The Spicy Bedtime Companion: Erotic Stories and More [Paperback]

Joan Elizabeth Lloyd (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2009

Thirty tantalizing stories written especially for couples, from the queen of the naughty bedtime story.

In Naughty Bedtime Stories and Bawdy Bedtime Stories, Lloyd spun stories sexy enough to keep readers up all night. Here are thirty more, all packed with heady eroticism?and guaranteed to turn up the heat?

In one tale, it?s a would-be author?s first jab at an erotic short story. Fortunately, the luscious heroine he creates shows up in the flesh, and just in time to help. In another, a flesh-and-blood man creates his perfect cyber-woman. And with her expert hands and mouth, she fits him like a glove. And in a third, paper-thin hotel walls are all a lonely businessman needs to fulfill his fantasies, when he has neighbors so vividly?and loudly?fulfilling theirs.

This review is from: The Spicy Bedtime Companion: Erotic Stories and More (Paperback)

Joan Elizabeth Lloyd's The Spicy Bedtime Companion: Erotic Stories And More is an unusual collection of erotic stories, bawdy limericks, and odd bits of sexual trivia. The stories are quite short, perfect for reading just before bedtime. And many of them are practically blueprints for how to experiment erotically with your partner.

There's an element of style to many of the stories that I think make them particularly perfect for this purpose, but that will also limit the book's audience in other ways. Some folks like their erotica unrealistic and fantasized--no mess, no fuss, no worry over the little details of reality. Most of Lloyd's stories include and address all these little details that make them seem so utterly down-to-earth and realistic. For a couple looking for inspiration that's probably perfect; for someone looking for sanitized erotica it's not going to appeal.

I was less fond of the limericks than of the stories; when they were good they were spot-on, but many of them just felt forced & flat to me. The trivia, on the other hand, was often fascinating. (Why no, I didn't know that a rattlesnake mating can last up to 22 hours!)

These stories are quite short, surprisingly non-fanciful, and oddly "realistic". I think they're perfect as evening inspiration for loving couples!
