There is a story to suit every taste in this historically set collection. Some were definitely outside my interest but even then some kept my attention. Others I skimmed over.
I received an arc of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This book is an explores taboo subjects and challenges societal norms. This collection of short stories delves into various fetishes, providing a raw and authentic portrayal of human desires. While some stories may not resonate with all readers, the overall collection offers a captivating and insightful exploration of human sexuality.
As someone who reads historical romance, I think I had very high expectations. While it started slow, it did deliver! I think I would have enjoyed a little more spice.
Thank you Entangled Publishing, LLC and Netgalley for this ARC!
Look we all know why we picked up this book lol. It definitely delivered on what it said it would. A little slow in the beginning, but kept me entertained the whole way through. Fast read and it did what it needed to do. Pretty solid smut book.
I enjoyed this book, but it did not give the same vibes if you will that I thought it was going to. Some of the stories were better than others but overall I did enjoy this book
I had the opportunity to read Fetish by Anonymous in return for my honest review. Kind of a historical fiction with spice. Some of the stories were pretty slow for me.
Fun, sultry, quick read. Fetish is a collection of short stories each focused on a different fetish. The stories are written as they would be in the times they are shadowing which was new for me but I definitely enjoyed this book.
Some stories are too good and some are ok. It was a nice experience reading these beautiful short stories about different characters and places and circumstances. The spicy is 🥵.
I had the opportunity to read Fetish by Anonymous in return for my honest review. The book started off slow and I was not sure if I would be able to get trough it, but I am glad I did. Although all the stories seem to have taken place in the 1800's the writer was still able to get and hold my attention. There are some fetishes I did not know existed (could have very well been the great imagination of the writer), but there were also some mentioned that I am well aware of. The different environments and graphic details made for some great stories. I even learned some things I may be willing to try. All in all it's a great book.
Interesting read! Very well-written and researched. It was definitely a unique way and pretty spicy! If you like your historical fiction to be spiced up, this is a good one!
I wanted to like this book so much but the Victorian era just threw me off. I couldn't get into the stories and just fell flat for me.
This is a collection of Victorian romance stories with different fetishes. Some of the stories were really hot and steamy and others made me a tad uncomfortable. I really liked that it wasn't the normal spicy and erotic tales that you read in most of the romance novels.
I really liked that each chapter has a trigger warning so you can be prepared and skip the stories that may be more bothersome than erotic for you.
Thank you NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for allowing me to read and review this title.
Whew! That's all I can say, haha! But really, this was a great collection of very sexy stories with a variety of fetishes, as you may guess from the title. This is not your average spicy book, but definitely worth a read if you are a little bit curious!
I'm never going to be sorry about trying something new because it always gives me something to think about and sometimes that new thing is my new favorite thing. And sometimes, it's just okay. Fetish is in the just okay range for me but I'm so glad I tried it or I would've been so very curious.
Not what I expected, but not in a bad way. Not modern, but definitely not bad. You just have to read it and I know thats not saying much, but it really, really is.
Thoroughly enjoyed this novel, It ticked all the boxes and was entertaining. Quite an enjoyable read. Would definitely recommend it to others and invite them to have a read and find out how good it is for themselves.
This book was very different than I expected! The stories were not all modern ones- but historical ones. They were a bit out there for my own tastes, but I'm sure there are others who would enjoy it! There were definitely some shocking points, fetishes I would have never dreamed of, and they were very steamy stories!
Super good!! I loved every part of it. Fire and more fire. I need more from this author. Do you know how hard it is to find books like this? I read it in one day and it felt so good.
There's likely something in here to float your boat, and likely something in here that makes you go "woah" and skip on to the next. It's a fascinating anthology.
I liked that the stories were united by the time period (Victorian) but otherwise had a wide range of settings, characters, and fetishes. And some certainly resonated with me, while others were more of an anthropological exercise because they were so out of my realm of imagination.
And, look, I don't care that this romance is set in Switzerland, "hot fondue" is not an acceptable euphemism. For anything.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
From Lala’s Book Reviews
Fetish is a collection of historical romance novellas that are about five or so chapters per short story. Each story is unique to the couple as some people discover new kinks and sexual awakenings while others detail the different sexual experiences that both men and women have.
All of the stories are told in third person that kind of switches between the couple.
This book is about normalizing peoples desires and sexuality as people don’t always fit in the box that society has always told us about what sex is and has a habit of shaming those who want more than the vanilla stuff when is comes to sex. Throughout all of the stories the common theme is learning how to embrace your sexuality and learning not to settle for someone who doesn’t accept you for all that you are.
Fetish helps bring light to different ways that people find pleasure for their body and helps show that you should find someone who will help you blossom and grow instead of forcing to conform to the norms of society.
