An accomplished new book by an erotic novelist at the height of her powers.

Lily Lick's Love Signs for August 2010 - astrology

"Venus enters Libra on August 6th where she enjoys a position of dominance"

In Praise of Rimming - by Danton Grey

"Sooner or later there comes a time in any newly-minted relationship when you want to make The Move."

Babeland Toy Review: The mind-blowing, clit-massaging Form 2 Vibe - by Evye Stanten

"This is the smallest, most powerful vibrator I have ever experienced -- the two prongs/ears feel almost like firm vibrating fingers that you can be endlessly creative with."

EXOTICA

Reading Time - Harold Mancock

"His smell still consumes our area and it makes me think that he has trapped me in a bubble of his scent, as though he were some mythical beast luring me in with smell like the Sirens did with their enchanting sound."

Her Room - Jennifer Aarons

"Her ex-husband painted the room a dark eggplant color before he left for good. Holly moved the bed to the corner of the bedroom as soon she heard the front door click behind him."

Greedy Grape - Susanne Mathies

"The sweetest aroma arises next to my stem joint, where the biggest of my sisters has turned deep ruby. Her plump bottom nudges my stem."

Synthetic Sensuality - Tony Haynes

"Ever since the monumental downturn of the male birth rate in the mid twenty first century, only the very wealthy could afford genuine, authentic men."

FICTION

Rocking - Thomas Whispers

"Benjamin felt it was better to try and take a more anthropological view, to pretend he was a corporate Jane Goodall, observing the seductive mating techniques of cubicle baboons and chimps. He'd seen a documentary on a bunch of silverbacks who were all gay until Dian Fossey introduced some females into the mix."

John Updike Made Me Do It - Donna George Storey

"Sitting in the effervescent spa water with five other horny married people, the Sierras soaring around us into the star-flecked sky, it was just like stepping into the pages of a steamy novel."

Body of Christ - Frank DiPalermo

"A big invisible hand slid between me and the diving board, pulled me into the sky, sort of like a kid scooping a pollywog out of a stream. Not my body. Just some invisible me-ness rushing upward. Was I dying? I honestly didn’t care."

Revival - Martha McKinley

"They were dancing close. To a rumba. Moving in quick-quick-slows to Besame Mucho. She could feel the heat of his body radiating through all their layers of cotton and nylon."

POETRY

Starving Breaths - S. (Johnny) Thonn

"Naked, like the verses of / Neruda congregating / in thoughts and memories"

And He Pulls Off His Shirt - Patricia J. Esposito

"Why does desire stick in the throat / make our lower lip swell and pulse / so that we think we need to kiss"

The Mystery of You - Sharmagne Leland-St. John

"With the world still asleep / I tried to decipher / The mystery of you"

Poems - Sharmagne Leland-St. John

"The way my lover's tongue / Wraps itself around / The syllables of my name"
