Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Dark and naughty visions abound in Lip Service, a new collection of short erotic tales that's a little heavy on role-play and S/M, but rich in the unexpected. The heroine of M. Damian's "The Wedding Present" explains that it's been a month since her last lifelong relationship; she has no idea that her quick pickup in the ladies' room is the blind date she's been waiting to meet. In Renette Toliver's vampire story, "Chosen," a woman named Tanya learns not to inquire too closely into the ingredients of a nice, warm glass of wine. The best piece in the book, Anne Seale's "Rural Free Delivery," is not just erotic but slightly mad, the story of an obsession with a postal-delivery person who appears, each day, only as a shapely arm reaching from a car window into a rural mailbox. And finally, a reward for all who agree that erotica about a certain warrior princess is long overdue. After bringing her sidekick "Arielle" to yet another Olympian climax in Kate Dominic's "A Real-Life Superhero," the amazing Jeena makes it plain that "'Superheroes get to have super sex. Now, close up your top and listen to my plan for dealing with the burghers tomorrow.'" --Regina Marler
