5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Work Of Art, October 28, 2000

By	"shugs_girl" (Earth) - See all my reviews

Amazingly the last time I read this book was a year ago, and many of the stories are still fresh and enticing in my mind. Not only are the characters smart, well-written and realistic, but the stories and women in them are (beautiful)... Stories like "Lessons" and "The Club" are a juicy break from more tradition history of supersoft, super-cheesy erotica but do not surrender the diginity of the characters or the readers. Other stories, although more tradition, do not repeat other writers and hold their own spice and flava!

5.0 out of 5 stars Real lesbians, real situations, real passion, May 10, 2000

By	[e-mail] (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This book was like a breath of fresh passion- filled air. Not since "Black Erotica" have I found a book filled with so many stories about what lesbian passion is really like. I usually read on the train to work or at my desk and the level of quiet excitement that many of these stories aroused in me caused me to opt for more private reading environments. It has also inspired me to write some of my fantasies down and read them to my sweetheart in bed at night. I look forward to more books like this from Ms. Morris in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED IT TO PIECES!, July 6, 2000

By A Customer

How exciting! Reading my first novel, with a lesbian focus, and loving every minute of it. I read it in one sitting, not able to put it down. It was like someone had been spying on my Love and me for the past 11 years, in our bedroom no less.Each story offered a different "flava". Humor,lust, decadence, loving, longing, voyeurism-it goes on and on. I love the beginning story, not really knowing at first if the character was fantasizing or not. The last story was a pleasant change- who knows what alien love-making is like? Kathleen, write more-full novel next time please!
