A fairly well-written novel

Revisado: 08-22-16

The Master’s Toy is part of a longer work entitled By Invitation Only. To some extent the title is a little misleading; I don’t think it would be unreasonable for a listener to expect that they were in for generous samplings of domination and submission as well as other related naughtiness over the 8 1/2 hour length of this audiobook. But that is not the case, alas. There is some of that toward the beginning, but most of the varied sexual aspects depicted in the balance of the story are not particularly kinky, and often lightly touched upon on or somewhat in the background.

To the author’s credit, this is a fairly well-written novel with a plot that happens to have erotic scenarios in realistic settings under plausible circumstances. Unfortunately, most of them are not of the type that the title implies. So if any sex is good sex is what you’re after then it delivers, but if you’re hoping to be immersed in the tale of a submissive toy being put through her paces, not so much.

Beyond the shortage of kink, my main criticisms of this book are the over-long passage chronicling the comeuppance of a stereotyped villain, a tendency toward expository minutiae, and a vaguely pedantic tone when articulating D/s sensibilities. For me at least, the best part of this audiobook is Sierra Kline’s narration. She does a superlative job with the many voices―both genders, diverse ages and a range of personality types.

Fun and sexy lesbian erotica

Revisado: 01-27-16

The Interrogation is a short and sexy audiobook detailing an unconventional encounter that leads to a romantic relationship between two women, one a starving student and the other the head of security for a facility where the student is caught stealing food. While there is initially an implied blackmail scenario floated, ultimately their mutual attraction and a spontaneous sexual liaison indicate they are destined to be long-term lovers. This is an entertaining story for listeners who enjoy lesbian erotica.

YA Interracial Lesbian Naughtiness

Revisado: 12-08-15

The Inquiry is a languidly paced story chronicling the events leading up to the beginning of a roommates with benefits arrangement. The story and characters have an authenticity that makes this an enjoyable audiobook. Primarily during the exposition segments, the narration was a little stiff and uneven, but it picked up during the erotic portions.

Erotica with an old-fashioned ambience

Revisado: 11-26-15

The Transformation of David is a short audiobook with a sort of old-fashioned erotic ambience. During WW II a British soldier learns from a remote tribe in Burma the secret of switching the bodies of two people. On hard times following the war, he hatches a plot to further exploit an opportunity to be the guardian of a wealthy orphan by using this power to switch his own daughter into the body of his new ward. His machinations are more diabolical than just seizing control of the boy’s fortune; both he and his transformed daughter use the newly female heir sexually as well.

Of course, that is the erotic aspect of this story. The victim of this unsavory father-daughter team is rescued relatively quickly and changed back into his own body, but not before being deflowered in every orifice and loving every minute of the ordeal. After the malefactors get their comeuppance, his rescuers enable him to periodically experience becoming a woman for short periods, an option which he exercises late into his life.

Although the sexual exploitation feature is a bit off-putting, once you get past that the story is fairly enjoyable. Considering the diversity of characters whose voices she had to simulate, Cheyanne Humble’s narration was exceptional. For me, the mostly genteel language used to reference genitalia and rather coarse sexual activities provided a touch of unintended humor.
