This anthology had me laughing, smiling, feeling the love, and sometimes not so loving. I can totally see why each and every short was apart of this Anthology. It was also perfectly named. It touches on the taboo side that everyone has inside of them. I know i do, so when i read something that touches that side i will buy every book by that author. All of these authors touched that spot so what do you think i did? Thats right.
Petition Denied by Alyson Hale.
Anton thought he and his wife Lana were living out their dream. He thought they had a happy marriage, so when he gets papers in the mail it totally blindsides him. He will do whatever it takes to prove that he still loves her.
I loved this one, it was the perfect start to this Anthology. I loved how they were so in love that nothing not even papers would separate them. When Lana finally opens up about her struggles and her wants Anton listens. It was sensual yet beautiful.
Darkness Consumed by Ariel Marie.
Arissa is a hired gun. Who would ever suspect a woman eight? While out looking for her next target she meets Ryland. He is her escape from the craziness of her life. When her secrets catch up with her, will he stay and try to save her? Can a normal man and an assassin make it in a relationship?
This short took a little while to get into it. I felt it was kind of rushed. I did like how Arissa was a total badass. She knew what she wanted and what to offer someone. I felt like she used Ryland but that was her escape.
Excitable by Brittney Coon.
Ember owns one of the most exclusive client lists in town. She brings out the deepest fantasies in everyone who comes to her. When her friend puts her up for an auction. Luca is the one who claims her. What happens when two doms try to play?
This was a very sensual short. Not only did it remind me of that old tv show called the Client List, but i just loved it. I wanted more. This one left me wanting.
Consensual by Cristina Slough.
Michael and Erica live an amazing life. Great kids and an amazing marriage but something is missing. They decide to try and spice up their relationship. Does it help or continue to cause a rift?
I loved this one, its honestly one of my favorite shorts in this book. It's just so real and believable that it makes me think this happens often in marriages.
F*cking Addicted by J.A Kerr.
Keira is addicted to lying and Aiden is addicted sex. They met at a meeting and hit it off. They both have needs to fill and is willing to go into a messed up relationship just to feed themselves.
This one took sometime just getting through it. It was good don't get me wrong the general storyline was good, but it just wasn't something i would normally read.
Forever Promise by J.L. Baldwin.
Elijah and Beatrice are destined to be together forever. She is the Mate, the other half of his Demon soul. But even a man who had been on earth for hundreds of years has secrets that find a way to come out.
This was a cute and loving short. I love how no matter how much Elijah pushed her away she fought for him. She trusted him enough to hear his secrets and judge for herself.
A Strange and Distant Safety by Jennifer Loring.
Taylor has hidden what he truly is from everyone. When a situation happens and brings him face to face with what he truly is, he has no choice but to embrace it.
Wow just wow. I'm not a huge fan of M/M romance but this one got my heart racing. Not only did i enjoy it, but it's kind of a fantasy that i want done to me.
Wicked Games by Lilly James.
Lyle and Ivy are both messed up people. They are perfect for each other. Lyle saved Ivy from the streets only to use her when he wants. They share these wicked games that are perfect for them.
Oh my goodness yes, this short touches my dark soul. That little piece of me that loves the taboo aspect of erotica. The darker the better sometimes.
Affliction by Marie Skye.
Killian and Alegra come from two different families. The families have been at odds with each for a long time. So when Alegra walks into Killian's classroom all bets are off.
This was kind of Romeo and Julietish. Two people from the opposite families feuding but when the meet and start a fling only to have it blown up in their faces. Oh man, i will definitely be looking for more from this author.
Story of Us by ML Rodriguez.
Adelina is a smart woman and already dating someone when Christian comes into her life. Against her better judgement she goes out with him. All it took was three weeks for his secrets to come.
This book left me wanting more. I had so many unanswered questions. It was an amazing short read though. I felt like it was such a romantic fast fall in love read.
Her Mistake by N. Mills.
Jezabelle was just a librarian trying to live a normal life away from all the mistakes her mother made. That was until a mystery biker came into her world and turned it upside down.
