Get wild, get hot, don’t stop to think, and just embrace your inner kinky in these explicit tales of sex. A seductive Halloween party costume is mercilessly shredded by a young passionate couple in lust in their haste to have sex in “Wings and All” by Emerald. In “Sign Your Name” by Saskia Walker a man and woman re-write the rules on foreplay by giving new meaning to taking notes with this delicious ink-on-skin fantasy come to fruition.
After having read D is for Dress-Up, H is for Hardcore, and G is for Games, I have moved on to the my next selection from Alison Tyler’s Erotic Alphabet series—K is for Kinky. Having been captivated by the idea that each letter of the alphabet could stand for something steamy, I anxiously awaited to see what passion lay in waiting within the pages of K is for Kinky.
As with the other books in this anthology series, K is for Kinky has a little something for everyone told by some of the best-known voices in the world of erotica writing today. But as with any series, perfection is not always guaranteed. Just because the previous books in a series were exquisite, does not mean that every book in the series will follow suit. When I began this anthology I hoped that I would enjoy it as much as I had the previous anthologies in this series. After all, who doesn’t appreciate and long for a little kink?
From the author of Naughty Fairytales from A-Z and Learning to Love It comes K is for Kinky, the eleventh installment in Alison Tyler’s Erotic Alphabet series. This book is for those who think outside the box when it comes to sexual endeavors. K is for Kinky is written by some of the most prominent voices in erotica writing today and really packs a wallop of intensity for readers who are not faint of heart.
Overall, I enjoyed this novel. I by no means consider myself a libertine nor do I consider myself a prude. However, some of the stories were a little much even for me (particularly the ones that involved knives.) But I was able to get past those stories enough to enjoy much of this anthology.
The stories in K is for Kinky certainly are original, each author bringing something fresh and exciting to this book. This anthology is by no means for the faint of heart or readers who are more comfortable with the tender side of sexual encounters. There is nothing tender about these stories at all. Each story is what the title proclaims, kinky.
My personal favorites in this anthology include Sit and Spin by N.T. Mortley, Good Kitty by Shanna Germain, and Marked by Donna George Storey.
If you have an aversion to graphic depictions of sexual acts and strong language then I do not recommend this book for you. If you are looking to take a walk on the wild side when it comes to your choice in books then I highly recommend this book. But please be advised that some of these stories are not for the squeamish either. This book is all wild and contains no frivolity. But if you are interest in reading a book with lots of kink that you can finish in no time, this is the book for you.
