Telling Tales by Charlotte Stein

By



Telling Tales puts a very erotic twist in an otherwise very common friends to lovers and unrequited love plot device which definitely puts this in a NSFW novel. Allie, Wade, Cameron and Kitty, four friends from college, part of the now defunct Candy Club, has inherited their old professor's home. After several years of losing touch they now come face to face once again, this time around their once innocent writing club has started taking on a more sensual and erotic turn. Allie has always felt attracted to Wade and time hasn't seemed to diminish that. However, it seem its her very good friend Cameron that pulls on her libido and makes her question what she truly wants. Telling Tales is pure erotica but in the hands of the very talented Charlotte Stein its also a very character driven book. With a very subtle take on domination and submission, Allie's character slowly develops and becomes more layered as the story progresses. Despite being told in the first person point of view, each of the remaining characters has also evolved by the time the book ends. The heat level is definitely scorching, the story engaging and the characters are deep and evolving, a very good read.

Allie has held a brightly burning torch for Wade since college. They were part of a writing group together, and everything about those days with him and their friends Kitty and Cameron fills her with longing. When their former Professor leaves them his rambling mansion in his will, it's a chance for them to reunite. But there's more than friendship bubbling beneath the surface.

As secrets are revealed and relationships rekindled, the stories get dirtier and the stakes get higher. And now Allie's realized that she isn't quite sure who she wants…fun-loving Wade, or quiet, restrained Cameron. Neither have been honest about their feelings, and now they have the chance to act on all of the tales that ignite their most primal desires.

It was just another day for 35-year-old-turning-36-tomorrow Jeffrey Mercier, when he woke up on his flat in London in 1969. He went on with his usual routine, going to work for his boring job at Harlan and Locke. It did seem to be an ordinary day, until a young woman told him that he's gonna die in ten minutes if he won't go out of the building. Of course he didn't believe her, yet he found himself outside the building ten minutes later, the building blown up. He was saved again from a stampede by the same young woman whom he met ten minutes ago, introducing herself as Marie-Elizabeth Giraud. Marie was tasked to save Jeff from death and take him to the Time Agency, where he's going to be inducted as a time agent. Later that day, Jeffrey Mercier's life as Mister Mercy begins.

Blog Hop Giveaway:Switched by Cassie Mae

Switched by Cassie Mae was a funny and often frustrating read but highly entertaining. Kayla, Wesley, Reagan and Talon were all friends. Reagan and Talon were a couple while Kayla and Wesley, well they've been pining for these two since high school. Told from Kayla's point of view, she, dragging Wesley along hatches a plan to break the happy couple apart. Because as everyone can see Talon is her soulmate while Wesley is Reagan's. Thus starts the funs and the laughs and the musical chairs between the four. Kayla as a character was frustrating initially for me, I have no idea whether its because she was being an evil bestfriend to Reagan or she really was in love with Talon. I could not really hate nor empathize with her at the start. As the story progressed and the romance part began, her sudden self awareness becomes believable. The pace, the tone and style of writing was excellent. I can see that Cassie Mae has developed her own unique voice in the
