valarltdPretty good ones, even, from Two Lips:
Tuition Fees: The Devil
Christian McIntosh has received an offer he can’t refuse – acceptance to The Academy without any expense to himself. However, Chris can’t recall ever applying to this institution but that’s not going to keep him from accepting this offer. When Chris finally arrives, he finds himself surrounded by twelve other young men who are exceptional in their chosen fields of study, but as the days pass and turn into years Chris realizes the price for this education. Will he pay it willingly?
"Tuition Fees: The Devil" is a dark and complex tale with allusions to the many forms of evil. Chris is a young man who will pique your interest with his story and his love interests. Angelia Sparrow and Naomi Brooks have done a wonderful job of presenting the many manifestations evil can take and how it can be disguised in a pleasing package. "Tuition Fees: The Devil" is not a book for everyone with it’s [sic] strong play on religion, but it is a very good book for a day when a thought provoking read is what you are looking for.
Sappho's Chest
Rewriting Old Songs
A routine truck driver and a frustrated waitress find refuge in one another.
Toy Shop
There’s a first time for everything and everyone. The alluring display in Adria’s Toy Shop tempts Sianna day by day as she drives to and from work but it’s her imagination that pushes her explorations.
Spike
Have a shoe fetish? So does Sam. And when she sees the black leather stilettos only one thing will make them perfect: her lover, Lisa.
This collection of engaging stories will appease any girl’s lonely night or fuel the foreplay for any couple. "Toy Box: Sappho’s Chest" presents stories by Angelia Sparrow, Margaret Leigh and Jodi Payne that range from mildly hot to seductively dominating. Sparrow, Leigh and Payne use a range of characters, places and settings to tease, tantalize and transport readers into the world of sexual yet romantic fantasy. Each author displays a talent for short story technique (including a beginning, middle and end), point of view and quality that drives these creative pieces from A to Z succinctly and with solid consistency.
Is it bad when all they can find to talk about is the talent for the form and the PoV? "Succint and solily consistant?" that's a nice way of saying "workman-like but boring."
