surprised that an affair would happen and I think Grace must really be something to be on her 5th marriage at 39 years old. I didn't feel to bad for Grace although I am definitely curious to see where the story leads.
A Taboo Lesson by S.M. Donald
Chrissy Moody is working in Banff as a housekeeper at The Big House. She enjoys her little fetish of getting off to people's private pictures when she is caught by a guest.
But this isn't any ordinary guest. Even though they have both figured out their link to one another, the guest sets out to punish Chrissy for snooping in his things. Chrissy gets more than she bargained for with the guest and his friends but she also never thought she'd enjoy it as much as she did.
I thought it was funny that Chrissy got caught but in a way I was surprised that the guest went as far as he did knowing who she was. Chrissy was keeping so many secrets from everyone around her that I wasn't surprised that she was being blackmailed!
Volatile Confessions by Alexia Purdy
Hannah Walters works as a stripper at the strip club Volatile. She is extremely succesful but one day her pasts walks back into her life.
Grant Sully who went to middle school with Hannah offers her money to sleep with his identical twin Thomas, but when she realizes they used to pretend to be each other she doesn't know which brother she has a past with.
Yet there are mysteries to the past that Hannah needs to find out before it's too late.
Warning - this is a cliffhanger!! There are so many questions that I need answered and so much mystery surrounding the past of Hannah and the Sully brothers. I can't say I liked the relationship of the three as I need more resolved although I do like Hannah. I don't trust Grant but I am not sure about how I feel about Thomas yet.
Between Lines by M.J. Lovewyn

After one night together Alex believes he has found his future.
But Riley is holding some secrets pretty close to her and when Alex discovers the truth he tries to break it off but Riley is holding the upper hand, and isn't willing to let go.
I really enjoyed this book as there were some definite surprises! I really liked Alex and understood what went wrong with Janice and why he really wanted to find love with Riley. Riley was awesome as she went for what she wanted and never held anything back, although she was quite manipulative. The ending definitely made me laugh at how resourceful Riley is!
St.Charles at Dusk by Sarah M. Cradit

This is a story about the secrets that families hold and the actions people to do to protect those they love. I really enjoyed this book and the love that the two shared even though there were so many things working against them. As the book progressed I really enjoyed learning about all of the secrets that were kept from people in a way to protect them.
Both Adrienne and Oz had so much heartache but they still had so much love for each other through it all.
