Review: Landscaper in Paradise

I was looking forward to this one, and I was not disappointed!

Landscaper in Paradise by Robin Stone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this final installment with trepidation because I couldn't imagine what kind of ending would satisfy me after three super hot, romantic books. How could a story of polyamory end happily, with all parties satisfied? Robin Stone nailed it.

Just like the other books, this one is filled with scorching sex and deep feelings, but in this one, we finally see Eric opening up and expressing his feelings. It packed a punch.

The Landscaper is one of the best series of erotica I've read. And I'll probably reread it.

Review: Landscaper in Love

Landscaper in Love by Robin Stone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m a big fan of M/M stories—both writing them and reading them. In this series, there is a lot of M/F action (which is excellent), but what keeps me coming back for more is the M/M romance. This one is special. It’s uncertain at times. At others, they both know exactly what they need. The other thing I enjoy is the power struggle between the two men. Kyle is happy to let Eric dictate the action with his wife, be each tries to be the alpha at one time or another. It makes for some panty-dripping hot scenes.

My criticism about this series is that it has the feel of one cohesive novel to me. Not a series of shorter works. That’s just my opinion though, and it doesn’t affect the heat these books generate.

I love the characters. The writing is super-slick. The sex is hot, hot, hot. I highly recommend this series, and I can’t wait for the conclusion.

Review: Landscaper in Lust

Landscaper in Lust by Robin Stone

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I started Book 2 for the second time as soon as I could get it to load on my Kindle. This book leaves the first in its dust. In the first, I had the sense that the story was there to hold the sex together. In this one, I realized that the sex TELLS THE STORY in a delightfully subtle way. The sex escalates from Eric watching Kyle and Tracy from the sidelines to MFM action with both men--one rich and sophisticated, one a scruffy, hard-working man with dirty boots--in the bed, sharing a beautiful woman.

In my review of Book 1, I said (more than once) that the sex pushed my personal kink buttons. When it dawned on me that the men would come together in this one, it was as though Stone had answered a personal kink request. I LOVE M/M erotica, and in Lust, the author inches the reader closer and closer to watching these two sexy men do it. I squirmed all the way through the book, and when it ended with a promise of more, I nearly cried.

In addition to the smoking hot sex (and clean, slick writing), this book makes the reader FEEL right along with the characters. I am in love with all three of them, desperate to know if Eric and Tracy have the same feelings for Kyle that he (and I) have for both of them.

This is a short book, but it delivers a truck load of heat and emotion. I need the third book now. (I believe it's called Landscaper in Love. I like where this series is going. So, so much.)

Review: The Landscaper

The Landscaper by Robin Stone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I started Book 2 without realizing there was a first book. I read this: "The last time I saw Eric, I put his wife over my lap and spanked her, finger-fucked her, and pounded her until she screamed." I stopped right there. That one sentence pushed enough buttons to make me go back and read Book 1 first.

Book 1 is mostly sex. In the first few pages, I thought I was reading a typical "bored-rich-housewife-fucks-the-help" story. Said housewife soon lets her boy toy know that there is so much more going on--her husband was watching, and he wants a better seat next time. As I read, I thought there was just enough action outside of the sex to hold together a really smutty book, but Stone hit on so many of my own personal kinks, it didn't matter.

In addition to sex so hot it made me squirm in my chair, I was impressed with Stone's clean, slick writing. There's nothing extra here. It's short, not because it lacks detail or story, but because there's no filler. The author (and the main character) get the hell out of the way as soon as the orgasms are out of the way. But there is a story here. A landscaper who needs money gets paid to fuck a rich wife while hubby watches, but then he wants to pursue a girlfriend. Just enough tension to propel the story forward.

I'm just glad the second book was already on my Kindle when I finished this one. I couldn't have waited. Not patientlee, anyway. *wink*

Review: The Present

The Present by Patrick Khayler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book made me late for after school care pick up because I sat in the car finishing it! It is unbelievably hot, from the beginning to the very last page. It is my favorite kind of erotica- totally possible under implausible circumstances. Khayler adds authenticity by weaving the mundane of daily family life and work with fantasy, memories of past sexual escapades, and the anticipation of a hot, hot night.

The underlying love story of two people wrapped up in real life--kids, jobs, responsibilities--sang through the heat of the crazy menage sex. Throughout the book, you get a sense that the author is writing from experience. In the early chapters, he details the awkward beauty of the couple's first time together. It was like a look into a real past that blossomed into a happy lifetime, seasoned with hot fantasies.

The narrative was bulky in spots, but the sex was so hot, it didn't matter. Khayler's writing is slick and easy to read.

If you are in the mood for wet panties, read this book.
