Rated: X-Mas

"Rated X-MAS" is an interesting erotic trilogy by Rachel Bo, Jet Mykles, and Barbara Karmazin. Each of the stories involves a permanent menage relationship.

"Twice Blessed" by Rachel Bo. Wickedly sexy contemporary were twins! I would have like to have seen this as a longer read (and I would really like to find these two waiting for me one dark night). I thought the relationship building suffered a bit because of the short story length. Still mega-hot, and I still enjoyed it.

"Christmas Noir" by Barbara Karmazin. Erotic futuristic story of a serial killer targeting hermaphrodites. Two cops who work together both on and off duty are assigned to protect the next likely victim who is a prominent 'shemale'. Not sure why, but this one set off a show more weird vibe for me. My least enjoyable of the three.

"Spiritual Noelle" by Jet Mykles. I'm really digging Mykles' writing. This is a really smoking hot contemporary starring two witches and a werebear. (Say that three times fast!) A little less "gay is OK" promotional dialogue would make this one about perfect for me.

WARNING: A couple of these stories include M/M scenes so if that offends you...don't read this book! show less

This wasn't quite what I expected...not that I really knew what to expect. Although there were some moments were I wasn't quite comfortable with this read. The first story especially...it was a little too close to beastiality for me to be comfortable with. The other stories I was better with, but this is far from the norm (for me at least). The second story about a hermaphrodite and two cops was very interesting, as was the last story. The book contains m/m scenes as well as menage scenes.

Rating for the Mykles story; haven't read the others.
