My review:

I listened to this audio several weeks ago and have let it settle before sitting down to write the review.  To be clear – I listen to plenty of erotic content.  Very little offends my senses.  But I tend to read erotic – not erotica.  And there is a difference – I like my happy endings.  That being said, this was a noteworthy collection of short stories, so I dove in.

The stories were varied and, to say the least, not for the faint of heart.  But if you love some down and dirty with a definite mix of creativity, then this might just be the collection for you.  The settings were diverse, the characters interesting, and some of the stories memorable. (I’ll never forget the puppy one.)

I would probably try more stories from this author which is always the mark of something that has piqued my interest.  And I thought the narrator, Pavi Proczko did a good job.  I’ve never heard him before but won’t hesitate to pick up anything narrated by him that strikes my fancy.

This listen won’t be for everyone, but if you’re looking for some quick dirty gay stories then this book is for you.

My rating:

8/10 Pots of Gold – Compares to 4/5 Stars
