1001 Nights: Exotica [Paperback]

Cris Newport (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 10, 1999

A collection of unique erotica stories and artwork by Pride & Imprints' best-selling author Cris Newport.

"She finishes her tea. I slice a ripe peach in half and twist the two halves together until they slide apart. Offering her the half without the pit, I watch her touch the fruit to her lips, watch her tongue explore the smooth flesh and the soft skin before she bites hungrily into it.

I lift the pit out with my fingers and set it gently on the glass tabletop. With deliberate casualness, I trace my fingers across the fruit's dark center, asking her a question and listening to her breathing as she struggles to concentrate on two things at once. 'I'm sorry, what?' she says finally, her eyes rising from my hands to my face.

'I asked if you were ready to finish.'

'Yes,' she says softly. 'I'm ready.'"

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The stories in Cris' collection were so powerful I was knocked on my ass. I laughed hard and cried hard and took a lot of cold showers." -- Sandra Vaughn

"There is balance here and truth. From the multicultural cast drawn from her own friends to the multitude of emotions, Cris has written a collection too rich, too powerful, and way too hot to read in one sitting. Ration your servings over a week or more for the most satisfying read of the year." -- Gille Myotis

"You can tell instantly that Cris was once a DJ. Each story flows into the next while still remaining unique. Subtle images a coffee mug, a color, a phrase are gently repeated, creating a single balanced melody." -- Harley DeSalvo

5.0 out of 5 stars Give this to your girlfriend..., November 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 1001 Nights: Exotica (Paperback)

Wow. These stories rock. It's great to find a collection oferotica that features women of all sizes, ages, and races for achange.

The stories have great sex in them, but they're also about real people. The sex is part of the story, but not the whole point.

A lot of the other erotica I've read doesn't offer much beyond the familiar, or if the writer tries something new, it's just stupid. But this isn't the case here at all.

Great book. I only wish it were twice as long! :)

2.0 out of 5 stars Almost exotica, December 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 1001 Nights: Exotica (Paperback)

This collection of short stories fails to live up to its title. The stories are more snapshots than narratives, and the sexual content is strangely stilted and repetitive. The afterword describing the process behind the work is good, but the work does not, ultimately, display any of the real emotional issues that prompted Newport to write in the first place.

This review is from: 1001 Nights: Exotica (Paperback)

I esepecialy like this book because it has vary life like characters, and like life it is not sex, sex, sex. I has a great personal view of lesbian love. Their pleasure, joy, and desire for one another. Most of the srories in this book are lesbian love sories...so if you are not into that this may not be the book for you. Aside from have great characters pratrayed in this book it also has some vary well written scenes of love and sex.
