Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Three friends, one location--San Francisco. This book contains three interlinked and very modern stories which have their roots in fairy tales. There's nothing innocent about Lydia, Molly, and Cassie, however, as one summer provides them with the cathartic sexual experiences which transform their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great erotica!, November 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Transformation (Black Lace Series) (Mass Market Paperback)

I think a reader might have missed the point of this book -- it is a wonderful, erotic retelling of 3 fairy tales in a contemporary setting which makes it a delicious mixture of classic and new. Plus the sex is both lush and arousing.

The story of the "frog prince" is my personal favorite, as Lydia and Nicholas's relationship is gorgeously written and highly sensual -- plus, i like the idea of a woman taking control of a man! And Nicholas is really adorably sexy.

Cassie's story is pretty good, but the story of Molly and her intro to kinky sex with the hot reporter is really hot. This is an exceptionally well-written, inventive erotic book and I would highly recommend it with a 5 star rating!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Transformation Captivates, February 10, 1999

Three women, three stories, three transformations. Well I would not quite term them transformations, they are more a discovery of self and exploration of possibilities (smile). This is a great follow up to Ms. Rostova's first novel, The Captivation. I impatiently await her next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner, June 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Transformation (Black Lace Series) (Mass Market Paperback)

The three novellas in this book are all contemporary versions of classic fairy tales, which makes for a great twist on traditional themes. The stories are all intertwined through the friendship of three women -- Lydia, Molly, and Cassie -- who are all experimenting with their sexuality. The best story is the first one, Lydia's Transformation, based on the tale of the Frog Prince and involving a sexually-confident woman and a cute but nerdy bookstore owner. I especially liked the friendship among all the women, and the pan-sexual nature of the stories -- the writing is excellent, the characters interesting, and (as usual for N. Rostova), the sex is hot, varied, and satisfying. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of CAPTIVATION!
