Reviewed: Gerbil Falls in Love

Animal Attraction Cover“I’ll admit that part of my bias for ‘Gerbil Falls in Love’ by Dianne Fox is the title, but I also loved that the hamster’s life and the narrator’s mirrored each others. Both had been solitary for too long; both took some time to adjust to a new companion. While I’m all for a rush of passion, it was a nice change of pace to read about guys who dated a bit before getting into bed. Once they did though, things heated right up.”
– Kathleen Bradean, Erotica Revealed (read the review here, December 2007.)

“I absolutely loved ‘Gerbil Falls in Love’. Finn’s lingering sadness over the death of his lover and his obvious caring for his pet made him a very sympathetic character. I really liked the way Finn and Decker’s relationship developed slowly and naturally, unlike in many short stories I’ve read. The sexual tension built along with Finn and Decker’s friendship, and when the love scene finally came it was explosive! Dianne Fox did a wonderful job of creating multilayered characters within an emotional, hot story that adds a great deal to this anthology.”

“The stories by Dianne Fox, Kiernan Kelly and J. Rocci will have you smiling at how easily humans are maneuvered by the pets that own them and how following a pet will lead to wonderful and unexpected surprises.”
– Bella, Two Lips Reviews (read the review here.)

“Dianne Fox writes with almost visible tension throughout the waiting game of ‘Gerbil Falls in Love.’”

Animal Attraction has something for everyone.”
