Another Fab Review of The Great Outdoors!

The Great Outdoors22nd August 2010 – Fabulous news – eBook Addict reviewed my little antho, The Great Outdoors, and they liked it!

Here’s what they had to say:

The two short stories offered in The Great Outdoors was a walk on the wild side or more accurately two hikes down a fun erotic path of adventurous sex. “A Birds Eye View” and “Fun in the Forest” are tales of eager and uninhibited heroines taking advantage of serendipitous events that afford them uniquely different sexual interludes. “A Bird’s Eye View” was a hot charge of adrenalin that ended on an embarrassingly funny note.  I could see this happening in reality. “Fun in the Forest” is the longer of the two works (though the entire offering is only about 12 pages long) and my favorite.  A Scottish gamekeeper helping a damsel in distress conjured erotic images of Gerard Butler and a mature Sean Connery for me. What can I say?  It’s that accent, yummy!  British colloquialism/verbiage “…a good seeing to” and “doodle” put me in the appropriate frame of mind and setting and I was in the thick of the adventures in no time. The Great Outdoors is a quick fun read I thoroughly enjoyed.  Rule Britannia, Ms. Felthouse!

Overall, lots of nice compliments for my work and the highlight of my day. Can I get a squee??

Yay – Lovely Review of The Great Outdoors!

Well, today has been a very nice day indeed! The lovely Justine Elyot reviewed my lil eBook The Great Outdoors on Smashwords! Here’s what she had to say:

No chance of the characters in Lucy Felthouse’s pair of outdoor-themed erotic stories catching a chill! These girls know exactly how to warm up. The first story, Bird’s Eye View, is a deliciously explicit account of an unexpected opportunity for some voyeurism – and it CRIES OUT for a sequel. I, for one, would love to know what happens during Karla and Tom’s woodland stroll. In Fun In The Forest, Anna rejects a team-building exercise in favour of a little one-on-one with a sexy burly Scots woodsman. It’s all good dirty fun and has certainly inspired me to take a tramp in my local woods as soon as possible.

I’m officially squee-ing!! The book costs just $1.49 on Smashwords, which works out at less than £1! Bargain. It’s also available on Kindle, for $3.51 (Amazon’s idea, not mine!), which is about £2.30. So if you’re looking for some outdoors smut, you’ve come to the right place!

In other good news, I found out that a story of mine has been accepted for publication by Ravenous Romance! You may remember I had a story accepted last year in their lesbian anthology, I Kissed A Girl? Well, this time, my story Shattered Resistance is going into supernatural anthology Fangbangers. I’m very, very excited – I had a peek through the manuscript and let’s just say I’m in very good company! I’m not sure of the release date yet,  but I’ll be sure and let you know as soon I do!

Right, onto my next story… a non-erotic love story, believe it or not. Just an experiment, don’t worry – I haven’t gone mad (any more than usual, anyway).

Sex Toy Review: Fun Factory SmartBalls Teneo Duo

Fun Factory SmartBalls Teneo DuoThe lovely lot at Sh! Women’s Erotic Emporium sent me some love eggs/love balls to try out. And here they are: the Fun Factory SmartBalls Teneo Duo. Yes, quite the mouthful… but that’s not where they go! 😉

No, these little babies are to put… well, up *there.* They have a couple of uses: they can tighten up your bits after childbirth; give you longer stronger orgasms; or they can make you feel a bit naughty. So really, they’re capable of multi-tasking and will make you smile.

Some women wear these as a game, that is, they’ll wear them out somewhere, and feel smug in the knowledge that they’re getting pleasure out of them and nobody else even knows they’re there! Or they’ll let on to their other half and enjoy the shocked reaction. Which, let’s be honest, will probably pretty quickly turn to arousal… so a bonus all round really!

I think the idea of love balls/eggs is great, but the reality isn’t so hot with this particular model. Normally, Fun Factory stuff is fab, and there’s no denying that these SmartBalls are really well made. It’s just that they’re not that comfortable. They feel sturdy, and the loop for removing them feels strong enough that it won’t snap if your lady bits give some resistance. However, the actual ‘balls’ are quite large, and not very smooth. For this reason they’re not very easy to insert and can scrape against your most delicate parts both on insertion and removal, which naturally isn’t ideal.

A shame, really, because the idea of exercise balls is great, and the manufacturer has a great reputation, it’s just this particular model doesn’t really live up to expectations. These might suit some women, but those of you who are like me and enjoy comfort, particularly in matters of the downstairs, you might want to give these a miss.

Check out the Fun Factory SmartBalls: Teneo Duo on Sh!’s website, or pop in and see them if you’re in the London area. They’re currently retailing at £16.
