I expected this book to be pure porn, but it's not. There's graphic sex scenes in it, of course, but it's not just porn. Most of the book is a technological marvel of the future. Newfangled sex toys, with nanobots. Virtual Reality sex. And an exclusive sex club that hires only the best and brightest whores.

The story is about Chloe Shaw, an inexperienced sex worker who is applying to the prestigious O club. They only allowed her to apply because her mother had been an excellent sex worker for them. So they only expected to see her and then excuse her, because of her inexperience.

But Chloe surprised them. Because, it turns out that she's the Sherlock Holmes of sex workers. Somehow, she knows her partner's deepest, darkest secrets. She knows how to give them the pleasure they've always wanted, but were afraid to ask for.

The O executives were impressed by her first performance, so they set up her next session with the biggest asshole client they had. He was a wealthy man, who always abused the sex workers. But, with Chloe, he was putty in her hands. She insulted him, called him names, and somehow knew about his childhood crush who laughed in his face when he professed his love.

So, Chloe laughed at him. Told him how stupid and ugly he was. Then, ordered him to eat out her pussy with his stupid, ugly face. He obliged, then she ordered him to fuck her silly. Because she NEEDED his stupid, ugly cock. She played the role perfectly, and the man came faster and harder than ever before.

I liked this book, because it was a well written story, that was actually interesting to read. The tech was amazing, and well described. And the characters were vibrant and real. I really couldn't find any fault in this book. I actually enjoyed it.… (más)

Most erotica takes itself way, way too seriously. This - the first short piece in a series about the employees of an adult video store - definitely does not. There were moments when I laughed so hard that I was concerned I would wake up my roommate. (Have you got the impression that I prefer funny writing to sexy writing? You would be right.) I'm not rushing out to buy the next in the series (this one was free) but the fact that I actually read all the way through it says a lot.

SAMPLE PARAGRAPH

The rules of the game said that the staff had to start making guesses about what the customers would buy within the first 10 seconds they were in the store. If they waited too long, you could tell where they were headed. Most customers meandered, but some knew their game and shot straight for their desires.
