Scratched: A Westmouthshire Short Story Kindle Edition
Carol is drowning her sorrows. Stuck at another tedious business dinner while her husband, Jack, talks deals, she feels utterly invisible. Fueled by Chardonnay and frustration over their passionless marriage, she escapes to the multi-story car park, seeking solace near Jack's gleaming Ferrari – the one thing he seems to care about.
What starts as a tipsy, mischievous fantasy atop the expensive bonnet takes an unexpected turn when a watchful stranger emerges from the shadows. He's seen her, and worse, he's seen the accidental scratch her hairgrip left on the pristine paintwork.
But his proposed method of "compensation" isn't monetary. It's carnal. Right there. Right now.
Caught between fear and a desperate craving for the excitement missing from her life, Carol faces a choice. Will she give in to this dangerous impulse? And when her oblivious husband finally arrives, fuming over his precious car, will the only evidence of her transgression be the scratch on the Ferrari... or the marks left on her?
"Scratched" is a provocative and steamy short story exploring marital neglect, repressed desire, and the thrilling consequences of a single, reckless act.

About the author

On his twitter page, Marc Nobbs describes himself as "Author of erotic romance, Blogger, Accounts Manager, Husband, Dad. But not in that order."
He started writing as hobby just after leaving university in 1998, and in 2005 his first short story was published by the subscription website Ruthie's Club. Phaze Books published his first novel, Charlotte's Secret, in 2008. Eternally & Evermore, his forth Phaze novel, was published in 2010.
Originally from The Black County, Marc now lives just a stone's throw from where Princess Diana is buried and the Gunpowder Plot was plotted. It's far cry from his inner-city roots, but that's what an education does for you. He studied at the University of Aberystwyth and the University of Swansea.
When he's not writing, blogging, counting other people's money or being a loving husband and father, Marc enjoys the peace and quiet of his allotment garden, where he grows all types of quite magnificent fruit and vegetables.

4 of 5 stars
For a sexy short story that will make your temperature rise and make you giggle then I can definitely recommend this.
I never know what to expect when reading the work of this author which is a brilliant thing because I'm always taken by surprise everytime. I didn't expect this to make me laugh as much as it did .
A quick 10 minute read you can enjoy over a coffee or a soak in the bath :)
