Mysteriously Sensuous!

Sanctuary was one of the most unique Sci Fi shows ever made.  The setting of mysterious places, combined with cryptozoology, folklore, science, and history made this sensuously intriguing!

This book is written in such a way that you are completely seduced as the reader. Somehow Harrison just draws you in down her rabbit hole & before you know it you've read the whole book! I lost my sense of time & space as I was reading, floating in the hypnotic world Harrison created.

Liv Morris's Touch of Tantra Series is provocative, fascinating, exciting, sexy, and sophisticated!!  The writing is at least a level above many others, which I'm very particular about.  The Tantra angle is incredibly unique in a market over-flooded with BDSM.  I LOVE that!!  I love new and original!

Make sure you give Adam a real chance.  He's unlikable and, frankly, a jackhole in the beginning...BUT!  There's a reason, and a good one!  So, stick with him and let him tell you his story, because he will absolutely change your mind...and your heart.

Kathryn is a very wealthy, very "American Royalty" type of character.  I'm not always attracted to characters like that, but....yes, there's a BUT! again ;)  Kathryn is actually, mostly, a wonderfully generous, open-minded, beautiful soul who stands her ground FIRMLY and demands the respect she deserves as an independent, intelligent female who is exceptionally comfortable in her own sexuality.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that about her!!

Together?  Adam and Kathryn are a couple you will ultimately follow with your heart in your throat, a smile on your face, and, ahem, happy girl parts!  LOL!!

Do not even hesitate!  Pick up the box set!  Adam and Kathryn are sexily boxed for your easy-reading pleasure *wink*

I am delighted to say that Ghostly Writer has completely outdone himself with A Lie Within A Lie: The Singer. Even knowing the general concept, and being fully aware of his fetish for female masking, this was a novel that still kept me guessing for the first few chapters, and which managed to sustain a few genuine surprises later on.

Ethan is a young man, on the cusp of adulthood at the end of his European vacation, when he becomes infatuated with a mysterious singer named Marla. I almost hate to say anything about her, because the series of slow reveals regarding her character are so well done, but the cover blurb does tell all - Marla is just one of the many personas adopted by Dominic, a master of disguise who is blessed with keen observational skills, a natural talent for mimicry, and marvelous expertise in crafting perfectly life-like latex masks and bodysuits.

Surprisingly complex, this is a novel that is all about the art of disguise and the science of seduction. It is truly bewildering just how many people Dominic can become (sometimes looking, sounding, and acting like multiple people at the same time), and just as astounding in how aroused Ethan is by both the disguises as the act of disguise itself. It is a story that crosses multiple lines of gender and sexuality, revealing a lot about what it is that connects two people together. It is definitely unusual, and flirts with some taboo moments, but it is ultimately a powerfully arousing tale of love, lust, and longing.

There is a passion for detail here that you do not often come across in even the most polished, professionally published erotic literature. Ghostly Writer makes the reader see and feel each aspect of the disguise, painting a series of vivid pictures that amaze as they arouse. Readers with a fetish for masking, dollification, female impersonation, or simple crossdressing will find a lot to admire and appreciate here. The sex is equally succulent, vibrant and intense, but never vulgar. Given how many genders are sometimes mixed in a single intimate encounter, it really is a story that crosses orientations as well as genders.

Most importantly, however, the relationship between Ethan and Dominic/Marla is well-crafted, giving us two human beings in whom we become emotionally invested, desperately hoping that their wild scheme to be together will work out. Ethan is more than just a college kid enjoying a European fling, and Dominic is far more than just someone who enjoys putting on a lie. There is no insta-love (or even insta-lust) here, but instead a slow progression of their relationship, marked as much by trials of trust as leaps of faith.

Of course, with A Lie Within A Lie: The Singer being the first half a two-part story, we will have to wait to see what happens back home, but this is a completely satisfying tale on its own.

Deliciously Dominant!
Mr. M is an introduction into a side of sexuality that fascinates us all to a certain extent.  There is a dangerous, delicious sensuality in the world of dominance and submission, and Stella deftly takes us there gently, yet forcefully as Mr. M takes Estelle on that journey within the story, unpacking the burgeoning relationship, whilst hearkening back to an earlier dalliance that flirted on the edges of dominance and submission.

And just as a dominant cares for his submissive when all is said and done offering comfort and security, so does Stella gracefully extract us all from the story, yet just like Estelle, we are left wanting more.

The writing is absolutely solid and developed, with a detail to character development, grammar, fashion, relationship nuance, and of course, the tantalizing world of dominance and submission, which, for the uninitiated, is all about trust, respect, and ultimately, Love.

I wait with anticipation for the next episodes in the series, hoping for further revelation and insight into the characters of Estelle, Mr. M., and hopefully some prequel treatment of the earlier relationship with Jeff.  I can't help but wonder, whilst admittedly squirming a bit with scrumtrulescent arousal, on what adventures Stella will take us!

