ACQUIRING BESS - Dolly Sinclaire

 This is a very short erotica story set in the U.S. wild west.  A woman is preparing to set up her own group of saloon girls and treats a wealthy, local man to what will be in store, to establish some good will and to help spread the word.

I wasn't expecting too much from this, especially given how short the book is, but I really liked this. For something so short, the characters (two of them at least) were really well defined and the sex was really well written.

I'm a convert ... I'll be looking for more books by author Dolly Sinclaire - especially any more in the 'Bonanza Saloon Girls' series.

CARRIE'S GAP YEAR PART 1: THAILAND - Lucy Xane

 Carrie is a young co-ed on her gap year from uni and she's exploring.  Exploring countries. Exploring sex. She's down for anything and tries everything.

This is pure porn with a very simple concept (gap year) to get our leading character from one place to another to meet new people.

It's pretty amazing how everyone she meets (her age, male and female) are all as open sexually as she is.  She tends to observe other people having sex (no one seems to mind) and then when they notice her they invite her to join. That's the basic concept.

As porn, this was pretty good, though it got to be a little too much of the same thing after a bit.  This could actually be a shorter book (I know - it's already pretty short) so that there's not so much repetition.

Also, I know it's a cultural thing, but as a U.S. reader, the word "knickers" is not very sexy. Carrie (or others) is constantly taking off her knickers. You could just as well say she's taking off her granny panties - it sounds so UNsexy.

Would I read others in the series? Yes. Am I anxious to buy them all? No.
