2 stars for REDIAL 1-800-SEX4YOU by Chris Tanglen & Michele Bardsley.

Story Brief:

Drae hasn't had a date in ages. Kevin's wife died of cancer 3 years earlier and he hasn't been with another woman since. Their friends set them up with the Sex4You place, where they would have anonymous sex with a compatible stranger. Each person pays a fee for the evening. Drae and Kevin meet for the first time in the room assigned to them for the night.

Reviewer's Opinion:

I liked the characters and their back stories. I liked their night together at the Sex4You place. But, I did not like the writing style. Drae tells her view of the first 10 minutes. Then Kevin tells his view of those same 10 minutes plus the next 5 minutes. He contradicts some of her statements. Then Drae talks about those 5 minutes, disagreeing with Kevin again. This back and forth narration continues throughout the story and causes uninteresting repetition and interruption of the evening. If the authors had stuck with traditional storytelling I would have given this more stars.

Data:

Story length: 50 pages. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scene pages: more than 50%. Setting: current day. Copyright: 2005. Genre: erotic contemporary romance.

2 stars for 1-800-SEX4YOU by Chris Tanglen & Michele Bardsley.

Story Brief:

Derek owns a PR firm. He works long hours with no time for relationships. Therefore, he is a regular customer at the SEX4You place where he pays a fee to have anonymous sex with compatible strangers. The other person also pays a fee. Participants fill out questionnaires and do taped interviews before being matched up. Because he is a regular, they let him see potential female partners. He recognizes Arissa and tells them he wants her for a night. They match them up. Arissa doesn't know the guy is Derek, who is her boss. She was engaged to Jeremy who dumped her in front of everyone at the office a few months earlier. She's been feeling down. Her best friend set her up to go to this place for a night. Arissa is told to wear a hood that covers her eyes for anonymity.

Reviewer's Opinion:

I loved the two characters, how they related and how they interacted during this paid for night of sex. But, I was annoyed with the writing style. See the review above for "Redial 1-800-SEX4YOU," which was done in the same manner. Arissa and Derek tell their versions of events, pointing out inconsistencies with each other's version and being repetitive. The effect was to interrupt the story too much. I would have rated this higher if the authors used a more traditional storytelling style.

Data:

Story length: 46 pages. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scene pages: more than 50%. Setting: current day. Copyright: 2004. Genre: erotic contemporary romance.

1 star for BETTY AND THE BEAST by S. L. Carpenter.

Story Brief:

Betty's father gets drunk and ends up at a castle owned by a beast (formerly a man). He had been cursed by a witch into beast form. Betty went searching for her father. When she arrives at the castle she learns the beast plans to kill the father. She offers to stay with the beast if he will let her father go free. The beast agrees if she stays for one year.

Reviewer's Opinion:

I didn't care for it. This type of bathroom humor and slapstick was not funny for me.

Data:

Story length: 39 pages. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scene pages: 15. Setting: unknown. Copyright: 2004. Genre: erotic fantasy romance.

I really enjoyed this book. It was sexy, and hot!

Deadline was my favorite. Marly Chance has another winner in her short story. It was quite funny and humorous. The interplay between Alexis and Ryan was steamy.
