Book Description

January 25, 2011

No Names. No Guilt. No Boundaries.

Renee Matthews is starting over. Free of a demanding ex-husband who left her feeling worthless, she's ready for a purely physical connection, on her terms. Sex in the dark with a total stranger--a night of breathless passion without complications. An online ad leads to the first of many anonymous trysts. And when one partner takes her into a darker realm of pleasure, Renee discovers hungers she never knew she possessed.

Renee knows these encounters are risky. Nothing has ever compared to such exhilarating desire--certainly not her ex, or the "perfect" potential boyfriend her parents keep pushing her way. But as the excitement escalates, so does the danger. And walking away from her midnight lover may be more difficult than Renee ever expected. . .

"The sensuality of the narrative style, the intensity of the characters' emotions, and the complexity of the plot are all satisfying." --Eroticarevealed.com on Every Dark Desire

5.0 out of 5 stars She Does It Again! January 29, 2011
By Eilatan
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love the friendship between Renee & Mayson, these are two people who really know one another. I admit I wasn't too sure on how this would end, but I was very happy with it. Renee's personal journey led her to the only place that made sense. A great read from Ms. Zedde, I'm never disappointed with her novels.

Format:Paperback
Renee and Mayson have been best friends since grade school, they do everything together, talk to each other all the time and are always looking out for each other. Renee's ex-husband was verbally abusive and believed that Renee's relationship with Mayson was the demise of their relationship. Renee is straight and Mayson is gay and they both look out for each other and haven't found the right person to spend their life with. Renee decides that what she needs is uncomplicated sex on her terms and decides to walk a line of danger by placing an ad on the internet. Mayson fearful for her friend makes a dramatic choice to interfere with Renee's choice to make sure she stays safe. I'm not going to say more for fear of spoilers but I'm sure if you read it you can figure it out very quickly.

This book has very vivid descriptions of sensuality, sex and friendship and the fine line that divides it all. I loved that the main characters were both women of color and the descriptions of their bodies wasn't your cookie cutter skinny, no curves. There was a lot of straight sex in this book which made me wonder what I was reading a time or two and I think some of that could have been left to our imagination or not. I loved the two main characters and was left a little disappointed in the end when their union was so abruptly cut short by the end of the book. Since I haven't read any of her other books I have nothing to compare this one to but it seems her other books are much more focused on the lesbian relationship while this book seemed to focus more on the friendship and Renee's heterosexual trysts. I will have to point out that it would have been nice if the cover girl fit the genre of the book - since this is black lesbian fiction why is the girl on the cover so damn light?

4.0 out of 5 stars The Pleasure Makes the Danger Worthwhile October 12, 2011
Format:Paperback
When I first delved into this delicious read by writer Fiona Zedde, I was pleasantly surprised by her vibrant and descriptive language. She gave great, in-depth insight into the two main characters, Mayson and Renee, best friends from childhood both seeking pleasure in their own varying ways.

Fiona was able to maintain searing heat through passage after passage. Free from redundancy and predictability, I received what I didn't even know I was looking for - sheer, carefree satisfaction.

Renee, fresh out of a painful divorce, is convinced that detached, anonymous sex is just what the doctor while Mayson on the other hand feels that detached, but not necessarily anonymous sex is what will save her from any potential pain.

Both women walk the very fine line between pleasure and pain, and it is the pain that brings the ultimate pleasure, the breath-taking, eye-popping, twist of a climax to this fine novel.

I gave four stars only because I wanted/needed more of a "hint" of what would ultimately come at the end. It seemed too hurried to be believably authentic, but I was extremely impressed with the quality of the author's writing and the attention to detail. The story was tight and together. The scences were vivid and life-like, the situations believable.

I would absolutely recommend this fast-paced page-turner.
