Hot Minutes: At the Club

Rate this book
Moody lighting, intimate corners and pulsing magnetic energy is what makes a club the place to be for a hot night. Your invited to four different club experiences where secrets are kept and nothing is off limits. Have a hot minute? Drop in on these sexy shorts from Alyssa Turner, Kate Briggs, Gwen Dylan and Stacey Wallace.

The Sparrow – Marielle is not accustomed to letting her hair down. A law student in Paris and daughter of a wealthy French businessman, she spends most days living up to an impossible standard. Alex knows the best thing for her just might be a night at his BDSM club and the firm grip of his fist wrapped around that ever-present ponytail. It’s time he introduces her to the life he’s imagined for both of them. This standalone story by Alyssa Turner features characters from her Unmatched Series.

Three, Becoming a Third – Drew has a fantasy, and his wife Abby knows how amazing it would be to help him fulfill it. She figures a swingers club is the best place to start for her bi-curious husband, only neither of them has a clue how to find the third they’re looking for. When Z sees them floundering, it’s his mission to help. He’s an owner after all and ensuring everyone has a good time is his responsibility. In fact… he’ll see to it personally. By Kate Briggs.

Under the Covers – Dane is leaving town, but not without one last shot at joining Madame West’s harem. He’s loved her for years and it’s now or never, even if now means just one night. First, he needs and invite, or does he? What would happen if simply crashed the party? It’s anyone’s guess if he’ll leave empty handed or finally find himself at the center of the action for a chance to show Summer West how he really feels. Under the Covers is connected to the series of the same name by Gwen Dylan.

The First Time – Casey and Bobby have been set up so many ways they can’t even count. When her sister tries once more, Casey decides she can at least have a good time. A few shots and a little dancing should do the trick. She didn’t think Bobby was her type, but maybe he has a few moves she didn’t see coming. His sexy friend Kellan has some useful intel on the matter, straight from his private room. First impressions can be deceiving. By Stacey Wallace.

Note: The stories told in this anthology are all unapologetic explorations of desire with the kind of colorful storytelling that brings characters to life. At the club, finding a happily ever after ending is not always the motivation for going. The same goes for this anthology, though each story contains romantic elements. Have fun meeting these characters and visiting each club along with them, and remember... what happens at the club, stays at the club.

Deliciously Dirty

This collection is created from four fantastic short stories. Each is very HOT! Dirty and delicious! 🔥💥🎉

Alyssa Turner is the only author I was familiar with before this but I will be looking all of them up in the future. 💜🔥💜🔥💜

I loved all of these stories. They will require listening to again... and again! 😍

The various narrators, including B.J. Hunter, Bea Kay, Bo Devery, Cecily Foster, Jaxon Stark, Rachel Music, Stephen Ridgewood, were fantastic.

Narration: 5 stars


Book 1: The First Time by Stacey Wallace- 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Woo-wee!! Stacey is a new-to-me author and worth checking out if her other works have anywhere close to the heat and chemistry levels that this short provided. That was quite the blind-ish date! Bobby and Casey have meddling friends who continue to try to set them up. A bad event leads to a change of scenery and some very new and very tantalizing experiences with Kellan. I thoroughly enjoyed this. The only thing I'd change is the length. Longer would've been nice. 😘🔥🔥💥


Book 2: The Sparrow by Alyssa Turner - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - New Experiences at Club Duvall
Mmm... Marielle and Alex have been familiar to each other for some time but the experience they share is exciting and new... and open to viewing eyes. I enjoyed this short that packed a lot into a few pages.

They aren't new characters for Alyssa but this story is. Club Duvall and it's "Kings" are also included or mentioned but there isn't any sharing. A very titillating tale. 😍🔥🎉


Book 3: Three, Becoming a Third by Kate Briggs - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This playground isn't where parents take their kids. This is THE Playground where couples go to mix and mingle. Emphasis on mix. Abby takes Drew so they can live out a fantasy of his. They didn't expect Z nor he them. So hot! This story NEEDS to be extended into a novella, at the minimum. I need so much more of this trio! 💜🔥💜


Book 4: Under the Covers by Gwen Dylan - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Dane invites himself to the door of Madame West. Summer is an older woman who has created a place for fantasies to come to life, Scandal, and Dane has yearned for time with her, with or without others. It is surprising, erotic, and sensual. Loved it!