Okay lets start i love the name Jezabelle. I love me a good biker story. Whether it's a short or a full length novel. I loved how she works at a library and is a pretty boring woman. She is feisty and has a temper. I wish there was more information on everyone.
Miss X by Quinn.
She has simple rules for herself. If she breaks them it's only for one night. She has a rule of only married men, older marry men. That was until the one man that has her thinking of breaking all the rules.
Yes, this is an amazing short. It spoke to my daddy issues. Yes, i do have a few older men that i would love to help with those issues. I loved how she had simple rules and stuck by them. I do wish this was a full length book because i feel cheated that this is a short.
Killer Dom by S. Valentine.
Reid has fantasies that he takes litteral. He likes his woman timid and easily overpowered. But with Brandy he may have met his match.
I would have to say that i can totally see why this short is in this anthology. It touches a deep dark part of my. The opening to this book sucked me in and wouldn't let me go. I loved how the tables were turned. I loved it.
Another Last Chance by Zack Halford.
What do you do when you are about to lose it all? Well you participate in a fantasy that will eventually help you die on your own terms. That is what Hal anticipated. He was ready to go out on his own terms, but only it all comes crashing down.
I liked this book because it brings fantasy and a way to go on your terms. It was kind of beautiful actually, well it was until well I'm not going to say. This book held betrayal, love, loss, and having it all till it all comes crashing down.

Fourteen Shades of F*cked Up: An Anthology – Various Authors
4 star review
Read and reviewed on behalf of 2 girls who love books blog.
Fourteen Shades of F*cked up is a compilation of short stories by 14 different authors all wrapped up in one anthology! I love reading anthologies because it allows me to read short stories by some brand new authors! I was also excited to see that an author I really like had a story included too! The stories were all completely different and whilst I liked some more than others they were all 4 or 5 star reads! I loved that a couple of them I can also go and find to continue the story. The stories in this anthology covered a wide range of dark and erotic situations and there’s a story in there for everybody!
Petition Denied by Alyson Hale!
This was a great opening story about a husband who is shocked to receive divorce papers from his wife in the post! He decides to use his powers of persuasion to change her mind! There is a deeper meaning to this story which I loved finding out about!
Darkness Consumed by Ariel Marie
I loved this story! I always love a story with a strong female lead and Arissa was certainly that in this one! Arissa is an assassin who meets Ryland on a night out! He is her escape from her crazy life but trying to make a relationship work is going to be tricky for them! This was one of the longer stories in the anthology and I loved that it ended on a cliff-hanger! I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
Excitable by Brittney Coon
This was a great short story! It is about Ember who co-owns an exclusive club where she brings out the deepest fantasise of her clients! Whilst trying out a new club with her friend she finds herself put up for auction and Luca claims her! How will it work when two Doms try to play?
Consensual by Cristina Slough
This short story is about Erica and Michael who find themselves stuck in their marriage and try and spice things up! Except when push comes to shove can they really go through with it? I will admit that this maybe wasn’t my favourite out of the book but I still enjoyed reading it. It was well written, had a good pace and good characters.
F*cking Addicted by J. A. Kerr
I’m still on the fence a little about this story but that’s not to say it was bad in any way! I think that it’s just sometimes hard to connect with characters when the story is so short. I still enjoyed it nonetheless. The story is about Keira and Aiden who meet at a meeting for people with addictions.
Forever Promises by J. L. Baldwin
This one I liked! It certainly wasn’t what I was expecting! It was about Elijah and Beatrice who are destined to be together forever. She is the mate to the other half of his demon soul. I liked the paranormal element of this story which is unusual for me as it is not a genre I really read but I did like it!
A Strange and Distant Safety by Jennifer Loring
Unfortunately I have to say that this was the story I liked the least and that’s only because I don’t like M/M stories. It was however really well written for a short story and if you are a fan of this genre then you will like this story!
Wicked Games by Lilly James
This was one of the darker stories in the anthology and it was a good read. It’s about Ivy and Lyle who are both messed up! They like to share wicked games!
Affliction by Marie Skye
So I kind of loved this story! I love anything by this author and I wasn’t disappointed in this story at all! It was dark and a whole lot naughty! I can’t wait to read the rest of the story because I need to know what happens next!!!
