EXCERPT:
From The Inlaw....
They both jumped and froze at the distant shout of, ‘Mom?'
With a nervous giggle, Carla grabbed her prosthetic leg and stood up as she shoved her stump into the socket. It clicked like some kind of deranged cricket as she ratcheted the pin into the lock. Clicked and locked, she cast a panicked glance around until she located her dress, crumpled on the far side of the desk. With a nervous giggle, Carla lunged for it and pulled it hurriedly over her head.
A quick look at John showed that he’d managed to pull on his boxers, but only had one foot in the top of his jeans. Not quick enough by a long shot. Only one thing for it. She headed for the door, to stop her daughter before she could burst into the office and find them like this. Before she pulled it open, she caught John’s eye. He grinned and winked and mouthed, ‘Later.’ Carla smoothed her hair down, swallowed, and took a fortifying breath before venturing into the hallway. She had to suck her cheeks in hard to wipe the silly grin from her face.
Emma watched her from the kitchen doorway, eyes narrowed in suspicion. ‘Where did you get to? I thought you were going for drinks.'
Carla moved toward her, so the young woman had to back up and edge into the kitchen. ‘Sorry. A call came in, and then things … got on top of me.'

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
Readers looking for a little afternoon delight will get just that with this collection of erotic stories set amidst all your favorite genres. From menage to historical to paranormal to sci-fi, readers will get quickly caught up in the sensual haze these tales engender with each turn of the page. Those there's a lack of polish, a bit of incompleteness to some of the stories, I still found myself entertained by these naughty tales and think others will too.
As with any anthology some of the stories I preferred over others. The first story to catch my attention was The Inlaw and involved the theme of the older woman/younger man and was a favorite for its divorced heroine who dealt with losing a limb and addressed issues of self-image. Though I would've loved to see her disability dealt with more fully I did enjoy the spunky, strong-willed older heroine and the sexy and playful young man who renewed her faith in herself. A story that was ultimately over far too soon. The next story to catch my eye was Night Nurse for its intensely emotional storyline of a dying woman finding her soul mate on her deathbed. It was heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting in its message of living life to the fullest no matter what the future holds. It's a powerful message in a small package. The weakest of the lot, and one I had high hopes for, was Grey Manchester for its deaf hero. Unfortunately, I felt as though I was dropped into the middle of the story and saw no purpose to the actions of the characters. The remaining stories though were satisfying and steamy and provided a few hours of escapism.
Readers who enjoy erotic tales will find something to whet their appetite in this collection of stories of various genres and word lengths. The British slang throughout further set the stories apart and helped immerse me in the erotic world Ms. Kent crafted. Though it's not a perfect read, it's one I won't soon forget.
