Smashwords book reviews by Erin O'Riordan

  • Joy in a Box on Feb. 02, 2011
    (no rating)
    Texas author Sally Hanan is originally from Dublin. Perhaps that's why the soul-searching slices of life in her flash fiction collection 'Joy in a Box' might remind you of a miniaturized 'Dubliners.' The stories range from bitter to sweet. A few are based on Bible stories or true events. Most are canny observations of how Christians do, should or shouldn't act. Yes, this Christian author pokes gentle fun at misplaced zeal. She turns the same lovingly, teasingly critical eye on us authors in "Writers Forum: Translation 101." Deep down, we all think we're William Shakespeare, don't we? What Hanan does exceedingly well is focus on relationships. Some of my favorites include "Roses Are Red," in which a widower must find a way to express his true feelings for the second love of his life. In "In the Orange-Sherbet Light," a middle-aged woman expresses gratitude to the aunt who adopted her many years before. Perhaps the best is "I Can Smell Him," a story of love and loyalty in which a married woman is tempted by an office romance. There's also a touch of humor, as in "That Stalker Thing." Anyone who's ever had a celebrity crush should be able to relate to the hapless cocktail waitress's experience. Any author/edit whose other website is devoted to the fashion uses of duct tape must have a sense of humor. Because it can be read in small chunks, this book is perfect for inspirational book clubs composed of busy members. If you loved Oliver Frances' book 'Heart and Souls,' you'll also love this book.
  • Therapy Session on May 29, 2011

    An amusing short read, though not some of Rush's best work. I recommend his longer story "Hysteria."
  • Hysteria on May 29, 2011

    I had the pleasure--and I do mean pleasure--of reading Rushmore Judd’s erotic novella “Hysteria” the other day. Set in 1890, the fictional story is based on fact. In the Victorian era, vibrators were medical devices. Women made appointments to see their (always male) doctors for vibrator treatments that induced orgasms. This was seen as a legitimate cure for hysteria, a vague disorder said to make women irritable and causing headaches and other womanish ailments. The word “hysteria” comes from the ancient Greek word for “uterus,” and the ancient Greeks imagined a woman’s uterus getting restless or angry and wandering around inside her body, causing all kinds of mischief. Isabelle has heard the other ladies in her social circle talking in hushed tones about the wonders of Doctor Tunney and his treatments for female hysteria. She makes a clandestine appointment to see him, without telling her husband. Isabelle, a typical Victorian lady, is shy about letting a strange man see her body. When she sees Dr. Tunney, a handsome thirty-something single man with dark, curly hair, broad shoulders, muscular arms and a deep voice, she’s torn between her modesty and a coquettish desire to flirt with him. Isabelle’s “cure” is so pleasurable, she can’t wait to see Dr. Tunney again. In fact, Isabelle so enjoys the world of secret pleasures behind the doctor’s soundproofed door, she makes an appointment for her willful daughter Margaret. “Spirited” Margaret is just coming into her young womanhood, unmarried, and still a virgin. By the time her first appointment is over, Margaret would very much like Doctor Tunney to change that. Will he be able to maintain his professional demeanor? Or will he give in to Margaret’s unspoiled charms? “Hysteria” reminded me of “The Ontological Engine, or, The Modern Leda” by Vinnie Tesla, one of my favorite erotic stories ever. Like Mr. Tesla, Rushmore Judd is gifted with a fertile and wonderfully shameless imagination. This story is very sex-positive. All the participants are willing and joyful, despite the restrictive Victorian atmosphere. The only problem with “Hysteria” is that it will leave the reader panting for more.
  • Sister-In-Law, Volume 1, The Visit on June 21, 2011

    "Something about the evilness of it turned her on," says a line in this short book. That's a pretty good description. The scenario of a woman wanting to share her husband with her teenage sister is very wrong, but in Rushmore's telling, it is also very hot. The only storytelling technique that doesn't work really well is the hopping back and forth between the three characters' points of view.
  • Checked Out: A Short Story on July 06, 2011

    An impressive introduction to the work of Kenya Williamson, this flash fiction showcases a daydream. We've all been there: working hard for the money, but mentally we're somewhere else. Along comes that smugly annoying someone who knows we have a thing for them, and despite our better judgement, we can't even help drifting away mentally for a moment. That's what happened to the supermarket checker in this brief tale, well told.
  • The Sex Swing Rental on July 09, 2011

    This short story is probably a little more fun for male readers than for female readers, since the protagonist's client doesn't happen to be very good-looking. It's an amusing tale, but sadly, it ends at the best part.
  • Versus for Men on Aug. 02, 2011

    The warning is accurate: it's a little crude and offensive. This short read is definitely good for a few laughs, though, and will probably spark some debate when shared with friends. Pop culture enthusiasts will appreciate these "Who Would You Rather" arguments. I bet the version for women is even better.
  • Versus for Women on Aug. 02, 2011

    I came across the men's version first, and even though I'm a lady I couldn't resist the allure of the forbidden. As the disclaimer goes, it's a little crude, possibly offensive, but the men's version was funny. This one's even funnier. Disney wouldn't be thrilled with Mr. Obi's Little Mermaid implications in the men's version (though the reference to Belle from 'Beauty and the Beast' as a ridadie chick was pretty cool). Disney will not be thrilled with this book's reference to Aladdin as a possible terrorist. But who cares? The point is to get your friends talking. Personally, I think I'd take my chances with Legolas.
  • Tiffany Gets Her Boobs on Nov. 02, 2011

    Tiffany is not quite the strong heroine I typically hope for in a short story. Her life's goal is to be an actress or something...she's not really sure...or at least trade her waitressing job for a higher-paying gig at Hooters. She's not the most ambitious, or self-confident, female character ever written. Yes, she shows initiative, but she applies it to a shallow, short-sighted goal. The entire story is a teaser for the novel 'Bubba Goes For Broke,' the first two chapters of which appear at the end of the story. At least David Bawdy showed, through attempted kidnapper Bubba, that the male sex can be just as shallow and short-sighted as the female. I couldn't really get into the story because the characters weren't likable people.
  • How not to have sex on Jan. 01, 2012

    I think we've all had this experience a time or two, when the universe seems to conspire against us having a good time. This short story is charmingly told, with a nice edge of sexual tension.
  • Sex Pirates - Sexy Sea Adventures #3 on Jan. 01, 2012

    This little story is zero percent realistic, which is exactly what makes it 100 percent sexy fun. In real life, pirates aren't sexy - but fantasy pirates hold fascinating erotic possibilities, briefly but playfully explored here.
