What a great short read. I delved in to the story immediately. I am definitely going to check out more from this author.

I really liked this story. It was short, sweet, and heartfelt. The editing was pretty good, and it only took me about 20 minutes to read. If I had to complain about something, it would be that this wasn't a full length book. I would have liked to get to know the characters better.

I really enjoyed the Damnation Game by David Brian. This story has a female protagonist that is very easy to feel emotion toward, a story line that draws you in, and a killer who is craaaazy!

This is a short read, not very time consuming and well worth every minute. There is certainly material here that could have made for a larger story. I did, howerver, find myself literally engaged hoping that Kate would do, or not do something, or hoping for someone to help at certain points. Very fun for this to happen in a short story/novella/novelette. There is plenty of suspense, twist, and a surprise ending that kept me reading.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a new author to read that you may not be familiar with. I will be reading more from David Brian in the future.

Short story but fun to read. Goes very quickly. Characters were very charming. Just wish story had been longer with more development.

Great short story, very entertaining. The best part is the crisp, purposeful style and the energetic jog of the tempo.

I downloaded this when it was free recently. It's a quick read - took me less than an hour - but the writing flowed and the story was well narrated. A great love story. I suspect many potential buyers may be put off the price which seems excessively high for something so short. Shame as it made for entertaining and easy reading.

This is a very enjoyable story that although short still manages to pack a powerful punch and give you enough detail and back story that you don't feel cheated.

Beth likes, I mean really likes Dale but thinks she isn't good enough, too big etc. Dale likes, also really likes Beth, everything about Beth. He has been waiting for her for 4 years and now he just has to convince her of that. Her uncle throws an ultimatum into the mix just to get things moving. So Beth has to decide between leaving for good or The Mating Chase.

There are aspects to this book that I haven't read about - the knotting for one but I also enjoyed reading about the various other species that are there too, trolls etc.

A quick read that hits all the right spots. Definitely a series to read more of.

This is a wonderfully done novella, almost a short story. The story is tight without wasted words. The setting and plot is very much like a Sherlock Holmes mystery. The plot moved so quickly that it was impossible to predict. I loved it! I will be reading more of this series for certain, and will try out some of his other work as well.  I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to share my honest review.

Really enjoyed reading a story where the characters are smart about their survival rather than bumbling into predicaments for cheap thrills and drama.  The technical details of the equipment and tactics were spot on and I even feel like I learned a few things.  Definitely makes me want to spend more time on the range.  I would have liked to get to know the characters a little more.  Little tidbits of backstory or personality quirks would have helped me to connect with them.  It was a pretty short and straightforward read so there was plenty room for more.  An extra 25-50 pages of character development mixed in would have made this a 5-star for me.  Even with that criticism, I'm really looking forward to the next installment!

This story is just what is written above. It's told simply without too many words. Good for a quick read, to the point and doesn't drag on like some short stories can tend to do, (Even for being short) Not your typical one either, (Grimm tales and other constantly redone fantasy or fairy tales) It's a delight to have something new in my set of books that I can go back to and enjoy.

this is book 2 in the series and though it is very short and I read it in less than 1/2 hour I really enjoyed the story though it needs to be longer and there are some unanswered questions I would love to know what happened but it was a cute quick read,though I would not pay more than 99 cents because it is so short but an enjoyable read.

My husband and I both enjoyed this story.  Sterling's main character lives out a fantasy common to many men and women, receiving the opportunity to find out what might have happened at several points of his life if he had known then what he knows now.  The explicit sex scenes are great, the characterization pretty good for a short book where most characters get only one major scene, and besides all that there are elements of mystery to the story that contribute a lot of enjoyment for me.  It could have been a "Wizard of Oz" story, where it's not clear if his experiences are real or not, but Sterling subverts that expectation even as he shows the reader that his protagonist is more than just self-interested.  Won't say more, don't want to spoil it.  Well worth reading.

Hotshot Cowboy is a great short read. The story is well written with wonderful characters that play well off of each other. If you are looking for a quick, fun read, I highly recommend this story.

I really like this short story. I can see why Wolfe is expanding it into a book. Its very well written from the point of view of the anonymous main character who concisely relates the chain of events after the aliens (Guardians) take control and point out the folly of our existence. As an idealist, I can relate to Wolfes vision of a near perfect society in which greed, selfishness and shortsightedness have been replaced with lives of community and substance. If only it were so. Im looking forward to reading more about this great new world and the resistance that will surely complicate it.

I got this book as a free download and I am very glad I did, I loved it.  Another great short story by Matthew Iden, the only negative thing I have to say about it is that I wished it was longer.  I don't want to give anything away but since its a pretty quick read you will find out soon enough what is up with the Sword of Kings.  I definitely recommend this book.

I highly enjoyed this story. The most interesting thing to me was the limited perspective of a child in a situation where much information is hidden from him throughout the story. There are some dark things going on, but the story is unfolded in a very organic way, with good timing of using flashback story-telling. The decisions the characters have to make, and the consequences of those decisions are just as complex as they are in real life, so in that sense it was a very believable story and set of characters. I would definitely recommend it.
