I always love reading erotic romance written by men, and I read a few men writers frequently. One thing I love about S.L. Carpenter’s work is we often see his humor in his stories and I always feel like I’m getting to see a little bit into the male psyche. Because like it or not, men and women view sex, love and relationships much differently and because he is a man this spills over into his work. This isn’t a bad thing; in fact I find it quite fascinating.The opening of Full Service cracks me up because as I was reading it I was waiting for the punch line. I knew it was coming, because this has S.L’s humor all over it, “Tall, golden tanned skin and the cock the size of a cucumber.” Now in my warped brain, I’m thinking full sized or baby gherkin?…because that of course is the way my dirty mind works. Now that I’ve got your attention let me say that I enjoyed this story about a woman, Rachel, who is tired of bad dates and even worse relationships. She decides it’s time to be aggressive and get what she wants out of a man which is good sex and someone who she can be herself with.Rachel finds her man at her local full service gas station (and hey, I want one of these) and things heat up quickly. I like that there was no BS between these two, they laid out the parameters and went forward. The sex scenes are graphic and once again I’m reminded of why I like reading male authors, they focus on things differently that women and it shows in these scenes. I’m quite sure there are many women out there who would love to have the same focus bestowed upon them by their significant other (and it makes me think S.L.’s wife is one lucky lady)!While a no strings, highly sexual affair sounds nice we all know there’s going to be a bump in the road. Past heartache, leads to some hasty decision making, which leads to some slightly stalkerish behavior, and finally some make up sex. Would I have liked to know more about the characters and a little more plot development? Absolutely, BUT going in I knew this was a short novella and thus I wasn’t disappointed. This story if funny and entertaining, it’s the perfect quickie for when you need a fix and you have little time. Full Service will no doubt get your motor running and ready to ride, or drive, or oh heck…you get the picture!Review copy provided for an honest review.
