Book Blurb

Anthony’s had the day from hell at his call center job, and he plans to drink away the memory, so he finds the nearest club and gets started. Lucky for him there’s an attractive man in the crowd who’s willing to act without too many questions. A hot trip to the back of the bar and some heavy action is in order.

 

The next morning Anthony wakes in an unfamiliar bed to a hellish headache and the heavenly scent of coffee. He didn’t ask questions the night before, so why ask them now? Okay, maybe one. Why does his attractive one-night stand have feathers?

 

 

A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2016 Daily Dose package “A Walk on the Wild Side”.


Book Review

I can't begin to tell you how much fun I've been having with this year's Dreamspinner Press Daily Dose package, 'A Walk on the Wild Side'. These stories range in length but they each are creative, witty, sometimes downright hilarious, and sexy. In essence, exactly what I needed!

I felt for Anthony, I really did. I can't imagine anything worse than working in a call center. He has to remain professional at all times, but the caller can be as horrible as they want to be, and there are no repercussions for them. I get it, I do. We all get frustrated. Hollering at the person on the other end of the phone, who can't miraculously fix your problem, is not the way to handle it. So I was right there with Anthony in that club getting drunk. I'm a very empathetic drinker. *grins*

Anthony was so cute with his liquid courage in picking up the total hottie on the dance floor and then, gasp!, going to the back room with him. I loved his mental ramblings to himself and it got even better when he woke in a strange place. I'm not going to reveal what happened next, but I can say that Anthony was fairly calm throughout, and I gave him huge kudos for that.

As much as I had fun with this, I really would have liked it to be longer. I felt like there was more to the story of Anthony and Brad, and I certainly would have enjoyed reading it. All in all though, it was a creative short story.
