WHISPERS COLLECTION NO 1: EROTIC SHORT STORIES is a
collection of five short stories, all by the same author.
They are all erotic fantasies but take place in different
time periods, and I feel like they each strike different
tones and showcase the versatility of Carolyn Jewel. The
female main characters in each story are all very different
types of women. Demon Lover & My Goblin Boyfriend were
my favorite and I would have loved it if they would have
been turned into full length stories. The two are very
different but I enjoyed them both very much.
Demon Lover is set in New Orleans in the year 1859. I think
it has a deliciously gothic feel to it. My Goblin Boyfriend
is
narrated in a very fun way, and there is a wonderful dark
paranormal sexiness to it. I would love to read more
stories set in that world. I was intrigued with the goblin
in this story and was left wondering what his story was and
who was hunting him.
The setup for the story Inigo the
Magician is very Tales from the Crypt spooky for me.
Later, it takes on the feel of one of the author's My
Immortals series -- of which I am a fan. I think this story
illustrates how this author can put an interesting and very
different spin on submission and domination.
Constance is
set in the distant past. For me, it has a very serious tone
to it, and the ending is very conventional. The Wild has
a very hard edge to it, almost what I'd describe as a
feeling of sexual menace.
It's definitely not for everyone.
Overall, I enjoyed the diversity of these stories, and hope
the author might revisit one or two of them and turn them
into full length novels.
Five graphic, erotic, romantic, short stories from Carolyn
Jewel. Don’t read these if you’re disturbed by strong,
possibly offensive, sexual content. Really. Don’t. INIGO THE
MAGICIAN: A demon delivers on an ice-cold revenge after a
magician uses him and a human woman to satisfy his sexual
perversions. Six months later, she’s not even close to
recovered, he’s free and their first meeting is a volatile
combination of minds, bodies, and the consequences of a
promise made. DEMON LOVER: New Orleans, 1859. At nearly
twenty-eight, Zoe remains at home to support her widowed
father. She longs for something more in her life. David

client of her father’s and is often at the house, but Zoe
believes she’s safe from his wickedness. She’s not. MY
GOBLIN BOYFRIEND: ‘My Goblin Boyfriend’ should say it all,
but in case it doesn’t, Violet finds out first-hand why
goblins have a rep for mastery in the bedroom after she
finds an injured goblin passed out on her porch. She does
the right thing for everyone involved and nurses him back to
health. He’s big, strong, definitely not-human, and not shy
at all. Features goblin sex. Doh. CONSTANCE: In Edwardian-
era America, Nathan reluctantly agrees to seduce and
impregnate his good friend’s cousin. As he comes to know and
like the woman, her tragic past changes him forever. THE
WILD: An unrepentant werewolf finds the woman of his dreams.
She needs the kind of pain only he can deliver--- As long as
she’s willing to get Wild with him. Not for the faint of
heart. Includes werewolf sex
