What I would give to roam around Octavia’s brain for a day!! The way she comes up with these outrageously original stories is chefs kiss!!
There were a few questions I was left with at the end of the story otherwise this would’ve been 5 stars!!
Erotic element 10/10
Messiness 10/10
Definitely recommend this one! But as with all Octavia books, read at your own risk

Just Nasty
Ms. Octavia your mind is a wild place 😳. I'm in awe at how you tied all these nasty people together. This book was a psa for the importance of wearing condoms cause those folks were fking anything that moved. Nasty sums it up.

Title fits book perfectly!
I don’t know why I always act shocked when it comes to Octavia, as I expect nothing less than wildness & insanity. This book was definitely “nasty” so it has the perfect title! I laughed every time I saw Pastor Margaret’s name! Good short erotica read, with secrets, lies & deception interwoven between almost every character.

Nasty!!
The title truly speaks for itself. Short tales that will keep you engaged. I normally don’t read Erotica, but I had to read this one because I love me some Grant! I was pleasantly surprised!

Chile…….Messy and spicy or should I say NASTY 🤣

I am just speechless! Just nasty and messy as hell! I enjoyed every bit of it! 😂😂 However, I want some conclusions to some of these tales. I hope there will be more soon.

This was a well written erotic tale as each story intertwined and introduced new characters. Good connection of characters and read

DISCLAIMER : “Two is company, three is fun” so careful what you fantasize about! When you get “Nasty” you might just get turned out!
I’ve read several books by Octavia Grant and she most definitely has a way of yanking readers into the throes of a passionate sex filled playground. These multilayered stories are PACKED FULL of explicit, kinky, tantalizing sex scenes and gasp out loud, jaw dropping twist! YUP!!! “Nasty” is all that and then some! I mean...I ain’t no smoking chick but this here 🔥🔥🔥QUICKIE had me ready to light up a cigarette!
I highly suggest you 1-CLICK, find a quiet spot and prepare to experience the literary ride of your life.

"The Color of Lust
This tale almost made me come undone. It began with two being company, but three being fun between Melvin, Veronica & Sabrina. With the introduction of a scenario that will come up at some point in most adult relationships- a threesome - is the catalyst to the events that followed. We get to see how many of the characters are connected in a very "nasty" way. The tale evolved from a threesome into an in-law believing she was all someone else needed. The step she took to "tire out" the spouse of her love interest gave me an "oh no she didn't moment". She set out to stake her claim no matter the cost. Thinking that character took the cake, I was quickly corrected by the introduction of a true nympho and "leader" of her flock. "Anal sex was not designed for lovemaking. It was designed for savagery and that is what I needed at the moment." And boy did she have to have it AND get it. Then a young woman who was admittedly vanilla is introduced to the concept that Patricia Used Strong Saliva Yesterday at a Big Black Club. Did you catch that? no? Then you need to pick up this erotic tale.
You'll love that the Author leaves the foreplay to someone else and dives head first (no pun intended...well maybe a little) right into the thick 9, 10 or 12 inches of things. This talented author gave us a relatable and vividly erotic tale that left certain parts tingling. Of course, I can't end without mentioning the technical stuff. You got a little character development, perfect formatting, and solid editing. If you walk away with nothing else, you'll remember what our young vanilla friend said. "This experience taught me that in order to be sexually fulfilled, I had to get nasty."
Enjoy!

I wasn’t sure what I was stepping into, especially after the “Disclamier” but with all of Octavia books…I just start reading and see where I find myself lol.
I really was surprised by this book. There is spice and mess. I was thinking each story would be its own but really they all connected to each other in wild ways *inserts the eye emoji*.
Think of each story as a piece to a puzzle. As you continue to reach each one, you’re going to have a “ahh ha “ moment mixed with a “oh damn” moment. The characters in the books were all making sure their needs were met no matter what.
If you’re looking for a spicy yet intriguing novella I recommend for sure.

OMG
Well the book definitely lived up to its name. The Pastor took me all the way out…no words! I enjoyed how the people from each story were somehow tied to the next. I’ll say Ms. Grant does not lack in creativity and imagination. I cautious after reading Work Husband, but made it to the end without being traumatized.

this collection brings together four women — veronica, margaret, treasure, and mya — who aren’t afraid to take control and push boundaries when it comes to desire.
well this was definitely different than what i’m used to from og. granted, nobody died this time, but it felt like everybody was sleeping with everybody 😂 that’s the “nasty” part if you ask me lol.

Nasty was Delicious
Soooo many ideas are running through my mind. This book is awesome. It's about knowing oneself and being comfortable and confident to embrace one's true self to experience pleasure, lust and love. Exceptional read

Mind blown!
I was not prepared for the events that took place in this read! The way everything unfolded and correlated the characters had my jaw on the floor! I laughed, gasped, screamed, and more while reading 'Nasty'. Octavia strikes again with another great read!

This was hilarious. It was erotic for sure but the story could have easily been called trifling cause every single character was meeesssssyyyyy. I wish some of these stories were turned into a novel cause I need to know what happened to pastor Margret 😂🤣🤯🤯
June 23, 2024
Short and sweet. Nasty as it wanted to be with all the nastiness. lol. I found myself losing who some of the characters were from story to story but, the author sis remind readers of the connections from previous. I really enjoyed it as, I do the other stories of Octavia’s that I have read.
