The Bookshelf of Shame

Usually I read mainstream romances whether they are romantic suspense, paranormal romances, or something along those lines where there’s a story being developed along with two (or maybe three) people embarking on a relationship.  But once in a while, my alter ego takes over and wants to read erotica with little or no plot which is what happened today.

For the most part, there wasn’t much of a story line to any of these and they were short; they could be read in about an hour or less.  Their purpose was to get the reader all hot and bothered, and they did what they set out to do.  Some were better written and a couple really needed to be proofread and edited before they were uploaded.

  • Corrupted by My…: A Taboo Short – Emma Hayle – Younger sister spies on older sister.
  • Playing Mr. Baily’s Game – Katrina Millings – Hired help seduces the husband.
  • Claimed by the Cowboys – Jamie Klaire – Female and two cowboys who are brothers.
  • Lusty Leprechaun – Alexis Ayres – Woman is dumped by longtime boyfriend only to get seduced by the boss.
  • Ravished by the Pack – Sara Page – Female werewolf goes into heat and it takes four male wolves to cool her jets.
  • Filled by the Doctor – Ginny Lacey – Doctor-patient sex.
  • Amy’s Prescription – Connie Cliff – Another variation of the doctor-patient scenario.
  • Wicked Stepbrother – Sasha Marcos – Her mom marries his dad and they can’t keep their hands off each other.
