The Weekend: Sexual Adventures with a Twist by Eva Marie is a sex-filled romp through a weekend camping trip with a group of college students out in the woods. Mary had a nightmare of being in a red bra and underwear and being chased through the woods. It frightened her and left her stomach feeling uneasy. Xavier, Mary’s boyfriend, is logical and not in tune with Mary’s emotional well-being. They have a great sex life, but isn’t there more? Russ gambles with gangsters, is rich, lazy, a player, and lives his life in a carefree manner. His girlfriend Valentina uses sex for his money. They have a great sex life, but isn’t there more? Trjang is smart and works hard at his internship at an investment house. His girlfriend Ajita loves to look at herself in the mirrors he keeps around their house and has zero emotional stability. They have a great sex life, but isn’t there more? All six go camping together at Russ’s family cabin, but when it’s found to be burnt down, they decide to camp without shelter deeper into the woods. What fate awaits the six campers? Was Mary’s nightmare just a dream or is it a premonition?

This book was written in easy-to-understand language and was not difficult to read. There were only a couple of mistakes, so errors did not affect the reading. There is profanity, especially when it comes to the naming of body parts in slang terms. This story also has a lot of explicit scenes. I would put this novel in the erotic genre with how many sex scenes there are. There is a scene with a sexual assault in it and a scene with attempted assaults, so if these are sensitive subjects, it would be best to avoid this book.

The thing I liked best about this book was the unabashed way that the author wrote the explicit scenes. A lot of times, these scenes are written in very flowery language and it’s just not the same reading experience. Depending on the novel, it works, but sometimes it’s just downright fun to read something a little bit naughtier. This story was that-naughty. It was detailed and it wasn’t afraid to use slang terms that would make my mother blush.

The thing I liked least about this book was the “thriller” scene. This book was touted as a sexy romp and a thriller. The thrilling part of the novel wasn’t that exciting to me. Without spoiling, there was a lot of chasing and there was a reason for it, but there were other things that could have been more engaging. The gangsters at the beginning of the novel who shot at Russ could have been after them, or whoever burned down the campsite could have been stalking them. I just didn’t find the actual event that took place that suspenseful.

Overall, I thought the book was fun, if imperfect. I would recommend it to someone looking for a short erotica piece. It would be a great beach read. I would not recommend it to someone looking for a suspense or thriller book. This is definitely for adults, and I would not recommend it to teens or children. As for the rating, I have to take away a star for the lack of thrilling that the book attempted. I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars.

This sounds like a fun book for fans of erotica---perhaps a poolside read. I like that the author takes a no-holds-barred approach when writing the sex scenes; I think fans of this genre will appreciate that. Thanks for the lovely review.

I've got an interest reading romance books but this one seems too erotic. I'll pass it. Enjoyed reading your review

[Francis Mendoza]

Maybe something terrible happened or someone belong to them provoked the one who stalking them. I don't know

[NetMassimo]

Honestly, I'd be more interested if the book had a better-developed thriller element. From your review, it really seems an erotic novel with a thriller façade. Thank you for your great review!

Sounds like an interesting erotica. Would give it a try sometime. Thanks for the honest and detailed review.

So in all honesty I clicked on this review purely due to the title of the book, which is the author's intent I'm guessing. My main issue with a lot of erotica is most stories lack substance, and I am one of those people who believe that you can have a great story with the naughty bits in there too. I don't like how this one has a terrible thriller aspect in it. Just knowing that makes me not want to read this story. Great review!

Nice review! I'm not sure I'd enjoy reading this book, but I guess fans of erotic thrillers might.

Sounds like a lot of coupling happened in this book until life actually happened. Beautiful and lighthearted review. I like!
