It is the place of our hidden desires, a place where lovers erotic passions are safeguarded and shared in the deepest moments of intimacy, away from prying eyes, and ears.Erotic passions are food for the erotic soul and best served dripping hot to your lover. Some dishes may be too spicy while others a bit bland, but here you will find a smorgasbord to satisfy any appetite. The Wedding is subtle, veiled, and mysterious like many Victorian stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Order now!, 7 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Closet Desire: An Anthology of Hidden Erotica (Paperback)
A scintillating collection of stories brought to us by the Van Scoyoc double act, who are beginning to gather quite a following. There's a definite lean towards the more classical conceits of erotica. The stories have been well chosen so as to be bite size chunks of pure sensual bliss. This is certainly one for the bedroom but, at the same time, its literary value affords it a visible place on anybody's bookshelf. I would assert that this collection is recommended reading for anybody with a pulse and would mark it as being compulsory for anybody who hasn't.

The question is when are they going to follow this up? There is never a shortage of erotica out there, but there is always a shortage of writers capable of delivering the right blend of humour, irony, plot twists and downright wickedness, with prose high on style and short on clichés. This anthology delivers all that. You'd better hang onto the arms of your chair when reading some of the more explicit tales. Oh, and turn down the heating. You are liable to spontaneously combust...

5.0 out of 5 stars Forum magazine (UK) is spot on..., 27 April 2001
By Natasha Simpson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Closet Desire: An Anthology of Hidden Erotica (Paperback)
I bought one of the first copies of this book and it was definitely one of the most unusual books of erotica I've ever seen. I couldn't stop reading it. This month I found that it had been reviewed by Forum and they actually agreed with me! A book "you can pass around to your friends without a flush of embarrassment" and a book "you can't put down!" I can't wait to see more from this pair!
