Charlotte Stein is known for her deeply emotional, unbarred perspective on passion and sex in her stories. TELLING TALES follows along the same lines. Allie and a few of her college friends go to visit a mansion that their good professor passed on to them in his will. Reunited with her friends puts her in close proximity to the man she has always held a torch for.

Wade is the kind of man who always gets what he wants. But perhaps it is a case of being too late when Allie finds an interest in Cam, their other mutual friend in this book. Shy and more conservative, Cam lies on the opposite spectrum in terms of personality with Wade. There is also Kitty, Allie's other best friend whose name is well-suited to her as she is quite the sex kitten. As sexual tension mount between the four of them and there are many experimental moments shared, there is the question of who Allie will pick between Wade and Cam.

In a seductive exploration with multiple partners, Stein doesn't hold back when she pens her sex scenes. Each scene explores Allie's emotions and conflicts while also delivering intensely erotic passion that will make any reader blush.

TELLING TALES has become one of my favourite stories from Charlotte Stein and definitely be one sitting on my keeper shelf for years to come.
