Amber Jerome~Norrgard

I enjoyed the story and when I read it, immediately I thought it was a snippet of time in a relationship. Perhaps that is my own perception, there is no statement that the two characters are long-time lovers or even in a relationship, it was just the feeling invoked from the reading.

To me the story is not vulgar and explicit for the sake of vulgarity. It was the peek into the private time of two lovers, with love and passion equally present.

This is an erotic short-story for the thinking woman.

I posted this review on Amazon and will be completing a longer, more detailed review on my website - E-BookBuilders.com … (meer)

I feel for a short story this one had a lot in it. Normally with this length of writing there’s not much that happens, at least in the erotic genre which this is in. I’ve read some erotic stories that are of similar length and normally it’s (boiled down to) “hi, let’s have sex, ok,” then the story ends.

Norrgard was able to establish a very real world character in her main character. The set up for bringing James into her life was worked out well, also. I feel this story doesn’t need the erotic label thrown on it (aside from a few descriptive words at certain points). It could easily pass as a great story without that.

The way the MC dealt with an issue she couldn’t bring herself to handle (won’t be more descriptive to avoid a spoiler) wasn’t to my liking. But because of this it showed how flawed an individual can be. It took a while for her to learn her mistake and that’s life for you. Not everything works out perfectly, especially with romance and strong emotions getting in the way. Take it as a lesson and don’t make the mistake in real life. That’s the moral of that part of the story.

Overall I was very pleased with this story and savored every line. More from this author will be going onto my wishlist now… (meer)

This is yet another great story by Norrgard. I haven't had good experience with reading erotic stories before. They just don't do anything for me normally. And more often than not, I don't find that the authors write very well either. It's basically describe the encounters as blandly as possible and finish the story.

Norrgard drags the reader into the story itself. The reader isn't just reading what's going in the bedroom, he or she is visualizing, feeling, being part of the story itself. This was a new experience in my erotic readings and I quite enjoyed it.

Aside from the sexual elements in this story, there was also more. There was the part that I find is lacking elsewhere in this genre. The main characters have an arrangement where they are friends with benefits. But when feelings may start developing, an end must occur to the relationship. There are few words on the subject, yet there is much being said and more to be speculated that made me give this story such a great rating. It's what's NOT said that makes this story so powerful.

I never thought I'd have this to say about something with so much sex in it, but this was a beautifully written story about sexual encounters and what happens when a character has real human emotions.… (meer)

I have previously reviewed three of the stories included in this collection. They are James, Jeffrey, and David. I won’t get into much specifics about them or the other work presented in wanting. They’re all great stories, as well as a few poems thrown in the mix.

Overall the collection is a great showcase of Norrgard’s talent for writing great erotica. Like I’ve mentioned in my past reviews, there is a well thought out plot, thoroughly developed characters, and an actual story to read. Sex is still the focus on these stories, but it’s not the only thing worth reading.

The sexual encounters are also up to par with the story writing. They step it up a notch from generic erotica by being creative and mature about the word choice of certain body parts and a variety of action words used throughout.

You won’t find a cookie-cutter erotic journey in Wanting. This is a collection for those looking for a little “dirty fun” while still wanting to read well written stories.… (meer)
