Inhalt:
Sam ist total am Durchdrehen.
In drei Wochen wird er 30. Und was hat er mit seinen Zwanzigern angestellt? Ist ’ne ganz einfache Rechnung: nichts Aufregendes – abgesehen vielleicht davon, dass er seinen Sohn Jeremy großgezogen hat. Aber was soll’s, Sam hat noch drei Wochen. Vielleicht reicht die Zeit ja, seine 20er-Wunsch-Liste abzuarbeiten…

Luke ist total am Arsch.
Er hat sich vor seiner Familie geoutet und vor seinen Freunden. Da ist nur eine bestimmte Person, die noch nichts davon weiß: sein Nachbar Sam, der seit 7 Jahren neben ihm wohnt und der ganz nebenbei auch noch sein bester Freund ist. Ihm muss Luke endlich die Wahrheit sagen, aber er kann es… einfach… nicht…

Jeremy ist total am Ausflippen.
Er zählt die Tage bis zu seinem 15. Geburtstag, und er will eigentlich nur eins: soviel Zeit wie möglich mit der süßen Suzy verbringen. Aber dazu müssten ihn seine Eltern erstmal in Ruhe lassen – mit ihrer ständigen Panik vor ungewollten Schwangerschaften. Also warum nicht einfach so tun, als ob man schwul wäre?

Zwei Nachbarn. Ein Sohn. Und eine strahlende Zukunft vor ihnen… Naja, solange sie ein paar Dinge geregelt kriegen…(Quelle: amazon.de)

Meine Meinung:
Anyta Sunday erzählt die Geschichte von Lake, Sam und Jeremy mit viel Herz und Gefühl. 3 Männer/ Jungs, die ihren Weg suchen - jeder für sich und doch gemeinsam. 

Eine Geschichte über Zahlen: Noch 3 Wochen bis zum 30. Geburtstag von Sam, zum 15. Geburtstag von Jeremy, 7 Jahre mit Luke und die 20er Liste. Doch es sind nur Zahlen. Doch bis Sam dies begreift, hat Jeremy in seiner jugendlichen Weisheit, sein Leben auf den Kopf gestellt und Sam zum Nachdenken gebracht. Über sein Leben, über seinen Nachbarn und was die Zukunft bereit hält.

Taboo for you ist eine wunderschöne Liebesgeschichte. Die mit viel Liebe zu Detail, den richtigen Händchen für ihre Protagonisten und einem feinen Humor, die Geschichte der 3 Jungs zum Leben erweckt. Die einem als Leser an der Geschichte der Drei teilhaben lässt und die einem nach dem Happy End lechzen lässt. Ich habe bereits "Fels" geliebt, doch mit dieser Geschichte hat sich endgültig einen Platz in meinem büchersüchtigen Herzen gesichert.

Fazit: Eine Geschichte zum Verlieben, voller Gefühl und Liebe. Wer sich nicht in Sam und Luke verliebt, der sollte das Genre wechseln.

This anthology was about fantasies, specifically with taboo themes. I wasn’t sure if I wasn’t going to like it as the themes are a bit “more” than I’d typically read. Plus most taboo stories don’t have plot and go way overboard. Luckily, none of these stories are like that. I really enjoyed them, even some of the parts that I was a little uncomfortable with. The writing was so good, I had to keep reading. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend.

**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

This is one of those books where I'm like how in the holy fuck do I review it? I mean, I face the same issue with a title like Toilet Baby; it's just so absurd that it beggars a serious review. Here we go, let's see if I can pull out something coherent anyway.

The author loves adjectives and alliteration, gifting the reader with phrases such as "she thought about how the plump, pliant persistent bulb delving down in her drenching lips."

The book is FILLED with stuff like this. Also her genitals are often referred to her as "her puss." Also I find this passage particularly egregious: "Her chest was pounding now, and her thighs were tightening now and her buttocks were flexing now and a dam was creaking now, and cracking and breaking to open wide and burst."

BUT WHEN WILL THEN BE NOW? ...Soon.

So she goes from using a vibrator on herself in the car -- because that's what we all do at rest stops out in the open, right? -- to going in to the stereotypical small town to find a bite to eat. She ends up in a diner where a man brings her a big golden cookie to eat. She apparently doesn't find this odd at all and consumes it readily. This...makes her in to a bee queen? Or something? And then a bunch of cocks show up, and they're maybe attached to a bunch of werebees? I can't remember that being said explicitly in the story. We're just supposed to know that these disembodied dicks are attached to a bunch of shapeshifters who want to impregnate her and make her their queen. Also their sperm must induce telepathy, because she somehow knows that these men are drones and she's the queen.

The sex scene also involves food. Which normally, I think is disgusting. Food and sex do not belong together in my world. And in this book, cocks and eclairs are the same? Or the cocks are stuck through eclairs, and she eats the pastry and sucks the dick? Oh my god I don't know, I am thinking way too hard about a book that involves fucking a bunch of werebees.

"The large, round end of an eclair insinuates slyly and smoothly in between her lips."

You're welcome.

Did you know the main character is also fat? And the whole book involves her gorging herself on cakes? I mean, I'm fat and I love cake, let's not front. But man, this is a slim book -- more of a pamphlet really -- and it's not enough time to establish anything else about her so her sole trait as a fat chick is that she likes to eat. Oh and get off, I guess. Hobbies are important!

In closing I present you with the greatest (possible?) type in the whole book: "there's something important that she feels has not bee accomplished."

Me too, and that thing would be writing the rest of the book.

Nothing is ever all shining lights and glitter, even when we don't see it there is darkness, a bad side of the coin.



As a young lad Sivan spent many evenings at the circus with his family. He'd sneak off to a familiar trailer and watch with fascination the carnal events taking place between one particular clown and showgirl. Since childhood, Sivan's obsession started and lasted into his adulthood. Now hiding away from the regular world he keeps his secret where it belongs: tucked and hidden away.

Imogene comes from a trying past yet she has circus in her blood- she can't escape and wouldn't want to- she's a natural. Once Sivan sets his eyes on her the attraction is overpowering. But what happens in a world where no one loves clowns?

When I picked this up I knew it would be unlike anything I've read and suffice to say I was happily impressed! This was soooo good! And so unique. I did also get the added thrill of taunting my fiance that I was reading about a sexy clown doing naughty clown things (he is TERRIFIED of clowns).



One thing that really stood out to me was the classic hedonism in this author's writing style- even the words were sexy. The way the dancers moved, the application of make-up, everything had a sexually charged description. Even when there wasn't a lot of action happening, I was lost in the pages.

The characters themselves were also a welcomed change- it isn't often to read a darker romance with a feisty girl with a pixie haircut! No doe eyes here! Imogene was something new and a character unlike any I've ever read before. I couldn't imagine a better fallen hero like Sivan who could make a clown come alive in our day and age. Sivan was a rough and gruff rugby player but deep inside he's truly his own sadistic version of a sad clown.



Overall an amazing read & one that will stay with me for a long time. I highly recommend this book to readers across various genres!! xx
