F*cking Awkward Charity Anthology
24 authors, 24 funny short stories about embarrassing sex.
Raise your hand if you have ever had something embarrassing happen to you during sex.
C'mon. Nobody has walked in on you? Heard you moaning and banged on the wall? Lost a sex toy in your body? Lost a condom in your vag? Did you fart during sex? Have something stuck on your partner's dick? Have him find a tampon you forgot to remove? Queef? Vomit on his dick? Get locked in handcuffs or knotted into ropes? Been stared down by a pet (or licked by one) during sex? Some of theses *may* have happened to me more than once. Well if you think these are mortifying yet funny, wait till you see what 24 amazingly funny authors came up with in F*cking Awkward, all for charity.
I literally read some of the stories like this.
It was almost like watching a train wreck! Everything is all sexy and hot...but you know something is going to happen! Eeek! What will it be this time? I think I even had Mr. Ana cupping his balls once or twice when he asked why I was laughing.
The nice thing about F*cking Awkward, besides it being for a favorite charity (The Bookworm Box), is that you know these are all short, funny, unrelated stories. So you can read a few at a time as funny palate cleansers between emotional books. I intended to do that, but had trouble putting it down.
From the prologue written by my favorite funny author, Tara Sivec, to a bunch of authors I always wanted to read (I've only read 4, but more have been at my event, Wicked Book Weekend), now I need to read every one of them!
Here is the list of participating authors:
Taryn Plendl, AD Justice, Ahren Sanders, Aly Martinez, Amanda Maxlyn, B.A. Wolfe, Brooke Blaine, Brooke Page, Carey Heywood, Christine Zolendz, CM Foss, Dina Littner, Ella Frank, Heather C. Leigh, H.J. Bellus, K. Langston, Laura Ward, Lex Martin, Liv Morris, Mel Ballew, R.E. Hunter, Stacy Kestwick, Tiffany Aleman & Trudy Stiles
“Holy shit, Nick!” Chelsea exclaimed. “I know, baby.” I smiled, her reaction inflating my ego. “What did you do?” The change in her voice had me opening my eyes to see what was wrong. Chelsea was looking at my dick with a strange look on her face.
I consider myself a nice person. So much so, that I almost felt guilty laughing at these fictional character's expense!
“Oh, shit,” he murmured, more to himself than to her. “Oh, shit! Oh, shit!” she screamed. “What? What’s wrong?” “I’m on fire! Holy shit, what did you do?”
There was also some mentions of my favorite color!
“Oh my God! It’s swollen and purple!”
If you have read any of these authors in the past, I think that many of the stories visit with some characters from their other books. But I never felt like I wasn't following, or needed to know more to enjoy. These are all just funny scenes, but they each read like short stories with beginnings, middles and ends. I can't even pick a favorite.
While I normally do Likes and Dislikes here, there are too many unrelated stories to do that. And quite honestly, I really loved everything, from the unique idea, to the charity, to every story. The only thing I wished was that there was a way to know which author I am reading while I am reading it (my wish for all anthologies).
The Down & Dirty
The F*cking Awkward Anthology is one of the best ideas ever! How many of us haven't been embarrassed or had an awkward sex moment? (Sex on the beach or in the shower is awkward every single time in real life!) It was a rare treat to read when a perfect sex scene goes wrong. I loved each story in the anthology and I am dying to read more from each author. While I will often read a book just because it is a charity book, this one is a must read even if the digital profits weren't being donated to The Bookworm Box Charity.
Rating: 5 stars, 4.5 heat (it's dirty, but don't expect to enjoy it for long!)
