Mazie Carmichael is determined to replace her broken B.O.B and sate her desperate hunger—until she runs into the men responsible for her ache. Eric and Evan Mandel are drop-dead gorgeous bikers and identical twins, not to mention the flesh-and-blood embodiment of her fantasies. But their knowing looks when they see the toy clutched in her shaking hand sparks embarrassment that sends her running. When the seductive brothers offer the kind of hands-on relief mere toys can’t provide, will Mazie find the courage to embrace her needs…or will self-doubt send her scurrying home unfulfilled?
Batteries Not Included is a short,
steamy read with a clever title that intrigued me right way. I always find it
difficult to review novellas. Reviewing this one is even more difficult than
ones I have reviewed in the past, because it is only 29 pages. Anyway, here
goes nothing!
Maize’s vibrator breaks at the most
inopportune time. Frustrated in more ways than one, she rushes to the store to
pick up a new one along with, you guessed it, a pack of batteries. Before she
can make it to the register, she runs into the Mandel twins, Evan and Eric.
Well, it was more like they startle her and she throws a vibrator and batteries
at them, but you get the idea. Seeing that she is in need of some help, they
offer to give her hand… or a number of other body parts. Having seen those body
parts in detail when then modeled for her drawing class, she can’t resist their
offer for long. You can use your imagination about what comes next, or you can
pick up a copy of this and see for yourself!
Batteries Not Included grabbed my
attention in the first paragraph and kept it until the end. I enjoyed the
writing style, the menage aspect, and the story itself for the most part. I
cringed when I read the words “sweet, tart cream,” and when one twin thinks
about the fact that he can feel his brother’s penis through the wall of Maize’s
vagina (ew). The final sexual act seemed like it was cut really short, and left
me wanting more. Other than that, it was hot. Overall, it was a decent little bit
of smut. If this was a full length novel that had time to build off of
everything, I would read it. I recommend reading this if you need something to
read during your lunch break or anytime you just want something quick and
dirty!