Mannequin opens with a description of a lady so vivid that she literally appears before your very eyes. You see her standing there in 6 inch heels below patterned fishnet stockings under a short, navy skirt covering strong, athletic legs. Her sturdy shoulders are wrapped in an ivory silk blouse that is opened slightly to expose her cream-coloured skin. You read on for more, erotically enticed, and hear about her dark rose lipstick, glossy nail polish and smoky eyes that are completed with extended lashes.

If this description hasn't already drawn you in by now, the fact that she is being watched all this time, will. An obsession is introduced as we learn of a character who plans his morning to the tee, to see her, fantasize about her, but then know he cannot have her. Why? Read the book to find out.....

 Meet Viola, a shy, timid Country girl who moved to the city three months ago. Shes a busy lady on her way to work via a caf where she picks up a coffee and a croissant but bumps into a man on the street and stains his expensive shirt with coffee. Not having enough money to cover the cost, a lunch date is suggested in exchange for payment by a tall, handsome well-dressed man. Viola accepts, hurries off to work then meets this mystery man later for the briefest of encounters.  After a quick lunch that leads to dinner, she finds herself in a romantic corner of a restaurant being hand-fed olives and humus.

The build-up of the two characters is so engaging that you are literally right there in the restaurant with them; whether you're her, feeling uneasy yet excited, or him, confident and controlling. The lunch that turned swiftly into dinner then evolves erotically into an invitation of a weekend away. Viola considers that this whole charade was perhaps planned, yet still accepts.

Without giving too much away, this erotic tale turns into a mnage a trois of masters, mistresses, hair cutting, shaving, tying up and so much more. Its wonderfully descriptive, erotic, face-paced and leaves you with a desire for more. The dialogue is riveting, the characters feel real, the story captivates you and the writing is some of the best I've ever seen in this genre.

The next time I pass a Mannequin on the high road looking down on me will never be the same again.

Ingeniously written, one feels a part of The Quality. Magnificently described outfits which makes any one who is fashion conscious jealous. Great plot!

This book was sensual and mysterious with a surprise ending that I just loved.  The era the book and the house were set in were a perfect foil for the "goings on" which one would not believe could be going on in that day and age.  Tsk.  Tsk.

There is something about these poems that makes me instantly shut out everything that is going on around me when I start to read.  There is this hint of something urgent, something secretly important, being whispered to me that nothing else around me even seems there anymore.  In short, I loved reading these poems.  I guess it kind of feels like walking into a church when I read them, though not always a good church if that makes any sense.  Perhaps even a hint of danger sometimes.  Regardless, these are wonderful poems with vivid images and interesting language that silently penetrate your mental walls and reach right to your core.  Entrancing, in the truest sense of the word.

Mystical, chic renderings of exotic music that should only be played in the most soign salons.  Seth Ford-Young actualizes rarefied atmospheres of musical theatricality that lingers like occult fog aswirl in darkly draped drawing rooms.  His Satie piece is an ensorcellment.  And let me say, this is the perfect music to complement the reading of Gary Jonathan Janis' haunting novel "Paris Green."  What a delicious combination!

Surprisingly lush, pulling sensuality from the moonlit lapping of waves and discarded tropical tailfeathers, *Whet* exhibits a delightfully unique brand of literary smut that enjoys but does not entirely depend on the simple act of intercourse. Highly recommended for the poetically inclined, and the breathing.

Mind-altering sounds arose from my CD-player when I listened to this talented and, in its very own way, subtle piece of art.  Dream Theatre has taken instrumental and progressive rock to new, utmost heights (or depths - how could I know for sure?) of mesmerising and disturbing virtuosity.
The leading song is, no doubt, 'Strange dj vu'.  However, it does not come alone, for the whole disc is a great continuum of themes which do not tend to conclude until the story itself does.
Because this album tells a story.  And my advice is to learn about it in a quiet, gloomy room, having plenty of time and preparing to feel a rare set of sensations as this awesome opus comes to an end.

This film certainly lives up to it's title. It is both erotic and odd. There  seems to be something for everyone.

It certainly didn't take long before I absolutely lost myself in the hypnotizing splendor that is this album. Simply from first-listen, one's musical taste buds are thriving with stimulation in a constant state of salivation for more of this man's amazingly soulful voice and sensual, captivatingly laid-back tones. The beautiful subtlety at which he sings and effortlessly maneuvers through each track will enrapture you within each fleeting moment and leave you longing for more. At the very least, this is an excellent album to weave in and out of consciousness while you attempt to sleep during the late hours of the night. . . All the while in a constant state of indulgence. And if his soothing voice does, indeed, ultimately send you into the deep throws of a satisfying slumber, you will without a doubt - every time - awake within the opening piano keys and breathy falsetto of "Angels" - the absolute silver lining in a cloud of, well, more silver.

