This is the 3rd and final book in the Amanda series. I have been following Amanda since she was a short story in one of Dylan’s collections. Amanda’s Birthday is much lighter than the previous editions, but don’t worry Amanda is still used even on her birthday. I liked this book because the scenes were different still hot but I did not feel as bad for her in this book as I did in Amanda’s Descent and Amanda’s Assignment. I will wait for more after the release because I do not wantr to give anything away. I can’t wait for the paperback to add to my collection
Hot erotica that definitely pushes the boundaries
***WARNING – content and language is extremely graphic, sexual, and erotic, including non-consensual, forced sex. Please be mindful of this.***
I have very recently taken an interest in contemporary romance and erotica fiction. Dylan Cross’s name came up in various places when I was looking for authors to read. This was the first book I read of Dylan’s.
As I stated at the beginning of my review, this book had very extreme, explicit sexual content, various levels of sexual encounters and situations, and the physical and sexual relations were on a wide spectrum of what would be “acceptable” in societal norms. I had never read a book with this much erotica, and in that regard, it took me a little bit to settle in and get comfortable. It was hot erotica that definitely pushed the boundaries. Understand, this is a work of FICTION.
I knew Dylan Cross wrote other “Amanda” books, but I had not read them ahead of this, decided to read it as a standalone, and it was perfectly fine to do so. “Amanda’s Birthday” is exactly that; the story and events of her birthday. Unfortunately, it was not exactly the birthday she thought it would be.
Quick overview to frame this story:
Some time before her birthday, Amanda was caught “servicing” the cable man by her husband’s best friend, Craig. Craig agreed not to tell Amanda’s husband, Mark, of her indiscretion on one condition – she would be Craig’s sex slave whenever, wherever and with whomever he wanted. Feeling like she had no other option, she agreed. When Amanda’s birthday comes around, the night her husband had set up did not go quite as planned. What was supposed to be her celebration very quickly turns into anything but that. I don’t want to give away any of the events and details because they were all interconnected and relevant, but needless to say, I quickly saw the deal Amanda made with Craig, the sex-deranged devil.
I could not stop flipping the pages! Dylan Cross, you opened my eyes to this level of erotica, you made me open my mind to a lot of things I honestly didn’t think possible. I thought it was masterfully written, incredibly well thought…IMPRESSIVE. I don’t have much to compare it to yet, but I do know I will buy and read more of your work. Yes, it was graphic. Yes, it was extreme. Yes, it was dirty and dirty and dirtier…YES!!! It was all of those things. And I STAYED!!! Dylan Cross, you can write! I connected, I felt the characters, the situations, I was moved. You had my emotions by a thread, but still didn’t let me come unraveled. I was so invested! For an author to find the level of commitment and connection you did, with an extremely novice and naive erotica reader like myself, I think speaks volumes about who you are as a writer and author. I didn’t want to turn away, I stayed engaged, and you held me there the entire read. Thank you for your lessons and open mindedness in this genre I am loving and learning so much about!
