Altered Allies: A Short Story by Cat Waters ((Tara Sue Me)

Synopsis

This is a short story and is not part of The Submissive Series. 

Includes a bonus excerpt of Cat Waters new novel, OBSCURED, releasing October 12, 2015! 

Emma Olson is out of options after being wrongly terminated from her nursing position. As a last ditch effort before starting over as a grocery store bagger, she interviews with William Richardson, a well known computer geek, said to go through nurses like tissue paper. 

William needs a live in nurse for his terminally ill Grandmother. He doesn’t think spitfire Emma Olson is the one for the job, but unfortunately, she’s the only one applying. 

When Emma moves in, the combination of her sass and his sarcasm will either keep them apart or show them they might be fighting for the same thing.

My Review

Quickie.

A short story is just that... short!

Because of the length, everything needs to be packed into one quick pretty little package.

Started out intrigued, she's looking for work, he's a tall, dark and handsome nerdy tech guy.. or so she thought, offering her a job. He turns out to be anything but!

His kinks come out quite quickly, and although she tries to hide it, she's intrigued.

I wanted more. I know it was a short, but it felt rushed. I believe you definitely can build a connection in that small amount of time, but it didn't quite make it for me. I didn't get much of a connection or feeling from them.

It was a quick roll in the hay with a touch of bdsm on the side.

What added an extra star is the added bonus of the first 4 chapters of Obscured! That looks like it's going to be good!!

Top Me Maybe? by Jay Northcote

BLURB

Duncan has a secret fantasy, but is Tyler the right man for the job?

Tyler’s new policeman boyfriend, Duncan, is gorgeous. Tall, broad, and über-masculine, he’s the epitome of the dominant top—in appearance at least.

When they discuss their sexual fantasies, Duncan confesses to a secret desire that surprises Tyler. Luckily for Duncan, Tyler’s happy to oblige and is determined to give Duncan a night to remember. 

Length: 9666 words

MY REVIEW

Just what I needed... a steamy afternoon quickie! 

Top Me Maybe? is a short story about Duncan and Tyler's hot new relationship.

Duncan, the tall, muscular, strapping piece of man cop and Tyler, the bleach blonde, lithe bodied hair stylist. They couldn't be more different!

"You're so beautiful like this... on your knees for me."

You never know what your partner wants or needs unless you ask! And soon enough, they discover that they aren't as different as they had originally thought.

"Do you want me to be gentle with you or fuck you hard?"

A quick, sexy and satisfying read!

At the weekend, Jules gets into a tough situation with another bloke in a gay club and Gareth comes to his aid. Gareth rejects Jules’s subsequent advances but leaves him with the hope that his attraction isn’t completely one-sided. Fantasy could become reality.

With Gareth’s work at the salon nearly done, he’ll soon disappear from Jules’s life for good. Time is running out. Jules needs to prove to Gareth that he’s tougher than he looks and that his feelings run deeper than gratitude.

MY REVIEW

Loved it!! Jules and Gareth's story is funny, sweet and incredibly sexy!!

 

 This is my second short story from Jay Northcote and it was perfect! Jules's initial attraction and interactions with Gareth had me laughing out loud and grinning like a fool!

"He smelled of clean sweat and masculinity, locker rooms and teenage fantasies. Jules was in heaven."

This is another case of opposites attract. They are at complete ends of the spectrum, yet they couldn't be more perfect for each other.

"You're the sleek little sports car to my Land Rover."

I really enjoyed the writing, the humor and the tenderness of this story. A handful more chapters and it would have made a bang up novella! In fact, I could read about Jules and Gareth for days!
