Johnny Stone's "Steam & Spurs" Showcased on New Blog

I am a huge fan of Johnny Stone's work and I was more than thrilled to see his work showcased on Pink Flamingo's new "Fiona's Forgotten Favorites" blog. Fiona is the Editorial & Ebook Manager for Pink Flamingo Publications. Johnny Stone was the first "Forgotten Favorites" Author for her new blog! Thank you, Fiona! I was very happy to see Mr. Stone's work selected as one of your favorites.

"On bedside tables for almost 20 years!: Fiona's Forgotten Favorites: Fiona's Forgotten Favorites is a new Feature on the Pink Flamingo Blog that is going to be full of books (and a lot of alliteration)...

Fiona's Forgotten Favorites is a new Feature on the Pink Flamingo Blog that is going to be full of books (and a lot of alliteration) that I've personally read/edited that have fallen between the cracks.

The first FFF (see, again with the alliteration) is Steam & Spurs by Johnny Stone. You may have read Johnny's other books: The Devil's Dance, Slave World or Misadventures in Infidelity. If you haven't read them, I highly suggest you do.

Johnny Stone is an author unlike any I've read before. Not only does he put in high-powered sex scenes into his books, but he writes about settings and places that most authors don't want to think about touching. What sets Johnny apart from a lot of the erotica world is he pours himself into his writing. He's taken his experience and made them into kinky words that stimulate more than your genitals; it stimulates your mind. Granted, his writing isn't for everyone. I, however, am a fan.

"Master" Falls Short...

Master by Raven McAllen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book barely gets 3 stars from me.

It started out fairly decent, but Anna, the main female lead, her *constant* whining and threats of vomiting every 2 minutes. Her wishy washy ways. Her running away, running out, ducking and hiding, then all at once popping up and confronting, constant blaming of everyone and taking none herself... then you add in, if she wasn't whining she was demanding of everyone including Cade (who by the way struck me as a very weak Dom.. not something I'm used to in the least), constantly, drove me to distraction.

I couldn't get attached to a single character in this book. But if I had to pick one, then Athol was the best character by far. In the beginning I was under the assumption that he was actually a submissive male. "effeminate looks" "looks like a 12 year old", made mention of not upsetting a (his?) Dom, just the undertone led me to believe he was submissive, or maybe a switch.

He agreed to go with Anna into the club as a Dom, her simpering ways that turned far more than "bratty", didn't have me feeling any sympathy for her at all. Later he agrees to council her, help her fight her "demons" of which she has many. And all of the sudden, He's in full on Dom mode.

By the time I got 70% in (I really was trying to give it a fair chance by actually finishing it) I was skimming pages. By the time it got to Her and Cade actually getting back together and having their first scene and sex, I was over it.

There was too much angst in this book, too much time spent on Anna being negative and Cade being weak. There were many times this book could have "wrapped it up" and ended. But it just dragged on and on.

The concept of the book, the main idea was a good one, but it was just too drawn out. This would have been better as a *shorter* story.
