The people at Breathless Press were kind enough to send me a few of their shorter length books for review. And since Tracy from Tracy's Place is a much more skilled reviewer than I am when it comes to these particular books, I asked her if she wouldn't mind reading and reviewing them here for a guest review post.
For your reading pleasure, some quickie reviews by Tracy...

Harder by Jamieson Wolf. This is a great m/m erotic short story (7 pages) that had me smiling most of the time. Owen has the hots for co-worker Sebastian but Owen believes that Sebastian is straight. That doesn't stop him from having fantasies about the other man. One day when Owen is in the bathroom he catches a glimpse of a large cock and when he looks it just happens to be Sebastian’s! Sebastian and Owen have a hot experience in the bathroom right then and there and it doesn't stop there. Although this was a very short story it was just fun. I'll be reading more from Mr. Wolf in the future.

The Soldier's Return by Ava Delany. An incredibly short story at only 2.5 pages that tells of a woman who's waiting for her husband's return after a long absence. We know he's in the military of some sort and that he's been gone for a while but we don't know how long. She jumps him when he walks in the door and they have hot sex. It's a pretty straight forward erotic story and a cute homecoming - but it seemed like it was over before it began.

Some of these sounded interesting so I followed the links. But $2.95 for 7 pages and $1.45 for 2.5 pages is taking readers for a ride. Sorry Breathless, I won't be a customer.
Rachel
$2.95 for 7 pages sounds steep to me, too...
Hmm, I've read Hard by Jamieson Wolf, which is about Owen and his best friend, Daniel. And I apparently picked it up for $2.45 at ARe, without really thinking how short the book was!
I have to agree about the prices. The books may have looked good but I probably wouldn't have spent the money due to the length of the stories.
Chris - how was Hard?
I see that I gave it a 2.5 stars. Other than that, I have no memory of it! :)
So really good then, huh? lol Thanks for the info. :)
FYI, it's 2.45, not 2.95 and 1.95, not 1.45. Also, I know this is a bit off topic, but if you take a look at a larger publisher, say Cobblestone Press, they are charging more for their stories...
I bought Hard after reading this and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I am curious what people find reasonable for stories as I have seen numerous prices for same size books and some seem outrageous and some seem to be on the edge...
Anonymous - what did you think of Hard? Or did you read Harder?
I agree with the prices--that's a little steep for just a few pages. That being said, I didn't even know short stories like this were available! Thanks for the reviews, Tracy. :)
Tracy - I really enjoyed Hard, a bit more than Harder (I just bought it tonight), but still liked both of them. I think it is worth the price, but I agree. Maybe they could lower the price a smidge :)
What prices do I think are fair?
Well, I think $1 for the 2 pager, maybe $1.50 for the 7 pager, and perhaps $2.25 for the 25 pager.
Just my opinion.
What do you think?
