Erotic Seduction

This book is comprised of three short stories. They are moderately well-written, though every so often I was a little confused about what was happening. The stories have common characters and you almost get the feeling that they were put into the book in the wrong order. They were much too short to get you to feel much of anything. I wasn't impressed.

I found that the characters in this book lacked depth. Much of the interaction between characters did not add to the plot, and I found to be quite pointless. In fact, much of the story had nothing to do with the plot.

But you're not reading this book for character depth and a twist in the plot. You're reading it for the steamy sex scenes, which this book did not lack. The main theme is dominance and submission, but there plenty of other scenes without it.

Overall, I rate this at a 3/5.

Firstly, this is a good book if you're looking for some not-terribly-involving recreational erotica. The adult scenes were crafted with care and attention. If that's what you are looking for you won't be let down.

But... the characters feel thin and, as another reviewer has noted, the scenes bop back and forth in different times and places in a way that's disconcerting. Perhaps if the character were more developed they could've served as a strong connective tissure between scenes, but in this case they do not.

Also, while the point of this story seems to be the erotica, some of the descriptions are overdone. I understand the writer's desire to touch upon all the details they can find, but the result feels more cluttered than show more comprehensive.

Still, this was a fun, highly-charged, read. If you're looking for a little light erotica, this might be perfect for you. show less

I liked the first short story, even though I didn't think there was enough there. But I guess I should have expected that since it's a quick read. The other two short stories didn't hold my attention. They all were written well though.

Erotic Seduction consisted of short stories from the "Siren Calls" Trilogy. Although I was unaware of this when I began reading and was ultimately disappointed as the stories ended; I was more than anxious to continue reading the story of Isobel and Jay. I didn't like how the stories bounced around from one place and time to another, but they were well written, interesting, and kept you wanting to read more. I look forward to reading the "Siren Calls" Trilogy.

I enjoyed reading this story. Nevertheless I didn't like the characters. I think that Isobel is a very foolish woman who doesn't think things through. I'm not sure if she is rash or lacks common sense. I wanted to like Jay, but I'm still on the fence. I thought the story was well written.

I received this book free through LibraryThing in exchange for my review. This book contains nine snippets of erotic stories, ranging from 500 words to 3 chapters, and none of the stories were that compelling. Although the point of view of the stories were from female and male characters, all of the stories were focused on the men and the pleasure women could give them. It is unclear who the target audience is, but these were not stories about empowering women. There are women who are unsatisfied in their relationships, but when they find lovers, the women become obsessive alcoholics. There are strong mistresses who become insecure and clingy when they meet men who spurn them. There are intelligent prostitutes who are only used as tools show more by men to blackmail other men. The characters are flat, the erotic scenes are repetitive, and the plots sandwiching the erotica are boring. show less
