When passions are laid bare, it can be sensual, exciting and worth every minute. The same can be said about BARE NECESSITIES: SENSUOUS TALES OF PASSION, the collection of naughty gems and poems written by Hazel Mills.
Containing 11 stories of sexual candor, Bare Necessities combines a little bit of romance and a little bit of sin to create a short-but-sweet romp worth reading. Bare Necessities begins with "A Lover is Born," where Laila is introduced to Gabe at her book club meeting and is instantly entranced. She wants to get to know Gabe better, and what better way than to host the next gathering at her place. The bash is a success in more ways than one, as the two ladies manage to get their own party started.
In "Surrender," a workaholic husband and wife put the spice back into their marriage by attending a couple's retreat. Yet, this isn't just a boring therapy session; it's an experience that allows them to seek unknown pleasures, and from it the married lovers learn that it's okay to let go and explore their freaky sides.
Then in the most poignant tale of Bare Necessities, "Sweet Home Alabama," a Philadelphia transplant returns for her family reunion in Sweet Home, a small town with even smaller dreams. Despite escaping, Tracy has only one regret after leaving her hometown: abandoning her childhood sweetheart, Monica. She vows to find her - and finally be with the woman she never stopped loving.
There more treasures in Bare Necessities, and Mills doesn't hesitate to give them to you. Her stories are funny, warm, and hot in just the right places. Even though the book has a mere hundred or so pages, it doesn't fail to get you fired up. I look forward to reading more from Mills - hopefully in a book with a much higher page count.
