Rose Caraway is a librarian on a very sexy mission and the library she’s created carries as many diverse stories as any library I’ve ever entered (and I’ve been in a few) but with a twist. All the stories should come with a warning stating that they are dangerously sexy.
This book might only contain 22 stories, but these are the types of stories that all libraries should carry in my book. My favorite book in this library was entitled: Cherries In Season and was written by KD Grace. I’m getting ahead of myself here though, so we shall return to taste some cherries a little later in this review. There were so many awesome stories contained in this library and they all seemed to tap into the various fantasies that I may or may not admit at any given time.
This book of sexy stories begin with an excellent tale from Ms Rachel Kramer Bussel, entitled Book Swap and in no time at all I was immersed in a story that made me wish I was 30,000 miles up in the air and sat next to the hottie that Rachel finds herself seated next too. What happens next had me squirming in my own seat as I read each dangerously erotic word on the page. I”m not going to tell you what happened next, but lets just say that by the end of this short story, I had an itch that seriously needed to be scratched.
When I say that the stories in this library are diverse I mean just that. Take for example, “Three Legs In The Evening” written by Janine Ashbless and set in one of my favorite eras of time, Greek mythology. This is a dark tale of lust and love, with as many twists and turns as a labyrinth.
Then we have the wonderful tale from Tasmin Flowers, “Pow! It’s Shibari Girl” This story played into my love of noir and old detective novels, but with a definite erotic twist. Shibari Girl, is definitely not your average super hero, she is as sexy as she is deviant and I fell in love with her from the moment I was introduced to her.
Vivi and The Magic Man, by Kristina Wright took me to a world that I wished existed and I found myself engrossed in. The sex was awesome, but for me this was more abut the story and the twist. Powerful writing and a whirlwind of symbols brought this story to vivid life in my head and that world has stayed with me since.
Who doesn’t love a perverted fairytale? And there is one in this library courtesy of the words of Emily Bingham. Red Riding Hood will never be the same for me after reading this story. I always thought that Little Red Riding Hood was a devious little devil in disguise and Ms Bingham’s words just confirmed my suspicions.
Full Frontal Neighbor by Lynn Townsend was another story that has stayed in my head since I read it. This is in no way you sexy neighbors get together and have hot sex, there is like all the other stories in this book, so many twists and turns within this story, I found myself engrossed from the very first word to the last.
As I mentioned before though, my absolute favorite of all the stories in this library was Cherries In Season by KD Grace. This is not a complicated story by any means but is so well written it as hard not to fall in love with the characters and their actions. Who hasn’t dreamed of accidentally meeting the man of your dreams, and simply getting lost in an encounter
