Book Review: K is for Kinky by Alison Tyler (ed.)

By

K is for KinkyThis sexy anthology, edited by Alison Tyler, contains fourteen erotic stories, all centred around the theme of kink. Naturally, this is a pretty broad topic, and I’m glad to say that the stories that Tyler chose for the collection are all incredibly varied.

Kinks featured include being written on, submission, pony play, watersports (yes, that kind), spanking and much, much more. Authors include Saskia Walker, Donna George Storey, Mathilde Madden, Emerald, Jeremy Edwards, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Shanna Germain and Alison Tyler herself. All the stories were well-written and edited, and, as I mentioned before, the variety between the stories is great – some of the kinks covered are at the more gentle end of the spectrum, and others are pretty hardcore. As a result, not every story will be for everyone – as is always the way in anthologies, I feel – but erotica fans will undoubtedly find something to float their boat between the pages of this hot collection. Recommended for fans of the genre.

What Do You Write? by Alison Tyler (@alisontyler)

What do you write?Those Boys

People ask me this all the time.

What do you write?

I write words.

That’s my go-to response. I put the words on the page. Then I look at them. Then I cross them out and write new words. Sometimes the words come so fast that people watch me type. (I take my little laptop out in public, find a corner of a local bar, and pound the keyboard.) Sometimes, I bite my lip in concentration while I work.

But what genre do you write?

There was a time when I’d answer that. When I’d do my very best to label the words. Now, I simply say, I write stories. Stories about people who fall in love. People who get what they need. People who are desperate, yearning, unsatisfied, scared. I put them on the paper and then I give them what they want.

With “Those Boys,” the people were Rem, Sandy, and Vanessa:

I stayed silent. I’d put the whole world in Rem’s hands. I couldn’t wait to see where he’d take us.

Rem said, “Roll over,” to Vanessa. She immediately went on her hands and knees on the sofa, facing away from him.

“I can fuck her?” he asked me.

“Yes, of course.”

“Her pussy or her ass?”

“Yes.”

He looked at me.

“Her ass is your ass as the saying goes,” I told him.

“And then….”

“And then….” I repeated.

“You’ll fuck mine?”

We were here so quickly. It took every bit of willpower I had not to stride over and kiss the boy fully on the mouth, to cradle his face, to go all romantic. I had thought we might have to ease him in. I had guessed he might need a little while paddling in the shallow end before he was ready to breaststroke with the sharks.

But look at that. He undressed, and I won my first view of his naked body. He had a reason to be proud. I’ll give him that. There were tattoos all over his chest and back and arms—colorful, twisting images that I wanted to learn, to memorize. But not yet. Right now, we were going to discover the images in his twisted head instead….

Meet Sandy in Those Girls.

Follow him and Vanessa in Those Boys.

Learn about his history in Those Days (coming in 2015 from Go Deeper Press).

Name Your Poison

The Delicious TormentWords never fail me. I trust them completely. I trace them with my fingertips on my upper thigh when I’m nervous. I draw them on my skin using a black BiC pen while stuck in traffic.

Words are my friends.

When I listen to the radio, I note any unusual words found in rock songs. Sting uses terms like “luster.” I drive and roll the word in my mouth—luster. In “I Will Buy You a New Life,” Everclear repeats words. I speak the lines like a mantra as the road unwinds in front of me.

But Jack used words against me. While I can write from one dark sky to the next, speaking those words out loud is a hardship. My tongue trips over the hurdles. I sprawl on the asphalt, knees scraped, palms raw….

Dark Secret LoveThe Definition of Sexy By Alison Tyler

I took great pleasure in the fact that Byron hated Connor, that he called him dumb, clearly intimidated because Connor was so handsome—and this is the funny thing. I’ve never been into handsome. I’m much more of a Billy Bob Thornton than a Brad Pitt sort of girl. But Connor was a modern James Dean, blonde and blue-eyed and almost angelic, the kind of stunning that turns heads. I didn’t want him for those reasons. I craved him because he saw something in me, even at my most beaten down, and he went after me. I have a photo of him following a night of no sleep. He’s wearing black jeans and no shirt under an open blazer, and he’s smoking a cigarette, but barely, the butt dangling from his lower lip. He has that insolent fuck you look that has always made me wet in a heartbeat.—Dark Secret Love

Book Review: Morning, Noon and Night, edited by Alison Tyler

By

Morning, Noon and NightThe premise of Morning, Noon and Night is excellent. There’s a story for every hour of the day, beginning at 4 a.m., and also a bonus story called 24/7. So this is a book packed full of twenty-five unique stories taking place throughout the day. Yummy. Authors contributing include Aisling Weaver, Heidi Champa, Justine Elyot, Donna George Storey, Jeremy Edwards, Kristina Lloyd, Sommer Marsden, Ashley Lister, Alison Tyler, of course, and many more.

There’s action in beds, coffee shops, kitchens, offices, in cars… the list goes on. I loved how the hour of the day was integral to each naughty tale, how some stories were just about sex, others more romantic, some risky sex, some not. The variety was what made this anthology most interesting, and, of course, the quality. With authors like the ones I mentioned above involved, this was always going to be a top-notch anthology.

Particular favourites were Five a.m. Walk of Shame by Dante Davidson, which is supremely hot and has a nice twist. Nine a.m. Office Briefing, by Justine Elyot, is a luscious office-based tale which will pique the interest of anyone that works in an office, or who has ever worked in that setting. Serious fantasy fodder. One p.m. Test Drive by Angell Brooks had another interesting setting, and one that I suspect is a common fantasy, and one that more people than they perhaps care to admit have indulged in!

Overall, this is an anthology I’d definitely recommend erotica and erotic romance fans to check out. As I said before, the variety is great, the quality is high, and there’s definitely something in here to scratch everyone’s itch. A lot of imagination has gone into this book, and I commend Alison Tyler for coming up with the idea. Hot stuff!
