5.0 out of 5 stars
Down and Dirty, June 16, 2007
This review is from: Thong on Fire: An Urban Erotic Tale (Paperback)
Thong on Fire by Noire
Genre: Urban Erotica
APOOO rating: 5
Amazon.com rating: 5
Thong on Fire by Noire has all the classic components to classify
itself as an urban erotic tale. What sets this novel apart from the
rest of the tales told in Harlem, New York is the twist. A twist
that sheds the many layers of Saucy Robinson to reveal what makes
this woman tick. Through the hurt and pain, trials and
tribulations, the sex and eroticism, Saucy tries her best to land on
top - literally. This is the tale of a woman that suffers at the
hands of many individuals but refuses to be the victim. Saucy will
do whatever it takes and by any means necessary to make sure she is
the woman in the spotlight, in the music video, on the arm of the
hottest artist (male or female), or walking through the velvet ropes
to the VIP section of the club.
The reader is introduced to the many individuals that help shape and
mold Saucy Robinson's character. From the very beginning, Noire
illustrates to the reader the suffering Saucy endures from the death
of her father and the abuse she suffers at the hands of her drug
addicted mother. It is obvious that the scandalous woman Saucy
becomes is because of the rage and anger that brews within. Saucy
has no choice, in her opinion, but to build a wall and to look at
herself, first and foremost. Saucy has been blessed with the exotic
features from a Korean mom and the body of a goddess that has been
passed on by the genes of her African American father. Saucy
definitely uses what she has to get what she wants.
So who should read this book? Anyone looking for a departure from
the traditional erotica story. Do not get me wrong. This is a
novel penned by Noire so the sex scenes will steam up the mirrors.
The reader and Noire fans alike will not be disappointed when it
comes to the scenes in which Saucy really work her magic and earns
her bedroom nickname. The true story is what lies beneath the sex
Saucy so willingly gives up to any man or woman. This is not just
the tale about a video vixen smiling pretty while shaking all her
assets with barely anything there, but about a woman whose judgment
is clouded by the spotlight she is constantly seeking on stage or on
television, the bling she will do anything to obtain and most
importantly, by the life she has had to live and endure. Noire
delivers a captivating page-turner that will be hard to put down.
Thong on Fire is not just a book but a literary journey that goes
beyond the sheets.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Too Hot to Trot!, April 11, 2007
This review is from: Thong on Fire: An Urban Erotic Tale (Paperback)
Noire captivates you with this tale beginning with the abuse of a little girl named Saucy. Saucy used her abuse to become wickedly smart and manipulative. Throughout her story she walks over so many people, always trying to find someone to use as a stepping stone.
I think it could have stood a little more depth, but was interesting enough to keep your attention to see if Saucy was able to rise above her past or fall to a much deserved demise. Because she really didn't know any better!
I envisioned Freedom as Common, just using my imagination! I did enjoy her tale of the music industry, videos, and the antics that occurs in the business. Noire also incorporates child abuse, promiscuity, entertainment buzz, jealousy, back-biting, and even murder in this novel.
The story sounds familiar but she puts her style of twists and turns on it to make it a definite original!!! Kudo's!
