Blurb: Performance Review: Mark goes to work for a friend. It’s a mistake. He’s given an ultimatum that is doomed to fail. After the performance review, he catches the owner’s wife having sex with the shop foreman. With nothing left to lose, he takes advantage of the situation and teaches her a lesson.


Spank: For years, Colleen has yearned to know the stinging sensation of a disciplinary hand against her flesh. Tonight she gets her wish, but is she brave enough to submit to a true Dominant?

Review: Performance Review is not a romance, but a titillating story of just desserts. A little over the top, but that is what makes this story fun. Unrealistic expectations make Mark take the upper hand with the boss’s wife. While they are aroused during their encounter, and it’s a spanking scene that will make you flinch in a deliciously punished way, these two are not involved. It’s about getting what you deserve. For Mark, it’s the final act on an unworkable situation. I cheered him on.

In Spank we get a hot little office encounter. It’s erotic, short yet I got the whole story behind the story. The characters were fun and described well. The sexual situation was erotic. I enjoyed both of the stories equally and thought they were well matched together.

Blurb: Dealing with business problems and a romantic betrayal leaves Diahann Marshall frustrated. Her sister suggests she order takeout and feast on a handsome delivery boy, but Diahann doesn’t expect the restaurant’s owner to show up at her door.

Sun Li believes in a strong work ethic, it’s why he delivers Chinese food when his employees are sick. Meeting lovely customers is a plus, but when Sun realizes Diahann thinks he is a lowly delivery boy he is determined to help save her ice cream parlor, and win her heart.

Review: Nice little shorty with a cute story plot. I have to say that when Diahann basically tells Sun that she can't get involved with him because as a business owner she has responsabilities, I lost a little respect for her. BUT.......I also understand her feelings becasue she is worried about loosing the shop, the jerk ex of hers, and all the other pressures that she has.

All in all I liked the tale. I felt the pressures, the pleasures, the heart ache and the glee. Definitly a shorty that is worth a look :)
