About this ebook
Virginal twenty-two-year-old Mary has just inherited a sex shop in Florida from her mother. After a long drive from California, she arrives at her deceased mother’s house only to be confronted immediately with two equally sexy strangers: the strong, silent John and the irreverent, taunting Max. She’s innocent, almost completely untouched, but feels a completely uncharacteristic pull to each man. Shocking even herself, she realizes it’s not an unwelcome desire.
Max is a playboy who knows how to give women what they want, but John… John might just be able to give Mary something even she doesn’t know she needs…

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I received this from NetGalley for an honest review.
I tried really hard and wanted to like this story. I just couldn’t. It wasn’t bad, just OK. I’m not even sure I can explain what it was that I didn’t like very well. It wasn’t just one thing.
Mary, a virgin, inherits her mother’s bar and sex store. I didn’t really have a problem with this; I mean you leave your family what you have. It was when she shows up in Florida and upon first meeting Max she’s letting him kiss and fondle her breast. Really? Talk about moving fast, especially for a virgin.
Then along comes John and Mary agrees to be taught how to have sex and dominate? She went from virginal to kinky sex kitten in less than an afternoon. I didn’t feel connected to the characters in any way really. That may be due to the fact that this is the first installment of three. Basically a novel has been cut into thirds and it shows. This story doesn’t end it just stops! I realize this is growing trend and I don’t like it. It makes me feel like I’m getting cheated. I may have given this more stars if it was completed, but with the way it ended I just couldn’t. I’m not sure if I will or can read the next installments.
I recommend this to those who want just erotica.
Also posted on Darker Passions - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Fetish Box: Part One by Nicole Camden is not for the faint of heart. If you like hardcore erotica this might be a good series to start. With that being said, I do not feel that this book should have been broken up the way that it is. There is not much that happens in this first installment and ends abruptly with no motivation to continue the series to see what happens next.This book is based around Mary Deupree, who is a 24 year old virgin who inherits a sex shop and several other businesses from a mother that she has never met. When she arrives at the house, she meets two very good looking men, who were close with her mother, who she is instantly attracted to. During this first installment, Mary wars with herself on who she wants to pursue, because as soon as she gets there she decides it’s the right time to lose her virginity. Who will she chose and will she only chose one of them or both?I’m not sure that I would spend money on this first installment since it seems that nothing happened and it ends abruptly, but I am interested in how the following installment will compare so I will probably see what happens in the next one. I would probably wait until there are a few installments out and get them all at one time and read them all together as one book.

About the Author
PrologueVirgins shouldn’t own sex shops. That’s what my best friend, Lille, short for Lillehammer, said when I told her about the inheritance from my mother. I didn’t disagree. I hadn’t even known my mother; the way I’d heard it, she was definitely not a virgin, but she couldn’t have known that I was one. At least, I hoped that wasn’t common knowledge.
My father never talked about her. He’d met her on a spring break trip he and his friends had taken down in Florida in 1988. He’d never been much of a partyer, preferring to spend his spring breaks exploring Native American cultural sites or reading enormous tomes on obscure topics such as the impact of tea exports on the spread of colonialism, but some friends of his had talked him into it, I guess. I was the result.
The only time he’d ever mentioned her had been two years ago, after my grandmother’s funeral, when he’d had too much Scotch. I’d come home from college for the funeral, and we’d been sitting at the breakfast table with a bottle of Dewar’s between us, looking at the assortment of tinfoil-covered dishes and Tupperware containers from well-meaning church ladies. He’d shaken his head and said, Your mother loved to cook.
I remember thinking that he was talking about someone else, or else he’d meant to say grandmother, but no, he’d been talking about the flame-haired, freckle-skinned mother that I’d never met. I had one picture of her standing on the beach in a tiny turquoise-and-white-striped bikini, her cheeks sunburned, hand on one hip as she smiled into the camera.
I’d never met her. He’d only known her for a week—one fateful week. Apparently she’d written a letter to my father shortly after my birth, telling him that she couldn’t afford to take care of me and asking for his help. My grandmother had received the letter instead, and a week later, I was a permanent resident of Fate, Georgia.
My grandmother Ruth had raised me alone, for the most part, in our small home in north Georgia, with my father a vague impression in the background, reading with his noise-canceling headphones like giant black beetles on his ears. He was a professor of history at a small, private college; he drove a gray Volkswagen and seemed mostly content with his life.
My grandmother, a tall, slender, iron-haired woman with a knack for gardening, had believed life had two purposes: raising a family and worshipping God as he was meant to be worshipped, in the Baptist church.
As the bastard consequence of an affair with a trashy whore from Florida, I was subject to her constant scrutiny. She was never unkind, just distant and watchful. So long as I was quiet, respectful, and nondescript, she was generally approving, and though sometimes I felt like running through the streets naked and dancing like a wild woman, I generally tried to please her whenever possible.
I don’t remember being unhappy, really. Like my father, I am quiet and a little shy, a dreamer by nature, though I’ve always gravitated toward art rather than books. My grandmother taught me to sew, knit, and embroider when I was little, and starting in grade school, I began taking art lessons along with the piano and ballet lessons my grandmother insisted would turn me into a lady.
When I was eighteen, I received a scholarship to a private art school in San Francisco. My grandmother had refused to help me move, claiming that California was a den of iniquity and sure that I would return a tattooed lesbian with a drug habit like my mother.
Had I possessed a more rebellious nature, I may have done just that. Lord knew I had plenty of friends from the art world that fit that description. Instead I am a slightly hippyish twenty-four-year-old with a penchant for floral skirts, Birkenstocks, UGG boots, and paint-splattered overalls.
I fit in with the southern Florida crowd about as well as a sprig of lavender among birds-of-paradise, yet here I was, driving through Fort Lauderdale in my beat-up Nissan with all my worldly possessions (mostly canvases and art supplies) filling every conceivable nook and cranny.
I’d nearly turned around several times—once when I’d been driving through Oklahoma and a tornado warning had kept me huddled in the bathroom of the Motel 6 where I’d stopped for the night, and once when I’d nearly stepped on a snake at a rest stop in North Florida. Somehow God had seemed to be telling me that my current path was not in my best interest.
But the other side of me, the artist who loved to paint nudes and landscapes screaming with color, the part of me that relished the adventure—even the hint of danger—in my current trip, the part of me that dreamed of wild sex and madness, thought that inheriting a dirty-sex shop in Hollywood, Florida, was the catalyst that would finally set my life in motion.
chapter
------Two days later, on Thursday morning, after meeting my mother’s attorney in Miami, I carefully followed the directions he’d given me, negotiating around a gigantic lake in the center of what was supposed to be my mother’s street. The entire length of the narrow, little lane was packed with motels that looked as if they’d been built in the fifties; I couldn’t wait to paint them.
My mom’s house, when I finally located it, turned out to be on the corner facing the beach. I loved the beach, but somehow the house had been different in my imagination. I’d pictured some Spanish-style mansion with arched windows and a graceful courtyard with a fountain and lots of palm trees and bougainvillea. Something old-world. Maybe like the grandmother’s villa in An Affair to Remember.
And instead . . . Holy hell, it is a disaster. I parked in the driveway and left the engine running as I stared at it, wondering if a hurricane had come through without anyone noticing. The place
