My 5-Star review for author Martha Perez' short story collection classified as "Romantic Erotica"--IN THE DARK:

Blunt-Force Drama

Reader beware: Mature subject matter! If you’re not deterred by graphic erotica or strong language, by all means enter the dark. Be prepared to descend into the abyss of eight short stories that delve into dismal and disturbing scenarios drenched in the realism of dysfunction, disappointment, and despair.

Throughout her storytelling, the author fluctuates between waxing exquisite and explicit—never mincing words.

Amidst their dilemmas, Martha Perez’ engaging characters ponder the answers to perplexing questions, such as:

When you choose the wrong path in life, are you destined to repeat the same mistakes?

What happens when a vulgar wife disrespects her husband?

How do dreams control our mind and affect our life?

Does engaging in sex talk on the Internet qualify as cheating in a relationship?

I highly recommend this short story collection which dares to trespass and linger in the dark. My favorite selection is “The Lie That Binds”. Boy, Ray, the dishwasher, can’t catch a break!
