5.0 out of 5 stars A Feast for Body, Mind and Heart, July 27, 2007

This review is from: Iridescence: Sensuous Shades of Lesbian Erotica (Paperback)

It starts with a feast for your eyes--a cover adorned with a curvy dark-skinned female torso against a background of midnight blue. With the opening story, "Night Music," the treats turn to the auditory when a young woman is seduced by a super-sexy violinist after a concert. Throughout the book you'll find luscious smells and tastes in abundance to satisfy your cravings for both hot sex scenes and lyrical prose. But what really satisfies about the offerings here--because it's relatively rare in erotica--is how much I cared about the characters in the stories. The down-to-earth car mechanic in "Grease," the proper Indian restaurant hostess with a wilder side in "Special Delivery," and the protagonist of "Monisha" who was cut off by her family after she came out, but finds a warmer way to pass the Christmas holiday all come to life as real people. And sex is always better with someone you know and love. Buy this book--you won't come away hungry!

5.0 out of 5 stars What I Have Been Looking For, October 21, 2008

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Iridescence: Sensuous Shades of Lesbian Erotica (Paperback)

This book is exactly what I have been looking for, as a black lesbian its hard to find books that can identify with you. This book was great because it identifies with everyone and it was sexy as hell.

Having a book like this also is great because now I have names for when I go to the book store and want more books like this one. To me its the perfect 10!