Im a believer in human consistency so what would you expect from a sexy female cenobite but a darkly humorous, erotically charged horror fest?  Well, Im being too smartass here because theres more than I predicted in this love story from actress/authoress Barbie Wilde (who also oozed brutal sensuality in Death Wish II).  This is also an intelligent and literate love story. Wilde writes a spartan prose largely stripped of epithet and adverb.  There are echoes of Hemingway crossed with Chandler in the terse descriptive style. Its a constant balance between the exploration of one mans booming, buzzing consciousness and visceral action. The smitten art history professor is a psychopath (as well as something of a philosopher) who becomes infatuated with Dr Elene Sheppard, a forensic psychologist on the same faculty. He comes up with what he believes is a masterplan to have sex with her, or, as he puts it, to f*** her brains out on the floor.
He will kill a select group of young women but there are two threads of artistry flowing through my work. The first will be the unusual positions of the body. I have chosen to pose each of my ladies to mirror one of five portraits of Venus, the Goddess of Love.  In the subsequent search for the serial killer who will the police call in? Why Elene and himself. Bingo!  Abelard and Heloise will be together.
These murders, he reasons, are essentially transformations so he decides his M.O. should follow the guidelines of 13th century alchemist, Albertus Magnus.  He decorates the abdomen of one victim with a text from Goethes Faust. Never did she look lovelier than in death, because what is life but an eager rushing towards the terrible inevitability of oblivion.
Fridays sexual fantasies and the murders are described in visceral detail and are not for the squeamish. To say hes a misogynist would be akin to describing Bin Laden as someone who wasn't fond of Americans. Women are teasing pussy waiting to be subdued. Kissing is described as swapping spit. Friday strangles his victims as they climax; strangling is so sensualthe way they struggletheir eyes widen and bulge. I see their souls go away..Can you get sexier than that, I ask you?
Well, does our protagonist get to subdue the girl of his sick dreams? Does his campaign of violent murder succeed or is he derailed and caught?  Ive probably told you too much already.  If you want to really know what is the Venus Complex and look into the darkness of a psychopaths soul, buy the book.

I am so enamored with the audiobook narration of Emily Gray who has really brought to life all the characters. Unfortunately, the various voices and accents are now endlessly swirling in my brain. To exorcise this affliction or at least alleviate it, I shall subject you to a review in the unique stylings of Lord Akeldama, eccentric rove vampire, Potentate and London fashion pioneer.

My eager dumplings, listen closely. Now that the dust has settled on the tiny kerfuffle over the pregnancy of the delightful buttercup Lady Alexia Maccon, preternatural and wife to alpha wolf, Connal Maccon, she is acclimatizing quite nicely to the humble abode of Lord Akeldama which adjoins the recently acquired Woolsey pack London estate. The clandestine living arrangements are the only way to call a halt to the exhausting attempts at the dear Lady's life. After all, one can only keep a watchful eye for murderous ladybugs, indecorous assassins and distasteful poisons for so long. The poor profiterole is, however, beset by new challenges presented primarily by her ever increasing...girth. She is, after all, eight months pregnant. Only her mobility is inconveniently restricted, mind you. Her fiery and feisty spirit remains thankfully unchanged, even heightened somewhat by her stubborn resistance to such inconvenience.

In a transgression of proper etiquette, the delectable baklava is accosted by a ghost and warned about an imminent threat to the Queen. Being the Mujah member of the Queen's Shadow Council, Alexia springs or rather slowly but decisively waddles-- into action. Her investigation unpleasantly necessitates prying further into her husband's past, particularly his old pack and the reason for his departure therefrom.

I hope you are not expecting me to bring you to my full confidence. Like a vampire, I am naturally averse to revealing secrets and I would be especially crestfallen should I inadvertently spoil the amusement of discovery for you. But I shall leave you with delectable nuggets for I derive much pleasure from the art of teasing. Suffice it to say that you shall learn rather interesting information regarding our sweet croquembouche's father, Alessandro Tarabotti; there is more to the unassuming Professor Lyall who we should all keep a much closer eye on henceforth; Ivy Tunstall indeed proves that she might be silly but not without depth; Madame Lefoux might have made her most dangerous contrivance yet. As exciting as all that may seem, more still awaits you in this scrumptious tale. Parenthetically, I do hope you haven't forgotten that nobody is quite certain of the nature of the expectant eclair's infant inconvenience-- will it be preternatural, supernatural, human or something else altogether?

I shall bid you farewell in the meanwhile. There are clothing ensembles requiring assembly. Chicanery cannot be properly undertaken in abysmal attire. So long for now, my enraptured mille-feuille.