UPDATED 3/2022: The Sparrow by Alyssa Turner
I listened to this story again as I (re-)read the related series in preparation for a third book, Uncontested, in the Unmatched series. Very, very naughty. Mmm.... 🔥🎧🔥🎧🔥

Four Fantastic Short Stories

I both listened to and heard this book, and let me just say, this audiobook was amazing. The narrators were fantastic with their pacing and elocution of the stories. I especially loved Alyssa Turner’s story, The Sparrow - the narrators who voiced Marielle and Alex had light Parisian French accents, making this story even more interesting to listen to. Both The First Time and Three, Becoming a Third had the same theme of a third person joining a couple - in The First Time, phew, is Killian steamy, however I would love to see more of the threesome in Three, Becoming a Third. The final story, Under the Covers, is a rollercoaster ride, steamy start to what promises to be an intriguing series. I highly recommend this book, and I especially recommend the audio!

The first book in this four course delight is The First Time by Stacey Wallace. After being set up on yet another date by their friends, Casey and Bobby decide to ditch the opera and hit the club scene. Their night of dancing and drinking turns into a sexy friends to lovers threesome when Bobby’s friend Kellan joins in the fun! This naughty MMF menage treat is well written and hot as hades! I absolutely loved the way the guys interacted with Casey and really concentrated on making her feel special by putting her pleasure first. Hot goodness at it’s best and sure to please! I know it pleased me!

Part two of this delightful repast is The Sparrow by Alyssa Turner. Marielle, always in control, always holding herself to a standard that few could achieve. Alex, part owner of Club Duval and a dominant, has known Marielle for two years. They are friendly, but he wants more. He longs to show her what life with him could be. This story was so beautifully written, so sensual! The dialogue between Alex and Marielle was so seductive, so engaging, so alluring, and so perfect! As hot as this story was, and oh my it was HOT, it was so much more! This was a story about love, trust, and finding your forever. The Sparrow warmed my heart, and warmed my soul!

Part three of this decadent buffet is fittingly called Becoming a Third, by Kate Briggs. Abby wants nothing more than to help her bi-curious husband Drew fulfill a long held fantasy. So, for his birthday, she brings him to a Swingers Club! Z, a Dom and one of the club owners is just the man to guide them through a hot, naughty, MMF maiden voyage! Beautifully written, this story was a scorcher! As strange as it may sound, it was also very sweet and very touching. The author successfully navigated a tightrope in writing this one! The love and respect that that Abby and Drew had for one another came through loud and clear. Abby wanted nothing more than for Drew to have his fantasy fulfilled, and Drew wanted nothing to hurt Abby in any way. Z, as a Dom and club owner was determined to keep everything professional. Abby and Drew’s love, and their relationship, was respected and honored at all times by Z, even though it was clear that he was attracted to, and wanted them both very much. And, to put the cherry on the sundae, there was no lack of heat! No easy feat I’m sure, but accomplished it was, and successfully so!

And now for dessert, Under the Covers by Gwen Dylan. Dane, Dane, Dane. Seems he’s going to crash a private party, in a playroom at Scandal, a very private, very exclusive Ladies Club. The playroom in question belongs to Madame West aka Summer, older, gorgeous, sexy, Summer. Dane’s savior who he’s wanted for nearly five years. Can Dane deliver the goods? Far be it from me to play spoiler. You’ll have to read this luscious, forbidden, polyamorous play date for yourself! Well written and hot, hot, hot, this one will keep you warm and then warm your heart and your soul with an ending that I did not see coming!

These four stories were most certainly a satisfying buffet of hot, delicious goodness! I loved every single one! This is a five star collection that will be read over and over again! I absolutely loved it!

I enjoyed all the short stories, but what drew me to the book was the short from Alyssa Turner. Which of her readers haven't wondered about the history between Alex and Marrielle. I loved this story and left me wanting more. I have so many questions about what happened and how these two find their way back to each other.

The Sparrow - Alyssa Turner

Alexander and Marielle take their friendship to a new level as he brings her to his club for a night of bliss.

Can Marielle adapt to his lifestyle as a Dom? Does she want to take their friendship further and explore the things that might make her see herself in a new light?

Alyssa Turner makes her characters shine in every book she writes. The heat and chemistry is always sizzling the pages and this short story is no different!

Hot! I loved these stories. They were short and fast-paced. Well written and several left me wanting more. Spicy hot! I actually listened to the audiobook. I loved the narrators though I had a little trouble with The Sparrow due to the accents! Loved them though!
