This review is from: Rock My Socks Off (Paperback)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
I read a novella by this author in the amazon vine offering Ultimate Decadence, and felt that I had to warn others off it, due to the whole story being about being 'bathed' in a certain bodily emission - I found it gross, off-putting and certainly not what I would call mainstream erotica.Unfortunately I'd already ordered this book, and in order to review it I read it, and found it a slight improvement on the previous book, but again both the male and female leads seemed inordinately interested in the noise and vigour of the mentioned bodily-emission, which neither of them seemed to consider as something to be done in private. I understood that amazon vine offered products based on each reviewer's purchase history, so I thought that this would be in line with Ellora's Cave/Samhain/Berkeley Sensation etc. but the author - who is clearly male, and not someone writing under a male name - is clearly obsessed with the above, and making me obsessed with my distaste of it. I only gave the tale 2* as there is actually a slight tale. Full stop. No, it's not titillating and I did not find it erotic as there were no real feelings, no character-depth and sharing private matters with all and sundry indiscriminately is definitely not my cup of tea. I will not be reading any more material by this 'author'. Comments

I must point out a serious factual error in this review. The "whole story" is absolutely *not* about a certain bodily emission, or even about body emissions in general. To describe it so is a gross misrepresentation of the material. Indeed, word-for-word there's more "dry humor" than body fluids.

I think that you may have perhaps read the review wrongly, as the 'whole story' element you refer to above relates in fact to the previous novella that I mentioned in the opening paragraph.
This novella, as I say, was a touch better as it had a tale, but for me, the 'certain bodily emission' that I mention, is a matter of personal privacy. However, thanks for taking the time to read and comment. Rita
