Made for Sex

MADE FOR SEX is my first foray into erotic fiction and while I'm not sure that it's necessarily for me personally, it's definitely an intriguing genre where Joan Elizabeth Lloyd writes two stories of old friends searching the "big" city to fulfill their fantasies.

In Black Satin, Carla is an ordinary woman, living an ordinary life. The mother of three, she has the same daily struggles and problems as any other woman; so when she literally runs into someone else's Cadillac she can't help but think, "Why me?" Much to her surprise that someone else just happens to be Veronica "Ronnie" Browning, an old friend from college. Carla is surprised and grateful when Ronnie is willing to overlook the accident. Thus begins their re- acquaintance. It isn't until Carla discovers what Ronnie does for a living that her life is turned entirely upside down.

You see, Ronnie is a very high-priced prostitute. Carla is initially shocked and embarrassed for her friend, but the more she learns about what Ronnie does, the more curious she becomes. So when Ronnie suggests that she try it out, Carla is hesitant but decides to step out of her comfort zone. Thus begins Carla's foray into the world of prostitution, where she fulfills the fantasies of "friends" and learns about her own sexuality all at the same time.

And in The Love Flower, Fran is just another woman; someone who could live next door, or you might run into at the grocery store. Fran also happens to be an author of erotic fiction. Her book of short erotic stories 'The Love Flower' is nominated for one of the biggest awards out there in the romance genre. The problem is that Fran writes under a pseudonym, Nichole St. Michelle, and while Fran is just another woman, Nichole is a woman of the world, who travels to exotic places and meets even more exotic men. Now Fran has to travel to New York and expose the truth about herself in order to win. That is, unless she can turn herself into Nichole before awards night.

With the help of her publisher, Fran is introduced to Carla, who has been living a double life as well. Carla is not only a single mother of three, but also a very high- priced prostitute. Carla introduces Fran into what her life would be like as Nichole. Carla gets a complete makeover; makeup, hair, and wardrobe. The real change, however, is turning Fran into the experienced woman of the world that Nichole is through Carla's "friend."

These stories are much more involved than I thought they would be, particularly The Love Flower. All in all, this was a very well written book. Some of the more intimate scenes had some scenarios that I don't particularly care for and I personally find offensive. My opinion won't be everyone's so I would have to say that if erotic fiction is a genre you enjoy, you may want to try MADE FOR SEX on for size and see for yourself.

SUMMARY

New York...the city that never sleeps, where sex is available anytime, anyplace. It's a city of hot desires and wild fantasies, exquisite pleasure and erotic seduction. And two women have come looking for it all...

Sex For Sale

A single mom of three, Carla is stuck in a suburban rut. Then she bumps into an old college friend who makes her an incredible proposition: become her partner as a very selective, high-priced prostitute. Shocked at first, Carla soon feels a thrill of excitement when she gets a glimpse of her new life. There are men who control and who like to be controlled, men who become aroused listening to the whisper of silk panties over the phone, and men who want to play with a woman's naked body until she's a quivering mess of ecstasy. And she has the power to live out her most intimate fantasies and deepest desires...

Sex To Savor

For years Fran has been writing erotica under the pseudonym Nichole St. Michelle. Now that she's been nominated for the prestigious Madison Prize, Fran has a chance to go to New York and take a walk on the wild side--as Nicki. By day, Fran is dazzled by the city's lights and the beautiful, seductive men and women strutting by. By night, she becomes Nicki, a wanton creature, tasting, touching and exploring sex in every way imaginable. It's pure, unfettered ecstasy, and all Nicki wants is more...
