Powerful, intoxicating erotica, January 27, 2003

Author Delilah Dawson provides us with powerful, intoxicating erotica in Ebony Butterfly II. Her latest collection of short stories, it is an offering of erotica at many different levels with stories that will definitely please readers of all backgrounds. The stories in Ebony Butterfly II are fresh and captivating. From beginning to end we are introduced to a variety of different characters in interesting but sexy scenarios. From several executives at a "Masquerade" to a young store clerk "Bent For Leather", each story carries a passionate, sensual twist that will keep readers alike turning the pages. Even a romantic tip or two can be picked up from these stories. Overall Ms. Dawson does an amazing job with Ebony Butterfly II, providing readers with stories that are both hot and unique. Both men and women will enjoy this collection, and it is one that is great to read with a lover nearby. Ms. Dawson definitely ranks among the levels with author Zane, and she is truly one to watch. I look forward to more works from Ms. Dawson.

Erotica with a Storyline, July 26, 2004
Can you imagine losing the diary that you've kept and written the past five year's worth of secrets in? Imagine the horror if you knew the person who found it? What if the person read it? Such is the case for Sharonda Williams. Misplacing her treasure keeper is distressing, but when she finds out her handsome neighbor has it, she's elated and then horrified to find he is a blast from her childhood, James Cooper. James is unashamed in stating he has read the steamy pages and offers his services in assisting Sharonda with fulfilling her fantasies. Understandably resistant to his advances, she nonetheless fantasizes about how it would be to fulfill her desires with him. Their one time date many years ago wasn't exactly terrible and he has matured in the sexiest way.
Through tantalizing phone calls, peeks through binoculars, and secret codes using wind chimes, the pages of her diary come alive in vivid detail. James is fit for the task of seduction, just the way Sharonda pictures it. The use of imaginative language, thoughtful dialogue and probably a cold shower along the way, transports the reader of this volume into a world many of us only dare to envision. This is a quick read, but the effects can be quite reaching, particularly if you read aloud to your partner.
As with other erotic novels, the imagination level of the reader has to be high to get the greatest effect. Ebony Butterfly, Indigo after Dark Vol. V does a decent job of combining a story line in between the billows of steam to hopefully capture the avid reader. I believe the author accomplished her mission of creating a sweltering erotic fantasy, but somewhere along the way the plot disappeared. This genre isn't my particular favorite, but I value the creative plot woven throughout and I am more willing to read these types of books when there is a tangible story line.

Erotica at its best, June 26, 2003
This book was steamier than your grandma's kitchen when cooking collards!!! Not only was it sexy, but it was also done in good taste. You feel like you KNOW the characters and you never want it to end. I'm a very hard critic, but I don't have one bad thing to say about this book. It is sure to tantalize and awaken feelings in you that you might have forgotten even existed. Put down the Viagara and pick up Indigo After Dark!! -LaKeshia Middleton
