PLEASURE ON THE RUN ***** 5.0 out of 5 stars “René Rules!” “This is a sensational book. René Blanco is a gifted and highly entertaining writer. You’ll love it. I can’t wait to see what he does next!” Reviewed by Michael Levin on Amazon

“It’s probably one of the best books I read so far!”

Very easy reading. Thoughts flow and amazing descriptions. I couldn’t put the book down because you just wanted to know what will happen in the story. The characters are people I can relate too, with all of their odd emotions and fears. But the twists in the plots are really unexpected like in “Bloody Thighs”…which is one of my favorite stories. “Personal Slave” is a funny one, but makes a huge statement. I definitely recommend this book. It was so good now my pals want to borrow it. Reviewed by Veronica Tejeda on Amazon

ADULT STORIES is the latter type of book.” — Chris Carpenter, PhD: chriscarpenterphd@gmail.com
