5.0 out of 5 stars If sex was food this would be Thanksgiving dinner ...., September 16, 2003

By	Rudolf Spoerer "dowadiddi" (Weston, FL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Odalisque (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)

In and amongst the descriptions of the wildest fantasy sex there is actually a story ...WOW... only problem is that the reader kind of has to take a step back and try to remember what the story is or was ....

Odalisque takes a family that is part French and part English and places them in London .. probably around the turn of the century. Add to that mix a decidedly perverted Russian uncle, Petrov, who has his own monastery in the center of town with young seually overstimulated acolytes and we have the makings of the sexual smorgasboard ... Yummie ...

Of course the plot of the book deals with the family and the natural friction, caused by people with no TV and too much time on their hands, among the cousins, husbands and wives, aunts and uncles etc ....The kicker is that all of these members use sex not only as a pleasing pastime but also as a weapon ....

I give the book 5 stars instead of three since the author manages to keep us interested without having to sumbit to the main characters beating the living daylights out of each other in order to get it going .....

For those readers that enjoy the erotica of pure sex this book will rate 5 stars .. for those that like plot ...character development .. erotic pursuit and capture .. well just think of this as a 3 star book .... This is the first book I have read by this author .....

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Erotica I've Ever Read, December 18, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Odalisque (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)

I don't normally read erotica. It's usually mercilessly crammed with as many four letter words and positions as possible. I have better things to do. Reynolds, however, remembers the psychological aspect of the carnal act. She teases, titillates, and surprises, stoking one's erogenous flames to blazing HOT temperatures. It's incredibly enjoyable to be able to pick up a book and have such sensations flood through you.
