Amorous Woman by Donna George Storey
Orion (May 28, 2008)); ISBN-10: 1905619170

The day I left Japan, I stared at my reflection in the mirror in the airport ladies' room and made the following vows: I would never tell another lie, especially to myself. I would never let desire overwhelm common sense. I would never sleep with a man who was married to someone else, mime fellatio with a complete stranger on a stage, or take money for sex again. In fact, to cover all bases, I would never have sex again with anyone, man or woman, for the rest of my life.

For a sum much smaller than a plane ticket an American woman can travel to a rustic hot-spring inn where anything goes after midnight, don the gorgeous kimono of a Japanese bride, romp in the dungeon rooms of tacky love hotels, act out an orgy straight from manga porn, and slip inside Kyoto’s most exclusive restaurants for exquisite dinners of seduction.

The Amorous Woman experiences almost every flavor of erotic pleasure Japan has to offer—and she’s happy to take you along for the ride. Inspired by Ihara Saikaku’s 17th-century satiric novel of the pleasure quarters, this story of an American woman’s love affair with Japan—and many sexy men and women along the way—gives readers a chance to journey to a Japan few tourists ever see.

Cassandra's Conflict by Fredrica Alleyn
Virgin Black Lace; 15th Anniversary Edition (April 29, 2008); ISBN-10: 0352341866

A young governess learns that children arent the only ones who need to be disciplined.

A house in Hampstead, present day. Behind a faade of cultured respectability lies a world of decadent indulgence and dark eroticism. Cassandras sheltered life is transformed when she becomes governess to the Barons children. He draws her into games where lust can feed on the erotic charge of submission games where only he knows the rules and where unusual pleasures can flourish.

"CASSANDRA'S CONFLICT is without a doubt the most erotically enticing story I have ever had the pleasure to read." — Amanda Haffery, Romance Junkie Review, March 2008

From the Author: I can't believe that 15 years have passed since I wrote 'Cassandra's Conflict'. It was very exciting for me to be invited to write one of the four launch titles, but also slightly nerve wracking. No one involved in the launch of Black Lace had any idea of how the books would be received, as the concept of 'erotic fiction, written for women by women' was an entirely new one. The erotic fiction market had always been written with men as the target reader, even though a considerable number of women did read them. ... Fifteen years on, with Black Lace still going strong, I feel very excited that I was there at the beginning and equally delighted that my first Black Lace novel is being reissued as part of their anniversary celebration.

Virgin Black Lace (April 1, 2008); ISBN-10: 0352341734

The handsome and decadent Marquis Pennerley, however, has desired Lucerne for years and when all three are brought together at the remote Lauwine Hall on the Yorkshire Moors, Pennerley intends to claim Lucerne.

This wonderfully decadent piece of historical erotica with a twist tells the tale of a love triangle wherein the players will stop at nothing to get the object of their desires.

Dirty by Megan Hart
Harlequin Spice (January 1, 2007); ISBN: 0373605137

This is what happened…I met him at the candy store: He turned and smiled at me and I was surprised enough to smile back. This was not a children's candy store, mind you—this was the kind of place you went to buy expensive imported chocolate truffles for your boss's wife because you felt guilty for having sex with him when you were both at a conference in Milwaukee.

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

I've been hit on plenty of times, mostly by men with little finesse who thought what was between their legs made up for what they lacked between their ears. Sometimes I went home with them anyway, just because it felt good to want and be wanted, even if it was mostly fake.

The problem with wanting is that it's like pouring water into a vase full of stones. It fills you up before you know it, leaving no room for anything else. I don't apologize for who I am or what I've done in—or out—of bed.

I have my job, my house and my life, and for a long time I haven't wanted anything else. Until Dan. Until now.
