Adult actress Stormy Winters wanted to end it all. She just wanted to quit life altogether, but when she fails at her suicide attempt, Dr. Bastian is there to take her under his wing and convince her she deserves a better life far removed from the hectic hustle and bustle of “the real world.” Soon there’s a spark between them and he invites her to come live with him in a private, exclusive gated … gated community known as E. Mayberry. Only after reading the home owners’ rules and regulations book and accompanying Bastian to a late night party does she realize what she’s gotten herself into.
Chris Genovese wrote the book but his fans put together the E. Mayberry HOA Rules and Regulations. You’ve been cordially invited to find out more about E. Mayberry. How involved are you willing to get?
Be advised, this book is fully of naughty, kinky, and downright dirty fun. Don’t read if you’re easily offended.
Here’s an excerpt from Sunshine’s first meeting with Vivi, the Community Relations Manager:
Dr. Bastian is a great man. He will make one hell of an owner, but you have to be willing to accept your role here.”
“What is my role…exactly?”
“Be there for him. That doesn’t mean slave after him or take beatings or any of the wicked stuff you might imagine. It simply means that you’re there for him and won’t leave him. You’re…kind of…like a wife…only we don’t really believe in marriage. We believe in owners and pets and swinging as a way of life.”
“Swinging? Like we’ll have different partners?”
“Yes, dear. That’s what E. Mayberry is all about. It’s total immersion in pleasure. Pleasure of the mind, pleasure of the body, pleasure of the soul…it’s like having a spiritual awakening where all you need to do is be happy and make others happy. What could be wrong about that?”
Thanks for reading that excerpt and giving this book a chance. Don’t forget to check out all the other books by Chris Genovese and if you’re into the darker, more twisted stuff, don’t miss the books by his other pen name, Carver Pike, where you’ll find horror and dark fantasy stories.

I loved this book. At first I wasnt sure what to expect from Chris but he writes like if you are watching a movie. I could see the characters in my head and dreams. I didn’t like the e surprise toward the end but it makes sense once you get to know a bit more about Chris. It is a non stop reading story of Sunshine and Bash. How they met, fell in love and made a great life in E Mayberry neighborhood. You might want to be part of this neighborhood but it is very exclusive. Maybe you can be part of it too.
I read this book a couple of ohths ago and it has taken me this long to come back and attempt to write this review. I really didn’t know what to expect when I started the book. It’s a fascinating idea but I so didn’t expect the twist. To say it’s stayed with me and played on my mind is a complete understatement, I can’t get it out of my head.
Holy Moly this book was hot! It’s kinky erotica at it’s finest. This book captured me from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. The characters, the plot, there’s nothing I didn’t love about this book. A fantastic story and a job well done Chris!
This was nothing like I expected, in a good way. The characters were gritty, real, and had you invested. This story was told like an interview so there was a lot of “telling” the story rather than showing it but it definitely worked for this story. E. Mayberry, like any exclusive neighborhood/ development has its own unique set of rules. Steam doesn’t begin to describe the level of heat. I’m still in shock from the last few chapters. Rule 30.
Want a side of mindfutch with your sexy story? This is the book for you! Wow…holy wow! I think I need some whiskey now…
Awesome Story & Narration Captivating & Intense
Welcome to E. Mayberry By: Chris Genovese
Narrated by: Lynn Devereux
This book completely wowed me, it captivated from start to end. This is my first book by Chris Genovese but it will not be my last, he is a gifted author with great writing skills. The story he created here is original and I love the way he presented it and had the lead character tell it and basically relive. Stormy Winters has not been enjoying her life, she felt it was empty and not worth living, but after a failed suicide attempt a Doctor takes him under her wing and wants to show her a better life, a life worth living. He brings her home in E. Mayberry, an exclusive gated community where residents live a lifestyle of their choice, one that Stormy would appreciate. I really liked Dr. Bastian, what he did for Stormy, bringing her up from he depressed state renaming her Sunshine. Life in Mayberry is like no other, a lot goes on there but it like Vegas, what happens in Mayberry stays in Mayberry. I loved how everything plays out in this book, it is well plotted with plenty of drama, hot kink, a bit of angst, some heartfelt moments, heartbreaking ones and some romance too. I just loved the mind-blowing twist, never saw that one coming, well done Chris Genovese, very well done. Thank you for this awesome story. I am looking forward to checking out more of your work, I hope some of it comes to Audible soon.
