Product Description

As a bestselling author and successful publisher of Strebor Books, Zane's name is synonymous with popular fiction -- especially erotica. Her website, Eroticanoir.com, gets over a million hits a year from around the world, and her fans look forward to every one of her publishing ventures with eager anticipation.

Chocolate Flava is the first in a series of collections of great erotic fiction edited by Zane, the reigning queen of erotica. Based on the Featured Erotica section of her website, Chocolate Flava gathers twenty-five sizzling tales from some of the most talented -- and dedicated -- writers of erotica working today.

This is a his-and-her collection. There are stories specifically written with female readers in mind, and others written expressly for men. Among the contributors are names already familiar to readers of erotica, such as Reginald Harris, Robert Edison Sandiford, Jonathan Luckett and, of course, Zane -- as well as emerging voices, such as Geneva Barnes and Robert Scott Adams. What they all have in common is that they are great at what they do, and have been handpicked by Zane -- an editor who knows a hot story when she sees it.

Zane wanted stories "that took risks, that explored unique situations, that were creative beyond compare." She wanted to show that men and women can equally express themselves through the medium of erotic fiction. She wanted stories that would turn her on. This collection of selected sexy short stories will turn you on, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars DISCLAIMER! DISCLAIMER!, September 6, 2004

By	Wildflower "Nisie" - See all my reviews

This book should come with a disclaimer for public transit riders: Beware - You WILL miss your stop if you open the cover of this book! I can't count how many times I've had to scramble off of the bus when it reached my destination! DISCLAIMER: Beware of reading this collection of short story erotica in ANY public place as you will not always be able to control your facial expressions! DISCLAIMER: Once you pick it up, you will later find your fingers' imprints embedded into the cover. On the surface, this book can pass for any regular romance novel, but after reading a few pages of content, I felt compelled to use a book cover anyway. I was not impressed by every contributing author and some of the material can be disturbing to some. DISCLAIMER: Chocolate Flava is NOT for casual reading. It is NOT for children. Personally, I would advise against its exposure to teens as well. Chocolate Flava is for the MATURE adult. Enough said.

3.0 out of 5 stars Be warned, read at your own risk!, March 10, 2004

By A Customer

Chocolate Flava, edited by Zane, is a collection of 25 erotic short storied from authors such as Victor DeVanardo, Eileen M. M. Johnson, Jonathan Luckett and of course Zane. This is a his-and-her collection of steamy stories that will provide both men and women a little erotic fantasy.

The stories in this book were of adult themes with sexual explicit episodes that could be disturbing to some readers. If homosexuality bothers you, Chocolate Flava is not the book for you. There are heterosexual encounters and depictions of male/male and female/female homosexual encounters as well. In addition to the same sex issues, the stories contained twosomes, threesomes and all out-group sex. In some cases there were so many people having sex that if proved difficult to keep up with whom is having sex with whom.

One of my favorites is "Selena the Sexual Healer" by Victor DeVanardo. The main charter is Selena, who has mastered the art of sex through her sexual research of cathouses of Havana, Japanese geishas and phone sex magicians. Selena was hired to prevent William G. Gaddys an anti-porn crusader from addressing the Congressional Committee on Regulation of Adult Entertainment. Selena, the high priestess of sex succeeds and has William raising money as a stripper for the Society for Sexual Liberation and Freedom and the Home for Retired Exotic Dancers.

While the homosexual encounters were not to my liking, the reviewer enjoyed the book for what it was: a collection of sizzling, hot, and steamy, sexually explicit encounters, with no real story lines. So if you are looking for stories where the characters seek their pleasure at ultimate limits, this is the book for you. So be warned and read at your own risk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chocolate Flava, January 7, 2004

By	The Doll - See all my reviews

Zane handpicked some very talented writers in this collection. This book is a great read. I could not put the book done. I can hardly wait until the remaining books in the series are released. You certainly will not be disappointed. This book will ultimately rank among the best of my personal collection.
