Product Description

Product Description

4:PLAY captures the deliciousness of sexual fulfillment, the adventure of conquest, and the mystery of unexplored territory.

With a scope and style that is fresh and compelling, 4:PLAY dives into the depths of navigating gender, sexuality, and the lines of desire.

4:PLAY contains 10 stories, and is approximately 81,000 words long.

Stories Include:

1) Black Velvet (casual public sex)
2) Wicked Lovely (step siblings)
3) The Devilin Fey (incubus / paranormal erotic romance)
4) Tongue-Tied (succubus / paranormal erotic romance)
5) New Order (GLBT)
6) Status: Married (GLBT)
7) Oral Fixation (GLBT)
8) The Gift (erotic romance / popstar encounter)
9) Appetizers (erotic poetry)
10) 4:Play (gender-bending / bisexuality)

In this anthology you'll get ten of the currently-released "4:Play" short stories--ten stories for less than the price of four if purchased separately.

Praise for Jess C Scott's 4:PLAY:

"These stories are too complex to be called erotic, too creative to be classifiable, too genre-bending to be conventionally published, and far too hot for me to handle."
-- Joseph Grinton (from U.K.), April 2010

"[This] is erotic fiction with a story...[which] I would much rather read, than one of the many so-called erotic romances that serve as vehicles for written pornography."
-- Review @ Alternative-Read.com

"Even the shortest stories pay off beautifully...all are welcome here, and every sexuality is celebrated. There are no limitations...just boundaries to be explored."
-- Sally Sapphire / Amazon review on "New Order"

EXCERPT (from Story #2, Wicked Lovely):

[Ed / 4 June 2006]

Everyone will kill me if they know about this. I'm a perv, a deviant, a psycho, a twisted individual! This is gross unhealthy abnormal I'll cross over a line that should have never been crossed if I haven't already and I need counseling or should I see a psychiatrist and get myself checked out, maybe we were brought up in a screwed up kind of way?

"I don't think so." Detective Green on Law & Order. Lost track of what's going on in this episode. Can't concentrate. Can't concentrate on shit.

Body is aching. In the craving way.

Peel myself off the sofa. Ed, you sicko.

I wanna tell the voice in my head and the whole world to shut up. They can talk and talk but they've not been in the same situation, they don't even know what they're missing out on.

That. That's the exact thing that fuels their disgust and anger. It's a displaced frustration, that they can never have access to this deranged special kind of arrangement. Go, Ed!

Something geuine, something real 6 Jan 2010
By Elena P - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
To me, what stands out about 4:Play is its intent (along with Jess C Scott's use of modern formatting and original writing style, as seen in the author's debut blog novel, EyeLeash: A Blog Novel). As I perused through each individual story, the goal didn't seem to be to whip the reader into an erotic frenzy, which tends to be the aim of most mainstream erotic material. The material in 4:Play leads one to view eroticism as a universal experience, regardless of a person's sexual orientation or preferences.

The themes used throughout 4:Play cover a lot of ground. It is much more than eroticism on its own. The story "Wicked Lovely" is about a brother and sister pair locked in passion, while "Devilin Fey" has a macabre element which readers of paranormal romance would appreciate. The section titled "Appetizers" contains short poems or texts that showcase the author's versatility, in a world where poetry is increasingly losing its value with the general public. A note about the first and last stories, where the author uses copies of instant messenger and text message conversations within the story. These might annoy traditionalist readers, who might not fully understand what LOL or ROFL mean.

Overall, 4:Play is for those who enjoy a "contemporary cocktail," as the author so notes in the subtitle. The book features varied pacing and an unrestrained usage of modern, contemporary language. The author's writing reflects something genuine, something real, about our generation that few writers have had the talent or the courage to uncover.

A very interesting read 28 May 2010
By Robert - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
4:Play intrigued me at first. I'm not usually one for erotic stories, but a couple of the stories really intrigued me. The first couple were about two people chatting online and then having an encounter in person in a theater bathroom, and then an incest story. Neither really appealed to me. However, the third and forth stories really held my attention. Titled The Devilin Fey and Tongue-Tied, these two stories about succubus really intrigued me. I honestly felt either of these could have been expanded into full fledged books by themselves. In The Devilin Fey, I was almost disappointed not to see what eventually happened. There could really have been more to the story, and I wanted to find out if in the end the writer was destroyed...or even perhaps helped? In Tongue-Tied it was interesting to read and watch as the succubus followed someone she had taken an interest in. The writing in these stories is excellent, even if if some of the tales are not towards everyone's taste. I would well recommend this book, just for the two succubus stories! A very interesting read!

Sinfully good. 17 Nov 2009
By Kevis Hendrickson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
4:Play: A Contemporary Cocktail of Erotic Short Stories definitely lives up to its namesake. This book is a collection of erotic short stories that range from urban erotica to more fanciful based erotica steeped in the macabre.

The first thing that struck me about Ms. Scott's book is how wonderfully impressive she is as a writer. Although a contemporary novel, 4Play is written by a very intelligent, witty, and literary-minded author. In this book, there are references to such historical figures as Murasaki Shikibu, William Churchill, Buddah, and others. I commend Ms. Scott for not writing the typical erotic yarn relying only on sexual deviantness for its effect, but rather creating a tapestry of sensual, but stirring narrative episodes all delivered in her wonderfully vivid prose style. I was equally impressed with her eclectic use of verse as well.

Although erotica is not my typical reading subject, I would have given this book 5 stars if the last few stories had not lost the flare of the opening episodes. The stories which comprise the beginning of this book, such as my personal favorite, "Devlin Fey", are really engaging tales which gives you an intimate look into the lives of very intriguing characters. Unfortunately, the second half of the book began to fizzle out with mediocre stories which seemed more like leftovers than part of the main course. This is probably due to the fact, that the characters who appear in the latter stories just aren't as interesting as the ones who people the opening tales. No amount of steamy sex scenes or excellent writing can make up for uninteresting characters or situations. To be sure, the erotic component is just as pronounced in the end as it is in the beginning. But it's a mundane and much more predictable affair which fails to possess the dramatic flourish of the earlier stories.

With that said, I would quickly recommend this book to any and all readers searching for erotic fiction. This is some truly impressive work here and is worth reading. I am happy to have had the chance to discover the work of this young author. I look forward to reading more of her work.
