Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Books on how to improve a couple's sex life often recommend purchasing some toys; The Erotic Way takes this one step further--a plumed feather, velvet blindfold, silken cord, scented candle, and bottle of massage oil are already included. Because no further shopping is required, there are no barriers to diving right in to the book, which contains 10 stories of seduction for use in role-playing, each using some combination of the included playthings. From headmaster and schoolgirl to strangers on a train, these simple fantasies can bring some spice into a pedestrian sex life. This isn't an advanced sex manual, and no elaborate preparation is required to enact the suggested fantasies, but The Erotic Way is all that's needed to remind lovers about an essential part of foreplay--the part that's "play." --Cheryl Trooskin

This book is poorly written and not what I expected. It's mostly domination/submission stuff. I only finished one of the stories, because it was actually funny it was so bad. Next time I'm going to look at a bookstore so I have a better idea what I'm getting. Also the massage oil wouldn't be enough for a shoulder rub! Since I feel compelled to say something nice, it is a good feather.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality Writing & a Great 1st Timer Intro to Erotica, February 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Erotic Way: Everything You Need From Stories To Playthings For An Amorous Unforgettable E (Hardcover)

As a soon to be published erotica writer and a woman, I was pleased to see Ms. Riverside's collection and quickly read several stories with great enthusiasm. She uses realism tempered with common fantasy while writing in second person--an interesting twist. Detailed but not gratuitous, her stories initiate the desired physical and emotional responses. Pleasing too was the near absence of slang and profanity. If you've never read erotica, this book is a great one to start with! If you're already a fan, you'll find this collection seductively refreshing! Laura Dawn Lewis Author of the Sensuality Series
