Royal
couple Jorah and Elise have been trying to produce a royal heir with no success.
Elise is convinced it’s Jorah’s problem, so in order to secure their claim to
the throne she convinces Jorah to let her be serviced by multiple men in an
out-of-the-way tavern while he watches.
Who
doesn’t love a good cuckold story? I know I do. However, this one is only ok. The
sex isn’t too bad, but the writing is choppy and the POVs change too abruptly
and often. Some further editing would have made this story a hot little
vignette instead of just eh.

Vyder
Ironstone is a big highlander, rich and successful at what he does. Did I
mention he’s an assassin? Yeah. He’s not someone you want coming after you.
When the Prince is abducted and the King hires Vyder to retrieve him he knows
this may be the one job that is too much for him. However, he does so love a
challenge.
More,
more, more. I want more of Vyder Ironstone. I love the world, the writing and
most of all, Vyder. He’s fascinating and I am looking forward to continuing
with him on his mission. My only complaint is the ending to this short intro.
It stopped abruptly, like climbing a hill and finding a 100’ drop as soon as
you crest the top. Ending it right before the confrontation or after would have
much more acceptable to me, but then abrupt stops are one of my biggest pet
peeves. Call me old-fashioned, but every story, no matter how short, should
have a beginning, middle and end. Yeah, so not a fan of cliffhangers. Other than
that, I loved this tale.

Ben
Coburn has been in many B-rated horror movies. With his large build and less
than handsome face he has been regulated to playing the big baddies of the big
screen. He spends his days waiting, always waiting until the day he decides
he’s not going to wait any more.
First
off, I’ll say that this is well-written. Just because I didn’t understand what
the hell was going on does not detract from that point at all. Because I’m not
typically into horror, I have the feeling I’m missing something big and that’s
my fault. It’s not the first time I was lost reading this genre and I’m sure it
won’t be the last. But I’ll keep trying. The ending did freak me out. Didn’t
see that coming at all. Two thumbs up for that.
