The Doll

The Doll is a paranormal contemporary, a modern tale with a bit of magic in the air. In an old curio shop, Jenny buys a wooden figure that reminds her of a favorite toy from her childhood, a male fashion model doll. One difference is that the figure is anatomically correct rather than having molded underwear. Another is that the figure's head has no features, is completely smooth.

She names it Charlie, but shortly after she brings it home, an invisible man shows up in her bed, or couch, or shower—wherever she is—and makes love to her. She realizes he's everything she's wished for in a lover...except real.

Can she give The Doll up and look for a man who isn't a fantasy?

"Is a wooden doll the key to finding the man of her dreams?"
...Short and sweet, THE DOLL is a great quickie. Although I would have liked a longer story, Ms. Starr makes good use of the limited word count allotted to her. The entire story is told from Jenny's point of view, which makes sense considering the storyline. Give this one a try for a fast, fun read!

Sharyn McGinty for In the Library Reviews
...Cricket Starr's debut novel THE DOLL is a beautiful fairy-tale, full of warmth and emotion. While short, the reader is, nonetheless, left knowing Jenny cares deeply for Charlie and it's not just because he brings her sexual pleasure. Cricket Starr is one author I shall be reading in the future.

...I found it highly satisfying and arousing. The love scenes are sinfully sexy. This short story certainly belongs on my “keeper” shelf and I am looking forward to Ms. Starr’s upcoming work.