I listened to the Audible edition, Lynn Devereux is a terrific narrator and voice artist. She did an awesome job job portraying the characters and bringing them to life. She gave each character their own voice and personality which made it easy to follow them. She set the perfect tone for the story and captured the characters emotions and passion which she projected into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen
Wow! Fantastic story!
Ok, so this has been on my TBR for a while and I thought I knew what it would be about. But boy, did this book take me by surprise?!?
Yes, I was right to expect a story with lots of hot chemistry but what I didn’t expect was a soulful story with deep emotions……especially the sort that made me cry!
This story was so much more than kink and all the taboo that can be attached to it! Just wow……it actually blew me away! The storyline was amazing and I was completely invested in the characters!
But the twist!!!! Woah!! I did not see that coming! Just brillaint! But don’t take my word for it, just read it!
I didn’t know what to expect from this book, but Chris Genovese blew me away. I was so invested in every word, I didn’t see what was coming next. He made me gasp, but not for the reasons one might think! It was erotic and sexy and hot and also left me breathless a few times. Welcome to E. Mayberry is definitely one I will be re-reading!
This was a really steamy and hot read that had a real suspenseful feel throughout this story. There was a lot of mystery throughout the story that kept me unable to put the story down until i found out what happened. This was an interesting and entertaining read.
Well this whole book is about a place called E. Mayberry. Sunshine is a girl with a past that she wants to forget. She feels shame about how she feels about sex. Then after trying to end it all, she meets Bastion. The handsome doctor has a few secrets of his own. And when he finally shares them with Sunshine, she changes. For the better she believes. Until one moment at a festival changes everything.
This book is HOT! Chris is a super talented writer. I liked the back and forth between the present and Sunshine telling her story. I will say at the ending I felt like I’d walked into a random slasher film that did not fit the rest of the story, but nonetheless I enjoyed the book overall and will read more by the author.
OH MY!!!!
This book you are a voyeur, by bringing you in, titillating your senses,
Will you watch or play? Will become their pet? The decision is yours?
Definitely an erotica tale, with incredible shock value…
Holy Hannah!! What a story!!
Reading Sunshine telling her story of her life in E. Mayberry to the detective made me want to believe that E. Mayberry existed somewhere in this crazy world. I’m not sure I’d request entry – I’m not that bold or uninhibited, but to think it might be out there was exciting!
Sebastian, a.k.a. Dr. Bastian, has found his pet. Someone as free-spirted and addicted to the pleasure as he is. Bringing her to E. Mayberry, he takes her through the introductions, the rules, the games, and the pleasure. Together they take advantage of all the community has to offer, including the residents. While he willingly shares her, there is no doubt she is his and he’ll do anything for her – even if it costs him everything.
Sunshine has finally found where she belongs. With Bastian in E. Mayberry. Her proclivities aren’t shunned, her pleasure freely asked for and given. And she belongs to him. What could be better? She loves him and knows he loves her. Together, they live in bliss. But, sometimes things can be too good to be true, can’t they?
The goings on in this community were nothing short of hot, sexy, adventurous and liberating. Despite the “Free-love” bylaws and overall attitude, you could tell there was a true love between Sunshine and Sebastian, even up to the end. And what an end it was! I NEVER saw that coming!! (pun intended). Boy, does Mr. Genovese have a way with words. Such a great read! I’d highly recommend it!
Heads up, if you plan on starting this book, make sure you don’t have to adult!!! Start it when the kids go to school, don’t answer the door, don’t answer the phone, and make sure you have plenty of err batteries!
This book is hot hot hot hot hot!!!
E. Mayberry is a very sensual and unique community. Bastian introduces Sunshine to it and brings her to live there. Several months later, Sunshine is telling her E. Mayberry story to Detective Tension. I liked how the story was broken down into Sunshine telling Tension her story, and their interactions together. I did not see the twist at the end coming.
SO HOT!!! I can’t say I’ve read another book quite like this one. Chris Genovese has outdone himself. This has to be the most erotic book I’ve ever read. And that’s saying something. If a place like E. Mayberry really exists…sign me up.
