Ebook description
Carlo Collodi (author of Pinocchio) will be spinning in his Tuscan grave, although possibly not as fast as Walt Disney. The Brothers Grimm may be feeling a little dizzy as well… Lonely woodcarver Joseph, purveyor of fine hand-crafted goods to the BDSM market, decides to craft the ultimate sex toy, a life-size wooden Boy. Unfortunately Joseph's Boy has a mind of his own...Adult-content rating:

I really enjoyed the adaptation of Pinocchio that JL Merrow used in her short story "A Real Boy." Even for a short work of less than twenty pages, Merrow includes a great deal of humor and mild references and/or uses of BDSM/sex toy play. The main character, Joseph, is an ugly but talented woodcarver who uses his special gift for making the best sex toys for hundreds of miles around. He is lonely, though, and never gets to use his own products with a partner because of his ugliness. There is, of course, a pesky cricket as his conscience, and a HEA. I rate this story a 4.5 for the enjoyment factor, but also for the style of writing and the inventiveness that turns the personality of the Joseph and the cricket from the typical to an original. I won’t spoil it; I just recommend the read!

I can’t believe this story has been posted for a year and no one has reviewed it. But then I’ve had it downloaded for a while before I got around to reading it too. It is so funny I laughed out loud at several places and I seldom do that when I’m alone. It sure gives a new meaning to the term ‘woody’. Great job JL.
