Like with my reviews of Sonni de Soto and K.C. Silkwood’s works, my reviews for these short stories are also short; therefore I am grouping three of them together and sharing them all at once. If a story is on Goodreads, I’ll review it almost immediately - you can see my Goodreads reviews here.
Review of Anita B. Johnson’s “Slutty by Nature” series
My First Time (Slutty by Nature Book 1)
I wonder where this lies between fiction and autobiography.
This story of Anita’s experience as a college freshman and her sexual awakening was a quick, fun read. It reminded me of how much I wanted to be a slut in college, and I was happy to see her enjoying herself and her partners. While I don’t jive with cheating on people, and while it’s important to communicate whether or not partners are exclusive in a relationship, this is also an erotic story and doesn’t have to necessarily follow how things should work in reality.
Always remember to use protection and to use lube.
Partying with Josie (Slutty by Nature Book 2)
A tentative 4 stars.
The second installment of the “Slutty by Nature” series was fun, for the most part; however, if your character has to include the line “I didn’t consider myself a racist”, you may want to either rethink why they are saying that or how well it fits in with the story. The writing comes just shy of “Mandingo Lite” in some places, which can be off-putting depending on one’s mood.
However, our protagonist learns more about what she likes as the story goes on, while at the same time wondering what she has gotten herself into. It’s important to consider where you’ve been as you work on where you’re going, after all.
Making the Grade (Slutty by Nature Book 3)
I ended up giving the final part 3 stars.
The third and final installment of the “Slutty by Nature” series unfortunately doesn’t improve from the previous two. There were three things that I didn’t particularly enjoy: the pacing was a little rougher than before; there were professors coupling with a student (not to mention the massive age differences and the cheating on a spouse); and there was coercion.
Also, there’s a new character trait that we hadn’t seen in the protagonist before now; while I enjoyed the trait, it’s something that would have worked better if it was mentioned in one of the previous novellas. And the execution of that trait would not work in real life - do not surprise people with sex with other people - that is something that needs to be discussed first.
This was still a fun, light read. If you already read the first two novellas in the series, reading the final part isn’t the worst thing one can do with their time.
