Freebie Fiction Friday - Putting the TG in TGIF!

Well, if it's Friday, then that must been it's time for Freebie Fiction Friday . . . time to put the 'TG' in TGIF (and the 'FD' in Friday)!

Every Friday I take the initiative to search through thew newly free titles on Amazon, and to identify those that might be of interest to trans* readers, fans, and lovers. Even if you don't have a Kindle, you can still download the titles through one of Amazon's free reading applications, and covert it (if need be) with Calibre. I can tell you I do most of my reading on my iPad, using Kindle for iPad, and it works beautifully.

Please do be sure to check the price before downloading anything, though, as most freebies are limited time offers, and some are specific to certain regions.

High-Heeled Coup by Kylie Gable

The world of high finance can be a brutal, cut-throat, dangerous place to play. Even the best players can find themselves burnt out before their time, and professional rivalries can get very personal, very quickly. High-Heeled Coup is the story of one such rivalry where both sides have played dirty, and where mistakes have been made, but where there can be only one winner.

As usual, the strength of Kylie Gable’s story is in her characters. She has a knack for quickly establishing believable, instantly recognizable characters that few within the genre can match. Steve’s personality comes out in his words, revealing him to be a sore loser and dirty fighter, even before we hear a single word about his tactics. Kendra is a bit of a different case, as we only get to see her through his eyes, but it’s clear she’s not only far more clever, but also far more vengeful.

Where most authors would be content to let the story end with a little public humiliation, watching as the alpha male is brought down, that’s where Gable begins. She actually takes things much further, going so far as to give Steve a chance to earn his way back into a position of at least some respect, but with the understanding that he’s on the bottom of a new power exchange – literally. The scene where Kendra turns the tables, bending Steve over her desk, is absolutely exquisite, especially with the lust-fueled choice he makes at the end!

I’ll be honest, I didn’t see the final twist coming, but I loved it. Seriously, it’s absolutely perfect the way Gable resolves the coup. By far, one of the happiest, most satisfying endings she’s offered up to date.

Bet I Can Feminize My Brother! by Claire Bear & Courtney Captisa

What could be more dangerous than four teenage girls with wild ideas and far too much time on their hands? Not much, especially when one of them has something to prove, fate dangles the bait of a county fair womanless pageant before them, and there’s three months of car payments on the line when they Bet I Can Feminize My Brother! Their poor, unwitting – and unwilling – brothers have no idea what they’re in for.

For one brother, it begins with a little blackmail, fueled by photos of a sleepy feminization. For another, it begins with a little ego stroking and outright bribery. For one lucky brother, it’s pretty much a dream come true, no blackmail or coercion required, while for the last . . . well, feminization involves a lot of brute force and big sister bullying. The point being, no matter what your tastes in feminization schemes or sissy boy mindsets, there’s bound be one brother’s story in which you can lose yourself.

Much to my delight, the pageant itself takes up nearly half the story, giving us plenty of time to enjoy the sissies on display. There are some interesting thoughts regarding gender expressed amidst all the laughs and embarrassment, and even if the pageant itself doesn’t end quite as it should (these things are always rigged), there’s a cute little opening left by Claire Bear & Courtney Captisa for a sequel.

All-in-all, a fun, clean, innocent little tale that's full of feminine frills, and sure to please the most curious of brothers or sisters.
