I’m afraid I haven’t been to Paris and reviewed the joys of Sex in the city of lovers but I have read an exciting anthology that strives to give you an insight into the sexier side of the city.
Anthology reading has its own special delight, it’s like sitting down with a bag of pick and mix sweets. You don’t really know what you’re going to get next and you will discover favourite flavours as you go through the bag and look forward to getting those ones again.
Sex in the City Paris, Edited by Maxim Jakubowski is a real mixed bag. You’ve got allsorts in between its covers and I am sure you will find stories in there which float your boat. The linking theme is, of course, the city of Paris but each story picks different areas of the city and each piece gives you a different impression of what many people consider to be the most romantic place in the world.
Each story is hot and sensual but like with my bag of pick and mix I have picked out a couple that are my very favourites. The Red Brassiere by EllaRegina is not only clever but entertainingly vivid and sensual too. It is flirty and light and then serious and passionate but it is a wonderful flight of fancy that carries you along with French abandonment from beginning to end.
Gargloyles and sidewalk café’s has a particularly artistic Parisian flair to it. Peter Baltensperger creates a very convincing artist named Jacqueline and her lusty adventures are both sensual and exotic and it is a story which could not be set anywhere else, it really does shout Paris with every written word.
Toni Sands story,Some Virgins Learn Quickly in theory, could have happened anywhere but in choosing Paris she has given it a very particular zest that adds to the excitement of the story. It is so detailed and descriptive that you feel you are there in Paris with Helen as she is seduced not only by the older Emile but by the city itself. It may well be a story that could sit in any town or city the world over but it is in Paris that it flourishes and becomes all the more arousing for its setting.
Not all the stories were particularly to my liking in this anthology, I have to be honest but I did find it to generally be an entertaining and erotic read. It is an adventure, where you’re not certain what might come next or who you will meet around the next corner but it will leave you with a desire to see Paris, to experience it and to be seduced in the city of lovers.
And in other news, I got the cover for Stopping Point today. It’s brilliant but I’m being evil and won’t let you all see it…yet. Watch this space, folks. I am sure I won’t be able to keep it to myself for very long!
Toni Sands has written a lovely review of my eXcite Story, Restoration. It’s a beautifully written review and here is part of it for you.
Not even at home is Theresa safe from her fantasies and frustration. She weaves a steamy web around an awesome threesome, imagining both the stone god and the doctor pleasuring her. There’s great imagery here as the contrast between the cold, hard stone of the statue and the warm, soft flesh of the humans is explored. Theresa has the doctor telling her she’s a slut so we have the grimy statue, the dirty girl and the plummy-voiced doctor also getting down and dirty. Great stuff. But it’s not actually happening yet and boy, do I want it to.
If you want to read more just pop over to Toni’s website and check out the ‘reviews’ tab and you’ll find Restoration listed there.
So, do you fancy an excerpt from Restoration? Oh go on then, here’s one just for you:
I am exhausted. I’ve been working on Priapus till all hours. In my flat at night I lie in my bed, fantasising about the statue I’ve been working on all day. I imagine him in flesh, his cock red and throbbing and I rub myself raw attaining orgasm after orgasm but never feeling satisfied. My vibrators are too small, my fingers too familiar. I want his cock, I need Priapus to split me open and take his tribute from my wide spread verdant valleys.
“Well, he’s not such and ugly bastard after all, then.” Doctor Browning’s voice comes from the other side of the table, close to my ear and I jump, startled.
“I wish you’d announce yourself before walking in.” I hiss, my heart thumping.
“I did, but you were so engrossed with Priapus here, you didn’t hear me.”“Oh, right. Well, you have to concentrate when you’re doing such delicate tasks, Doctor.”
“I imagine so, I certainly do. He’s looking good so far, Theresa.”
“Thank you,” I smile, “He’s definitely a Roman impression of the god. The Greeks had him down as some kind of ugly midget with a big prick. This Priapus is much too pretty and tall to be Greek.”
“I’d agree, and where he was found backs that up. He is a handsome chap, isn’t he?” Doctor Browning runs a finger over Priapus’ hair, over his nose and traces gently over his lips. I lick my own as these actions seem blatantly sexual to me, though they can’t be. I mean Doctor Browning just isn’t like that, is he?
“Anyway,” he pulls his hand away like he’s been scolded, “Great work Theresa. I’ll be back next week to check on the progress.”
“Okay.” I nod and then lower my eyes to my task once more.
