About this audiobook

"Enjoying pain with your pleasure is something you either get, or you don't. If you get it, then you don't really need it explained, because you know how good it feels, and if you don't get it then no amount of talking is going to convince you it makes sense."

But sometimes you have to explain the unexplainable, especially if the love of your life needs to understand, or she'll leave you. Jason Schuyler is one of Anita Blake's best friends and favorite werewolves, with benefits. J.J. is his lady love, an old flame from childhood who dances at one of the top ballet companies in New York. She's accomplished, beautiful, and she's crazy about him, too. Neither of them wants to be monogamous, so what could go wrong?

J.J. is enthusiastically bisexual, with an emphasis on the female side of things. She plans to keep sleeping with women, because Jason can't meet that need, just like she can't meet Jason's need for rough sex and bondage. J.J. doesn't understand why Jason isn't content to go elsewhere for a need she can't fulfil, so Jason asks Anita to help him explain.

Anita is having her own relationship growing pains with her only female lover ever, Jade. Jason suggests that J.J. might be able to help Anita with her girl problem, while she helps him with his kinky explanations. With some encouragement from a few other lovers in Anita's life she reluctantly agrees, and J. J. makes plans to fly into town for an experience that none of them will ever forget.

    This is technically part of the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series, I suppose, but it's also a huge departure. While relationships always play a key part in these books, their plots normally revolve around some mystery, crime, etc. Here, Hamilton took a step sideways to produce a small book that's focused entirely on Anita's romantic entanglements and relationships. For readers who are long-time fans of the Anita Blake series, reactions will probably depend heavily on how invested they are in the personalities and relationships, vs. the action/mystery elements of the series. I imagine that readers of PNR who come to these books through that lens will find this a welcome departure, while others (like me) will be a little bit disappointed, but still invested enough in the characters to want to read the book.Still, unlike some of the other books in the series, this definitely isn't one that should be read by itself. If you're a longtime follower of the series, you might well enjoy it with the above caveat, but if you've never read these books, this is not the one to try---it's more of an aberration in the series, and so heavily dependent on the reader already knowing the characters and being invested in them, it's just not a good entry point.

    I had a pretty good idea that this novella would not be my cup of tea before I borrowed it from the library. I generally find the sex scenes in Anita Blake novels unsexy, interminable, and dull. Normally, I'm in favour of judging a book by the standards of what it's trying to be rather than what I want it to be, so giving a one-and-a-half-star rating to a book I was almost bound to hate seems sort of unfair, but I can't help it—I simply found it too awful to rate it higher. In a way, the story's strengths worked against it, since the snippets of character development kept me reading when I would otherwise have just abandoned it.

    The short novella was not what I expected, but in light of Ms. Hamilton's recent works it pretty much matches her latest style. Sex with multiple partners abound in this novella. This book could have been so much more. Disappointed!

    This was one of the shorter, sex-focused books that intersperse Anita's more elaborate adventures.

    This latest novella in the Anita Blake vampire hunter consists of just a few scenes that last chapters. Anita is confronted by her lovers with a problem that Jason has with his new girlfriend. Also Anita is having problems with her girlfriend as well. The group decides the best way to work on the relationship problems is to have an orgy. Most of the pages is dedicated to the six people in bed. A few people leave the room and then more sex happens and then relationship decisions are made in after sex cuddle session. The entire thing almost felt as if it was chopped out of one of the books early on since there are no bad guys attacking someone part of the pack or vampire group or even raising a zombie. If you care about reading lots of sex then this will be enjoyable for you, if not read the first few chapters and the last chapter or so to see what is happening relationship wise in the book. I almost will not be surprised if this is summed up in the next book that comes out.

    Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy I've only ever read one other Anita Blake novel and after reading that book I experienced for the first time wanting to unread a story due to reasons too long to write here. Since then, I've been hesitant to even pick up the first few books of this series which are supposed to be excellent according to everyone I've spoken to. I decided to give JASON a chance as I was prepared for the random sexual encounters, throngs of characters, and over explaining of Anita's relationships. I thought I was prepared to have fun with the sex-capade that would be this book especially since the focus would be on Anita's friend Jason and therefore would be a tad different. Wow, was I wrong.Jason's issue and its resolution is regulated to the side as we are invited to read pages and pages about Anita's complex relationships and personal issues. Now I am pretty darn open about poly relationships but the sheer amount of men this woman is connected to is just ridiculous. I think Anita had a relationship with a barely legal kid according to a passing reference in this story. I think the only other line this woman can cross is bestiality. Although she is having sex with shifters so I guess it could count as bestiality if they did it in were form. I am certain there is a chart out there with all of Anita's relationship connections because someone somewhere has to have figured out this tangled web.Okay, the plot. I'm pretty okay with a story that has lots of sex though I like a bit more non-sex related action than what was in JASON of which was none. It was all rather not sexy sex and talking. Oh is there talking; talking during sex, talking getting ready for the sex, talking after sex, and more talking. It was work to read through the sex scenes especially since they talked so much through the sex. The issue of Jason wanting to show his girlfriend some rough sex is resolved through demonstrating rough sex with Anita. That's the story. Talking about and planning sex, then having said sex with Jason's issue resolved in a page or two.With my previously read Anita Blake book I remember getting so frustrated with the talking and standing around to have sex with Anita (she needs to power up with orgies apparently?) while the bad guy ran off and created havoc that I just skipped to the last few pages to see if they got around to catching the bad guy. I think they did and by golly I was rooting for him to get away with it too. JASON doesn't have to worry about silly things like a bad guy or the world ending or plot when there is overly detailed sexytime to be planned and had! I stuck with tradition and skipped to the last few pages to see if anything interesting happens. Guess what...nothing interesting happened.

    Look, it's the "I'm going to justify my lifestyle choices and all my actions" book!

    Let's have nonstop sex and loosely justify the actual reasons for it in character.

    Okay. I really like LKH, but this book disappointed me. Granted it was full of sex and new discoveries this book didn't really do anything but emphasize that Jade and Anita aren't working well together and that, while Jason and his girlfriend are alike in personality as they try to help Anita with her issues with Jade. I would have liked to see more development between all involved than what was there. I know it was a novella but my curiosity was not sated. It only left me with questions. When is Jade going to face her issues? Is Anita really going to let go of some guilt about Jade and call her issues as they arise or is she stuck in a rut with our beautiful, wounded tigress? Does J.J. break it off with the controlling ex? There are more but I can't remember them at this precise moment.

    I was not impressed with this one. I loved and have been a long time fan of LKH. I am truly struggling to stay one at this point as the books are no longer following the theme or quality of the original series.

    No mystery here, almost no story. Love life is better as spice in book than whole book. Is this a wish fulfillment book for her?
