I cannot begin to tell you how this short story collection came across my doorstep or rather my Google Nexus tablet. I think I read a chapter as a sample after grabbing a kindle version of some bdsm themed books. Regardless of how the stories took root in my kindle library let me just say if you want a read that keeps you entertained a touch bit on the horny side for 400 plus pages you should definitely look into the first season of Fantasy Heights. I did say season because season two is underway but I have literally no patience for the new stories to come out piecemeal I won’t be reading those until season two is completed.
Now back to the review. We are introduced to our heroine Amanda who has just found out that her fiance has been fucking her stepsister and plans to marry the younger woman instead of her. She stumbles upon a “wish fulfillment” firm of the highest order and quickly becomes pulled in by the lust, beautiful bodies and best of all her for her new challenges. Having never experienced that lack of abandon I found myself smiling as she experienced things that made her feel wanton and uninhibited. That is not to say they were tame by any stretch of the imagination but I was just happy that I never felt that limited in my sexual experiences by former partners.
She is joined by an interesting assortment of cast mates who all seem to be hiding a host of secrets that could prove to be far more than just bitchy. The two that drive her story the most are Thomas, her trainer who seems to enjoy tormenting her, and Josh someone she initially mistakes for a bit player. The two men are friends and very loyal to one another but find themselves captivated by Amanda for their own reasons. I found most of that triad to be compelling and believable. There are places where I felt like it could have been pushed in a different direction one way or the other but all of it resolves for the best.
I actually enjoyed the writing and the fact that I wasn’t quite sure how it was all going to play out. I hate when I can figure out the plot well before I get there. I wasn’t seeing one of the twists coming which made me excited from a lover of tight writing but pissed as a person who had bought into the characters but it makes sense now as this person kind of just vanished from the primary story. Beyond the fact that it was just overall very well done and kept my attention for the weeks of my hectic schedule that it took for me to finish reading, I have to thank Meg Silver for giving me hope that there is a market out there for a string of connected short stories.
If you need a good read and like to be challenged a bit give Fantasy Heights a try. If all of this was available at Fantasy Island I would have bought real estate there and just prayed that my day job didn’t cut into my orgasms.
