Taming the Minotaur Kindle Edition

Note: This story is chaotic, absurdist art. I was in a mood when I wrote this book. This story is very Chuck Tingle-esque.

It's been years since Theseus embarked on a dating conquest. At the slightly annoyed encouragement from his longtime roommate and close friend, Ari, Theseus downloaded a dating app where he meets his most exciting challenge yet: a tall, dark stranger named Asterius. Though the bull-headed Asterius kept brushing him off, there was something about his strange broodiness that drew Theseus in. Maybe it was his intense aura or the mysterious way he held in his secrets, but there was something about this man that Theseus could not get out of his head. Online dating is difficult, as is battling the obstacles that stand in the way of a fun night out with friends. And when the two enter into a local trivia competition, who will come out on top?

This is a modern comedy, a light-hearted chaotic tale inspired by the legend of Theseus and Asterius.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My name is Eliza Loveless. I am an erotica writer. For about a decade, I have cut my teeth on fan-fiction, and now I’m ready to move into the publishing world.

I grew up in North Carolina and lived in California for a few years. I’ve now been given the opportunity to move around the world every couple of years, but my heart will always be split in half and buried in North Carolina red clay and California sand.

I write supernatural and sci-fi romance, as well as contemporary slice of life romance stories that showcases the human experience and what it means to learn from our struggles. I specialize in novel-length and short stories. If you’re interested in that. Watch this space.

2.0 out of 5 stars Completely chaotic and nonsensical
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2023

I've read a few stories that took on classic Greek tales and re-imagined them, but not one of them was as chaotic and disjointed as this one! It literally made no sense at all! The author takes a sledgehammer and tries to mash ancient times with modern and it just comes out as mush! There's no rhyme or reason to pretty much anything! The main plot is that Theseus - an egotistical and arrogant a-hole - decides to try his hand at online dating, where he meets this hot Minotaur (who's name I'm never going to spell). They chat for a hot minute before Mr Minotaur suddenly ghosts the "I never lose at anything and my ego is so big it needs it's own zip code" himbo. After one of himbo's friends has another person do an online search of the ghosting bull - which I don't understand why none of them could - himbo discovers that the Minotaur works at some bar and he basically rounds up his posse to go stalk "tall, dark and horned". After a strange game of trivia - which makes no sense to the plot - Minotaur invites himbo back into some private area where things go from ridiculously weird to downright WTF! There's a lot of violent foreplay - if running around and then beating each other is your thing - and then a weird sex scene that tries to incorporate reincarnation and mythological lives into the current time frame and by this point I've given up even trying to make sense of it! The ending was completely ignored anything that had just happened and was more like the author just said, " Let's just slap this on and pretend we know what we're doing, when in reality, we have no clue how to end this train wreck of a story!" I feel like I should be able to ask for compensation for the time I wasted reading this! But like that proverbial train wreck, I couldn't look away and had to keep looking to see if it actually redeemed itself at any point. The answer is "No!" I'd give this zero stars but Amazon won't post below a two star - in my experience - and I kind of want my experience to be shared. Lucky I got this on KU or I'd really be upset! I'm going to need a Tylenol and a drink after this headache! Ugh!

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2023

The author has the beginnings of good writing skill. The book needs world building and to be less rushed with its happenings. If time was taken to build up the world and flesh out the characters this would be an amazing story. I do hope the writing keeps building their skills and eventually puts out a well fleshed out novel.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this short story. Filled with delightful puns and great spicy scenes, it also spoke for the primal that sits in my dark soul with a lovely chase scene.

It was okay. Quite a few puncuation errors, inconsistent formatting between speaking lines and messaging. It was a little jarring going from "I wonder why our names are like this" to "I remember you from a past life." The fight was good. Sex was a little cringy. Can't say I was expecting greatness in 40 pages, but it was decent.

This was not quite what I was expecting, Carnal steam was there but to be honest I did not really understand the story my Greek mythos is limited to gods and goddesses. Glad I read it, but not really for me
