Dear Ms. Linn,
I must admit, VP did you dirty with that horrendous cover for your Sexy Confession: Take Her Home. Praise Jah for excerpts, because if I judged a book by it’s cover, this one would have stayed right on the virtual shelf and it would’ve been our loss. I also know authors only get a minimal say on covers, so I’ll move on to the basics.
At 11 pages, Take Her Home worked very well for me. I was a bit skeptical at first (ugly cover aside) about the quality of VP’s stories, given what I’ve read about VP’s reputation among readers and authors, however I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by your short tale.
Take Her Home features a happy couple, at the height of a comfortable relationship who like being adventurous in their sexual escapades. Yet, Tierney is a bit reluctant when her lover encourages her to try a threesome with another woman. Eventually she’s persuaded by her curiosity and her desire to please Dane. It turns out that Tierney ends up on the most satisfying end of this ménage.
I liked Tierney’s personality, it was realistic: shy, but curious and willing. I also liked that her lover wanted her to experience the pleasures of having two people focus their attention on her. Of course men are visual creatures, so it was all good for him, but he wasn’t selfish in his actions, and I liked how he remained focus on Tierney. For me, this is one of those ménages between two women and a guy where the women’s connection is their appreciation of each other’s bodies, rather than just a show for a guy.
Good job telling a hot confession. One point I’d make about the blurb - it’s not her forbidden fantasy, it’s her lover’s very vocal fantasy which she indulges in and learns is yet another pleasure for her to enjoy. Sorry, that’s just the nitpicky Virgo in me. Keep writing!
Regards, Solaine
P.S. I’ll be picking up Sinful Touch, that excerpt on your site is scandalously delicious!
