Stealing Carmen by Gail Faulkner




Once again, not exactly a book review, this one is more of a novella, and I absolutely loved it!!

Jack has the type of job where, if he he told you what he did, he would have to kill you. He lives in a duplex with the other tenant being Carmen, a sweet, "sensible" woman who works in a hospital and is also a reviewer of BDSM books for an online company. For two years, the only conversations they have had were hellos and goodbyes, but Jack and Carmen have been wanting more from each other. After accidentally overhearing a conversation between Carmen and her friend, Jack decides he should be the one to be her dominant. She accepts his invitation and they are together for a very short while before Jack is called away on another dangerous mission. When he comes back home, how much will Carmen have changed, and will she say "peach?"

This was an excellent story, my first reading from Gail Faulkner. While it has some BDSM elements in it, readers should not be worried that they will read any disturbing or humiliating scenes. Jack, while still being a strong dominant, is very patient and careful with Carmen, who is a very willing learner. It you enjoy reading erotica and romance, you will love this story. Plus, the last few pages with the 2 dogs will leave you with a smile on your face.

The Goodbye by Jan Gordon

My first book review. Actually, not a book, but a free short story I had read a few weeks ago. I had downloaded it to my phone, with the intent to read quickly and then erase. But after reading, I knew I could not delete it, because I would want to read it again and again.

As I said, a short story about the connection between a loving wife and her husband, a brave soldier in some current unnamed war, who keeps going when it would be so easy to give up, in order to make it back home. I suggest reading it, then say a prayer for all the soldiers who are away from home to make it back safely.

You can read it here for free from Feedbooks.com.

The Goodbye by Jan Gordon

My first post

My first post...as you can tell by the title, this will be my little blog about books and short stories that I have read. Well, mostly books, I might deviate and add something about music, food, or sports, but not very much. I love reading, my taste in books runs from young adult, mystery, adventure, horror, and paranormal romance to odd, weird stuff that make you wonder what was going through the author's brain at the time.

My goals with this blog? I am not sure, I do not mind if anyone reads it, but I hope they do. I hope to get a few comments and recommendations on books to read, and I hope that someone gets an idea from me. I hope to post at least once a week, but we will see how it goes.

Bye for now!!
