All through my reading Burning Tigress I shook my head at this missed opportunity. Author Jade Lee is a good writer with a strong knowledge of 19th century Shanghai. When she’s describing the Chinese scolding each other and struggling with life among English people whom they detest, she is marvelous. In this fourth book in…
The price and ISBN above are valid at Triskelion As a high school student, I was absolutely obsessed with the story of Cupid and Psyche. It struck some chord in my all-too-literate self, a chord so strong that when I made it to France six years later and stood in front of the famous statue…
The Bounty was originally published with another e-publisher, but has been significantly edited and expanded (adding about 5,000 words) for the Samhain reissue. It is worth another look if you enjoyed it the first time, and is a treat for Western Historical fans as well as those who have never tried a book by Beth…
Avon has gotten into the Erotic Romance genre with two simultaneous releases in its new trade-size imprint Avon Red. Parlor Games and Other Stories is the historical companion piece to the contemporary anthology If This Bed Could Talk.
The big news is that Avon is dipping its corporate toes into the romantica waters and – initially, at any rate – the results are pretty good. With three stories featured in this anthology, one is quite good, a second not bad, and a third . . . well, if it’s less than stellar, it…
I love the uninhibited, laissez-faire feel of Emma Holly’s erotica. The sensuality level is out of this world, but always in combination with an entertaining story, a HEA, and well-drawn, interesting protagonists. All U Can Eat is the kind of book I adore: a frivolous mix of romantic erotica and tragicomic whodunit. All seems well…
When it comes to erotic fiction, I’m prepared to encounter sexual material that may not necessarily appeal to me. After all, it’s pretty much anything goes in erotica, so I try to keep an open mind. But I’m never prepared to deal with flat, unappealing characters, an awkward narrative style, and/or a story that moves…
What is an Erotic Romance? Is it primarily a love story with much more explicit sex, or is it a bunch of sex with some romance? Or is the distinction even worth considering? And what is the difference between Erotic Romance and Erotica? I thought I knew the answers to these questions, yet found myself…
Michele Bardsley’s Erotic Tales from The Lust Bastion: Nefertari 9.0, a short story of about 21,000 words, cheered me up this rainy afternoon. Nefertari 9.0 is a bawdy, fluffy, fun novella about love and lust’s caprices, and how every geeky Jack will find his geeky Jill. You don’t stumble over a vulnerable Jerry Lewis character…
Veteran Ellora’s Cave author Jodi Lynn Copeland knows how to deliver red-hot sensuality, as she ably demonstrates in her new erotic romance anthology After Hours. If only the stories around those scorching sex scenes showed the same spark. Instead, each of these novellas features a standard issue romance genre premise most readers have seen many…