Story of Us by ML Rodriguez
Wow this story had twists and turns galore! I for one did not see the ending coming! It was a fast paced story and it certainly has the potential for more! I know I would definitely read a longer version of it!
Her Mistake by N. Mills
I LOVE a biker story and this one was no exception! It was a really great story and one of the slightly longer ones in the book which I am really grateful for because it may be my favourite!! I think I may have lost my heart to Trick!!
Miss X by Quinn
I think it’s safe to say that this story definitely belongs in an anthology with the name of this one! It was hard to make my mind up about it until I got to the end and everything becomes a little bit clearer. It was a good short story and I enjoyed reading it. I have to admit my heart did break a little bit for the characters at the end of it! This story has the biggest plot twists ever!
Killer Dom by S. Valentine
Well this one was different! This one certainly belongs in this anthology! It was a good little read and something different to what I would usually read! Brandy and Reid were certainly a match for each other and there were a couple of good twists!
Another Last Glance by Zack Halford
The final story in the book was a good one – again not something I would normally read but it had an interesting twist at the end. I certainly didn’t see it coming anyway!
If you are looking for an introduction to some new authors then I would definitely recommend this book. They stories are all different and there is something for everybody! Whilst I didn’t enjoy all of them it was nice to be introduced to new authors by being able to just read a short amount of their work! I definitely recommend this book and give it an overall 4 stars!

14 Shades anthology 5 stars X 14!
Who needs 50 Shades when 14 is clearly enough!! This anthology is erotic, dirty, hot, deviant. It promises no judgement for your preferences, fetishes, or desires. This is Fourteen shades of hot. Fourteen shades of yummy. Fourteen shades of O.M.G! Some of the stories could lead to more. Some stories were more! I can’t complain about a single one.
Story 1 is called Petition Denied by Alyson Hale. It is about a husband and wife. And like all good, long marriages, communication is key. However, the wife, Lana wonders if divorce is the answer to their relationship differences. Anton, the husband, has a different way he wants to handle the situation. There’s a shirt circulating on social media that says “every girl wants a guy with a little Christian Gray in him.”
Story 2 is called Darkness Consumed by Ariel Marie…This is about bad girl Arissa, who kills for a living. She meets a guy, Ryland, who turns out to be the love of her life. But how can this possibly work? Great start to a what should be an amazing story! Cannot wait for the rest of this!
Story 3 is Excitable by Britteny Coon. This could easily be the best story ever. I really hope there is more to this one! What could possibly happen when two doms get together!? A sure battle of the wills!
Story 4 is Consensual by Cristina Slough and is about husband and wife duo of Michael and Erica. But holy moly the names could be changed to be my life. Married with kids and no time to do anything dirty! This couple is feeling like they are drifting apart. Together they decide to check out the local swing house. After a night of fantasy will their marriage survive? Have they changed too much? Another 5-star story!
Story 5 is called F*cking Addicted by JA Kerr. This story is as hot as it can get for two young addicts. No drugs or alcohol needed. Just a whole lot of sex! This story kept me turning the pages and has me wondering if there will be more of Keira and Aiden.
Story 6 is Forever Promises by JL Baldwin. This story tells about our friend the demon, Elijah. Elijah has a secret from his wife and mate of over 20 years. When she finds out what he is keeping from her will she send him to a fiery death? Great immortal intro that could lead to a series if Baldwin desires.
Story 7 is A Strange and Distant Safety by Jennifer Loring. “The truth is that I’m tired of pretending. He may have kidnapped me, but I’ve been waiting for him my whole life. Someone to steal me from my commonplace life. To save me from it.” I have no other words for this very deep, revealing, crazy story that I loved!
Story 8 called Wicked Games is by Lilly James. What the What?!?!! Wicked Games indeed! Wow! “Our love is based on flaws and scars not romance and hearts.” This story is about Lyle and Ivy, with a few minor characters thrown in. These two love to hate each other, they degrade each other, their relationship is toxic. I wonder if there will be more outside of this anthology. Will they get what they deserve!?
