Title: The Stud Palace
Author: Cairo
Publisher: Strebor Books
Summary: Leave your inhibitions at the door. Beautiful women from all walks of life, looking for a night of unadulterated pleasure with other women, choose from a menu of studs—women who have the swag of a man—to cater to their every sexual whim. Discover what happens when sexually frustrated Octavia Daniels is invited by her friend to take a walk on the wild side in the four levels of The Stud Palace.
Review:
This book can be completely intriguing or downright disgusting depending on where you stand in your sexuality and inhibitions. It was a common storyline about a woman frustrated in her partnership with a man. She fantasizes about women and learns that her best friend has actually lived out what she craves. Her best friend then introduces her to "the stud palace" where, to me, she is still treated the same way a man would treat her, sexed the same way a man would sex her.
I'm not sure the author captured the essence of a stud or the magic of what happens when two women come together on an erotic level.
This short was intended to open readers up for "Slippery When Wet" but for me, it did nothing special. If the LGBT audience was intended to be captured with this short, then there was somewhat of a fail. It seemed like the typical erotic/ bi-curious storyline and I'm not sure it enticed me enough to read more.
At first, this book completely turned me off. I found the sex to be… pornographic (for lack of a better word) rather than tempting. I almost didn't complete this story because of the way it started with the main character and her boyfriend. For a true lesbian, it was a bit much. I did however enjoy the creativity of a "stud palace."
For the future, I'd dare the author to be less safe and stray away from throwing in male sex scenes to appease the heterosexual audience and make it "acceptable.” There are other ways to express bisexuality. Of course, I do applaud the author for stepping out of his genre a bit.
It was a quick read and I'd only recommend it if you are into raunchy fantasy.
