Ravens In The Rain: A Noir Love Story by Christie Santo & Jeff Santo
Ravens In The Rain is an unconventional noir between a woman with a past and a man with no future where love is no fairy tale. Carney and Pru, down on luck and down on love, meet over a game of chance, and the mystery of the other’s intentions, compounded by their overwhelming attraction toward each other, compels them into a game of cat and mouse. They ante up and play this game of love or survival that has you wondering who’s the villain and who’s the hero and how it will all play out. When murder is brought to their doorstep, the game gets serious.
Swinging Sanity by N.F.Mirza

And out poured poetry.

Forbidden Thoughts: A Book of Erotic Shorts and Poetry by A.I Robertson
This book is filled with steamy erotic stories and poetry that explore a common thread; dominance, and subjugation.
Sometimes the thread is a subtle one as in the short story ‘Game of Hearts’. Where a wood-be suitor confronts his queen and lays his life on the line in hopes of winning her affection. A sweet story with characters you may have run across before. Or in the cuckolding short story ‘Not what I was expecting’ that deals with an unfaithful man who, returning home, discovers his wife has been carrying on her own affair for some time. How he deals with their newfound roles and the unique twist that lies therein definitely fits the thread.
Then again, sometimes it’s more apparent and direct as in the poem ‘Stalker’ that details the inner workings of a mild-mannered man’s psyche as he plans to dominate the striking young woman he sees at the coffee shop. Or in the vignette ‘Anticipation’ where the lead character must undergo a regiment of psychological and emotional trials as an initiate of an inner circle of demanding and frustratingly teasing mistresses.
All of these stories and poems fit together, woven just so, to create a patchwork quilt of erotic power plays and domination. Forbidden thoughts is an anthology and contain the following stories and poems:
– Stalker
– A Game of Hearts
– Taking Him, Home
– Stalker
– Not What I Was Expecting
– Sounds
