When I saw that Christine D’Abo had written a choose your own adventure set in her Long Shots Series I got really excited. I used to love choose your own adventure books when I was a kid and what better way to re-embrace them as an adult than as an erotic choose your own adventure? The book follows Tegan through the grand re-opening of the sex club Maverick’s. There were a lot of choices to be made, many different ways we could take Tegan since she is a switch and of course I had to explore them all.The Dom Grant: This set of choices is where I would have preferred to stay. Grant was all sorts of hot and dominant, but also showed a softer side of himself by admitting his interest and checking on her. He wasn’t all Dom all the time, which was nice. And he definitely put Tegan through a really hot set of scenes. The ending choice where Grant shows up at her door is my favorite, of course. I would love to read a book with Grant and Tegan together later on because I want more of them.Eli: Eli was my least favorite of the three men. He seemed overly whiny and clingy for someone who was a friend and nothing more. There was a moment at the end of the Grant/Tegan choices that made him seem even whinier. The scenes between Eli and Tegan were nowhere near as hot as those between Grant and Tegan and Adam and Tegan. I just didn’t get Eli and I couldn’t figure out why she was even attracted to him. The sex between them was hot, but I think that is just because Christine D’Abo knows how to write the hell out of a sex scene.The Submissive Adam: I’m not a big fan of submissive men, which sometimes makes me laugh since I am not always a fan of overly dominant men either. Sometimes reading about submissive men kills things for me and takes me out of the hotness of the book. I kind of liked Adam though and I liked that they knew each other before. The scenes between these two were ridiculously hot, although not quite up to Dom Grant status.The private rooms upstairs: The private rooms were interesting even though they didn’t include any of the guys and Tegan didn’t really participate in much. She watched an orgy which was pretty hot. The clothing room was a bit odd, but it was the wax room that really made this part of the story work. In the wax room we got to meet Jen and see Tegan actually get into the action. It was definitely hot and worthy of a repeat performance.I would be interested in seeing a book where Grant is Tegan’s steady bed buddy, but where Adam makes appearances whenever Tegan needs to let her dominant side show. I think that would be the best of both worlds. As long as Eli doesn’t show his face anymore, then I think I would be happy with wherever Tegan went; even if where she goes includes the unexpected someone that can show up at her door at the end.Arc provided by the publisher via Netgalley for an honest review