Story 9 is called Affliction by Marie Skye. Ooohhhh that Marie Skye. She is so good. She loves to give it to the reader! This story is no less than intriguing, hot and captivating. My only response to this story is MORE MORE MORE! There is a secret or a feeling of something else in this story only it is never revealed. Killian is a professor at a college and a doctor. He has a vendetta against the Clyper family for killing his parents and sister. He doesn’t expect the unknown of Alegra Clyper. I cannot wait to read the rest of this story!
Story 10 Story of Us by ML Rodriguez. Rodriguez is another new to me author from this anthology. And what the what!?! Rodriguez’s writing has pulled me in, grabbed me and has not let go! #neversawthatendingcoming This story is about Adelina and Cristian and so many secrets and lies are in play throughout this story.
Story 11 is a story called Her Mistake by N. Mills and is the only biker story in this anthology. But what makes it even better is that it is hot and sweet. A biker vs librarian story. There’s all kinds of action and mystery! I look forward to seeing where Mills takes Trick and Jezabelle. (Love these names!)
Story 12 Miss X by Quinn This story is a good reason the anthology has the name it does! This story is about Lana or Jane and Damien or Michael. No one tells the truth in this story or so it seems. Which is just the first of the fourteen shades of effed up this story is!
Story 13 is Killer Dom by S. Valentine. This story while quite deadly, it was funny in a twisted sort of way. Karma rules this story in my opinion. Brandy and Reid are perfect!
Story 14- Another Last Chance by Zack Halford. Wow, last but certainly not least is a story that is a complete mind screw! Hal is richer than anyone, has more power that anyone and is dying. He wants to go out on his terms and is with a new program he can go out in ecstasy. But greed and lust fill this crazy story and there are plot twists waiting on every turn of the page.
I can’t believe that I have found 12 (of the 14) new to me authors all in one place! This anthology is definitely for the 18 and over crowd...maybe even the even older crowd! The title kind of tells you just how this anthology is going to go, but you really have no idea!
Who needs 50 Shades when 14 is clearly enough!! This anthology is erotic, dirty, hot, deviant. It promises no judgement for your preferences, fetishes, or desires. This is Fourteen shades of hot. Fourteen shades of yummy. Fourteen shades of O.M.G! Some of the stories could lead to more. Some stories were more! I can’t complain about a single one.
Story 1 is called Petition Denied by Alyson Hale. It is about a husband and wife. And like all good, long marriages, communication is key. However, the wife, Lana wonders if divorce is the answer to their relationship differences. Anton, the husband, has a different way he wants to handle the situation. There’s a shirt circulating on social media that says “every girl wants a guy with a little Christian Gray in him.”
Story 2 is called Darkness Consumed by Ariel Marie…This is about bad girl Arissa, who kills for a living. She meets a guy, Ryland, who turns out to be the love of her life. But how can this possibly work? Great start to a what should be an amazing story! Cannot wait for the rest of this!
Story 3 is Excitable by Britteny Coon. This could easily be the best story ever. I really hope there is more to this one! What could possibly happen when two doms get together!? A sure battle of the wills!
Story 4 is Consensual by Cristina Slough and is about husband and wife duo of Michael and Erica. But holy moly the names could be changed to be my life. Married with kids and no time to do anything dirty! This couple is feeling like they are drifting apart. Together they decide to check out the local swing house. After a night of fantasy will their marriage survive? Have they changed too much? Another 5-star story!
Story 5 is called F*cking Addicted by JA Kerr. This story is as hot as it can get for two young addicts. No drugs or alcohol needed. Just a whole lot of sex! This story kept me turning the pages and has me wondering if there will be more of Keira and Aiden.
Story 6 is Forever Promises by JL Baldwin. This story tells about our friend the demon, Elijah. Elijah has a secret from his wife and mate of over 20 years. When she finds out what he is keeping from her will she send him to a fiery death? Great immortal intro that could lead to a series if Baldwin desires.
Story 7 is A Strange and Distant Safety by Jennifer Loring. “The truth is that I’m tired of pretending. He may have kidnapped me, but I’ve been waiting for him my whole life. Someone to steal me from my commonplace life. To save me from it.” I have no other words for this very deep, revealing, crazy story that I loved!
