Under His Spell by Vivian Blake

Under His Spell by [Vivian Blake]
($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) A woman married to a man not afraid of sharing is approached by a devilishly handsome witch. [Purchase Link]

I appreciate that this work spent time to establish that everyone wants her to fuck the stranger, but then it kept establishing that for over half the pages which gets annoying. It's also establishing it in that mixed-message way that's supposed to appeal to "I want this but can't say yes due to societal expectation" crowd, you know, the "Baby It's Cold Outside" people. I used to be that crowd, and this would have certainly gotten me off then.

Now, as the title suggests, there IS a love potion involved. It's not the "you feel compelled to fuck me now" kind, but the "liquid courage" kind. Personally, I'd have preferred the protagonist consented to the spell, but again, I'm not gonna hold my personal taste against the work. It has its target demo, it hits it, but by hitting its target it misses me.

A Fairytail Love by Cyd Sidney

($2.99 or Kindle Unlimited) A man gets sold out by his shitty ballet company to be the companion of an otherworldly sugar plum fairy. [Purchase Link] Lots of dialogue and well-built characters. I can appreciate when I can tell who is talking even if there names aren't attached to the dialogue (which is useful since there was a spot where the paragraphs were separated so that it sounded like a different person was talking). But I didn't really care for the characters or the chemistry they brought, as well-written as they were. Felt less like fireworks and more like "well, I'll hook up with you, I guess, kinda bored anyway." I know that's rich coming from me since I wrote that exact plot in What the Weretiger Wants, but I want to be clear that this is NOT a dig at the quality of the work. The work is fine, just not my thing. I  don't always write stuff that isn't my thing, which is why What the Weretiger Wants is also "I'm bored. Let's fuck...
