Being Naughty: The Life & Times of an Erotica Novelist
Book One (blog posts from July 1, 2008 - February 17, 2009)
Laura Stamps is not your average erotica novelist. She's an exhibitionist, voyeur, lust addict, hedonist, and sensualist. Basically, she's a kinky slut with a trashy mouth and mind. In fact she's just like the heroine in an erotica novel. So it should come as no surprise Laura also writes a wildly popular, verrrry naughty blog every week. Her memoirs are made up of posts from this lusty blog.
If you love Laura's sexy erotica novels then you're going to love her "Memoir Series." The books in this series are irreverent, hysterically funny, and X-rated with one sizzling sex scene after another. Yeah, all the same HOT stuff you'll find in her novels. Only this is real life with Laura starring as the heroine and her Alpha husband Wes as the hero. Uh-oh. *exhibitionist grin*

Oh this is so much fun, but not meant to be read in all one sitting, because you may suffer from sexual overload! I would advise reading this like one of those page-a-day calendars--a naughty tidbit or two to jumpstart your day. Being Naughty is a compilation of posts (most of them about the author's day-to-day life with her long suffering husband, and most of them very frank about their love life) taken from her 'naughty author blog' during 2008-2009. Laura writes in an easy, relatable, witty style, as if she's talking to you, the reader. Nothing is off-limits. Some of it borders on X-rated. You get the good, the bad, and the (often) hilarious. Most of it is stories revolving around her relationship with her husband, whether she talks about their sexual escapades (and how she is often the aggressor in their relationship), his health (and how it affects their love life), her shopping for products to enhance their sex life, and how she keeps their marriage fun and interesting. It's not all hearts and flowers with 'Wes', but somehow (with Laura's sunny optimism), they make it work. 4 1/2 stars

"Being Naughty" is Laura Stamps memoir. Very interesting read. Kind of hard not to be sexually excited when reading her books. But not only do you get "excited" because of her blogs, you also learn things. Now I may or may not have learned this in school. Maybe I cut class that day or just wasn't paying attention. I've learned about a drug back in the 50's that was given to pregnant women to help them not miscarry (as told by Laura) and with this drug, she's suffered many side effects. One including the location and sensitivity of her G-spot.
Even though she writes erotica, she still researches to learn new sexual techniques. She even bought a book called "Tickle His Pickle: Your Hands-on Guide to Penis Pleasing" by Dr. Sadie Allison. I guess her motto goes "With practice makes perfect". She also mentions a perfume called "Realm for Woman" that has human sex pheromones that make men crazy. This lady loves her husband and loves sex so much that nothing is off-limits to make sex more interesting and more fun.

This is terrible. Excruciatingly, teeth-grindingly bad. It only got one star because zero isn't allowed.
It purports to be written by a sexually sophisticated mature woman, but it reads like a naive 14 year old virgin, desperately anxious to make her school friends believe she's a woman of the world.
Far too much of the book consists of hypothetical questions, parenthetical asides (presumably intended to be humorous, but failing miserably) and randomly capitalised words and exclamations.
To illustrate how annoying this can be, after writing the review in draft, I decided to insert some extra italicised comments to make the review match the style of the book. If you think what I've done is smart or funny, then maybe you're the audience this book is aimed at...
I’ll be honest, I didn’t finish this book. I got about a quarter through it, enjoying it less and less (if you can enjoy something less when you didn't enjoy it from the start), but hoping it would start living up the the 4 and 5 star ratings it has recieved here. (Nope, didn't happen).
My patience finally snapped when I got to this...
This was the final straw for me. Let's just analyse what's going on here:
1. She describes how the word is pronounced. (OK, fair enough, a bit of colour... now move on with the story).
2. Then, in case I’m too dumb to understand words like ‘rolls’ and ‘clips’ she spells it out phonetically. OVERKILL!
3. Then, in case I’m too dumb to understand the word ‘no’ she gives me four definitions of the meaning. (Good Grief. "No" is in the vocabulary of most two years olds.) INSULTED
4. Then, hey, there hasn’t been a rhetorical question in the last few sentences. Better throw one in. WOWZA!
5. Then the self-congratulatory capitalised ‘ROFL’. I mean, really? The preceding few sentences are deserving of rolling on the floor laughing? GOTCHA!
Don’t get me wrong – I’m not a humourless jerk (No, really I'm not). Some things have literally made me ROFL. Things like most of Tom Sharpe’s early work. How good are books like 'Riotus Assembly' and 'Wilt'? Things like the best episodes of ‘Modern Family’ if you want a more recent example… but this tripe? Do me a favour. (Not a literal request, just a figure of speech).
You're probably thinking I'm way over-analysing such a small excerpt – and maybe I am - but think of it as the culmination of my frustration and annoyance that I’ve wasted a few hours of my life in the company of this banal drivel. DOWNER!
I can only assume the 5 star ratings are from friends and family of the author, or people who believe "It was amazing" applies to amazingly bad writing just as much as amazingly good work (Loads of 4 and 5 start ratings, but only two of those took enough time to make any comment on the book).
If anyone's got a Kindle and wants to experience this authors work 1st hand drop me your details and you can have this completely free. YAY!

“Instead he rolls the first letter and clips the last one really short, kinda like ‘Nnnnnnnnno’. Translation? Nada/Never/Forget It/Don’t bring this up again anytime soon. Totally Uber isn’t it? ROFL”
