Xander: An Open-Door Policy Novella
By Anna Ambrose
Narrated by Hugh Bradley
Xander Penn has been around the block more times than he cares to count, always searching for an elusive something he’s never admitted to wanting, not even to himself.
Until now…
Then again, realizing what he craves doesn’t mean he accepts it. It’s one thing to dabble at the open-door policy club he belongs to, but quite another to declare it to others in the real world. After a harsh rejection pushes away the one person Xander wishes he could pull closer, he spirals down a dark path using meaningless sex more as a punishment than a pleasure.
When an unexpected ally makes him see he’s missing out on the best parts of life, Xander finally decides to open himself up to the possibility….
But by then, it may be too late.
Xander is an erotic romance novella intended for audiences 18 years and older. This novella is just over 30,000 words, and it contains a variety of M/M and M/F encounters.

An erotic Gay-for-You story of new discoveries.
I loved Xander and Liam. I started listening to Xander but felt there was a little more to the background between Xander and Liam so listened to Lucy first and I’d really recommend this, as it laid the foundation for Xander and Liam’s story, very much like a prologue would.
Xander and Liam are so hot together and I enjoyed their individual discoveries and approaches to their feelings and attraction to each other. I loved Liam’s kindness and care and his acceptance of his feelings for Xander. Xander on the other hand, I understand His ‘shock’ at being attracted to Liam and his unease with the feelings he’s developing but I didn’t like some of his actions. That being said I felt Anna did well to add a little more depth, character, and emotion to this second Open Door Policy Novella and it has a lot more complex emotions and character depth than Lucy’s story.
I loved the happy ending and with great narration, with different dialects for the characters, it just made it that much more enjoyable! A great erotic listen!

Lucy: An Open-Door Policy Novella
By Anna Ambrose
Narrated by JD Elcie
Born into a strictly religious family, 19-year-old Lucy Whitman likes to think she’s gotten past her stifling upbringing. After all, she’s not a virgin. But when her best guy friend of 10 years admits he’s part of a community with an “open-door policy” on sex, Lucy is intrigued. She’s always wanted Rylan with a fierceness bordering on obsession, but he has never treated her as anything other than a sister.
Getting him to agree to take her may be her only shot at having him in her bed, but Rylan’s reluctant agreement comes with three stipulations.
One: She can’t tell anyone. Two: She’ll have to be okay with him being her main partner, even if it’s completely weird for them both. Three: She has to do anything he tells her to – no questions asked.
Lucy knows promising to obey is her best chance to venture outside the box. Now, if she can only find the courage to let go of her inhibitions, she’ll have the perfect opportunity to discover her true self while going after exactly what she wants – Ry.
Lucy is an erotic romance novella meant for 18+ adult listeners only. This novella contains a variety of group M/F, M/M, and F/F scenes in a friends-to-lovers college-sex-club setting.

A journey of sexual discovery and love.
I really liked Lucy and Ryan and for such a short erotic novel there was a lot of depth to their characters. It is explicitly erotica and features group sex but I enjoyed the ‘secret’ society that is the Open Door Club. The sexual discovery for Lucy is very extensive and features MM interactions. As mentioned in my review of Xander, another of Anna’s Open Door Policy Novellas I felt this story laid the foundations for Xander and Liam’s story with Lucy’s insight and the interactions noted and played on through this novella.
Very erotic, steamy and sexy with a happily ever after for two best friends!!
