"Short, entertaining, and sexy"

"Whispers in the Wind" is a collection of some short--and some very short--stories that encompass one night stands to friends becoming more than friends to, perhaps, the love of a lifetime.

"Brave New World?" In a world of the future, genetic engineering has caused a drastic drop in fertile sperm. Men and women no longer have natural sexual relations. But when one male rebels, the whole system may be in danger of destruction. "Champagne Lifestyle" Winning the lottery ought to have solved all their problems, but for Helen and Maggie the novelty soon wore off. It's at the luxury villa they've decided to buy that Helen gets to know Maggie in a way she never expected. "Whole" Elizabeth is searching for love and pleasing the current man in her life seems to be how to find it. That is until Tony helps her realize that pleasing herself is important, also. "Cinders" The morning after is a real wake-up call for Cindy, when comfort comes from an unexpected direction. "Artist's Model" When Ray left he not only broke Ruby's heart, but took her sexual desire with him, also. That is until she meets Remco, the man she thought she had an entirely platonic cyber relationship with. "Journey Home" On the way to Amsterdam Mary meets Marco. It will be a meeting she'll never forget. "Testament" It's an unusual place to have sex and he wonders why she insisted on doing it there. "Mr. Romantic" Mark's not romantic--but Rick is. Mary is going with Mark, but starts dating Rick. Will Rick be her fantasies come true? "The Boy Next Door - or - 'Gnome is Where the Heart Is'" Neighbor Danny, at a year younger, had always seemed like a little brother to Judy--that is until an accident with a stone gnome has her seeing him in a different light. "Last Fling" Bored with her life in a loveless marriage, a one night stand doesn't sound so bad. And what a night it is! "Love Boat?" Alan had never satisfied Janie sexually, nor truly allowed her to be herself. Then, on the cruise she was supposed to share with Alan, she meets Steve. Will he rescue her or break her heart?

These stories each are unique in their own way and are like small snippets out of the character's lives. Surprising discoveries, ships passing in the night, romance, laughter, maybe even love can be found here. I admit I don't care for same gender sex, but I believe these scenes were well written. I didn't feel the sensuality was high, but the sex scenes were good, and some were quite hot. This is a good book to relax with when you want something short, entertaining, and sexy.

Sensuality--PG to mild NC17; same gender sex, oral sex, some explicit language, adultery, consensual bondage.
