Beschreibung des Verlags
Now a pivotal figure in the field of literary erotica, Lonnie Barbach was first known for her pioneering books about sex and relationships. Seductions is a sumptuous anthology in which she explores the ways that erotic art can kindle romance, ignite desire, and bring two people together in the most pleasurable and satisfying ways imaginable. The twenty stories showcased here cover the full spectrum of sexual experience and identity as they reveal seduction in all its varied and exotic forms. Seductions is written for a wide-ranging audience--young and old, male and female, heterosexual and gay, married and single. It will take readers beyond the limits of their erotic imagination to a realm that is both tantalizing and provocative.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Barbach, best known for the blockbuster For Yourself, offers up a third anthology (The Erotic Edge: Erotica for Couples) of 20 tales of sex and fantasy. Her scope is wide--a variety of ages, races and orientations appear--and the results decidedly mixed. Barbach's self-help-style introductions to the stories and the collection's first two offerings are skippable. More engaging is Doraine Poretz's "Only in the Movies." Set in the Deep South of the 1960s, the story addresses prejudice and social taboo as it charts eight years of an interfaith relationship. Another standout, Dave Clarke's fairy tale "Nothing to Wear," tells of a woman who is whisked away from Bloomingdale's by a sultan's son and finds herself in an exotic land, where her outfit proves that less is more. The temperature rises with Kate Fox's nicely plotted, erotic "Knowing," an unusual coming-out story with several surprises.
