I only finished the first tale and got halfway through the second when I had to stop to preserve my sanity. So this review is solely based on the first two tales "The Obedient Wife" and "How the Little Mermaid Got Her Tail Back".
"The Obedient Wife"
I had never heard the word quim (a British slang term for vagina) and this short tale used it enough times that I wish I never became aware of it.
"Pleasure your nubbin," he growled.
The most ridiculous sentence I've ever read made even more ridiculous because it was meant to be arousing.
"How the Little Mermaid Got Her Tail Back"
It's set in modern times but it's supposed to be a fairy tale, so that was confusing.
They open a sushi restaurant and apparently, Philip is so sexually deviant he can't do anything without making it sexual, hence, this sentence:
"The food though... it'll be daring, sexy."
And she can't even have normal conversation with him without everything he says being somehow arousing. He says "Sushi" and her panties hit the floor. Oh, but only with his permission, ofc.
In this tale, we have another writer who found a word/s and fell in love with it so much so that it's mentioned in every other sentence: come and cock.
I hate the word cock. It is not sexy. It's usage immediately makes the story juvenile-y pornographic and immature, like a 17 year old trying to sound grown up and sexy. It just doesn't work for me.
Also, by the fifth time you mention how much a character comes, you've lost me. I get it, she's so sensitive, the AC turning on will have her writhing on the floor in ecstasy. You don't need to tell me 3 times in one sentence.
If you like 50 Shades you'll love these stories. Unfortunately.
