As the title suggests, this book is comprised of short stories with the main story being that of Madame’s Feast. This is not the type of book I usually read, but I have received an ARC and am excited to give it a try!

The first story follows a writer trying to make it in L.A. His story takes a few unexpected turns and they are very enjoyable to read! He meets some interesting people in his line of work that broaden his horizons a bit. I enjoyed this story wholeheartedly!

The title story is next! I must say, just from the cover art I was incredibly excited to get into this! When a woman gets an unexpected invitation to a dinner party, she finds out just what can happen when one frequently lies by omission. This story took a turn I was not expecting and it was one wildly erotic ride!

The third and final story revolves around a game show contestant going back to his regular life after the competition. He refuses to share the results of the show because he’s obligated to keep it secret until it’s released - at least that what he keeps saying. What really happened while he was filming the show? Read it and find out!

Overall this was awesome. The short stories were just long enough to give well rounded storylines and include plenty of details and steam. This is a quick read and really enjoyable!
