According to the publicity material on the back cover, 'Kissing Velvet' is a new collection of 17 stories of ..."sensual and seductive tales celebrating the delights of female submission."

'Kissing Velvet' is, however, far more than this. The stories take place in the real world in which people commute to work, hold down jobs, get depressed, and go out socializing with friends. It is erotic fiction rather than an author's sexual fantasies. Because of this, the stories are arousing even for the reader who is not moved by fantasies of female submission; the stories are adult fiction rather than adolescent fantasy.

Since the stories are fiction rather that fantasy, reading them can change and transform. The stories show us doors which we hadn't realized were there. Shall we open one? The rewards are great: As one of the characters says:

"We all have an alter ego. The watcher is part of me, but he isn't all of me. Erotic pleasure can transform us."

The risks of new explorations are also highlighted: There is a darker side to many of the stories, in which the reader is teased with the possibility that the sexual games and challenges will slip over into violence.

Whilst all of the 17 short stories are independent, they complement each other in such a way as to form a coherent whole. Like a laser beam of coherent light, the clarity of the writing illuminates the erotic scenes and leaves us with many memorable images.

In brief, these 17 stories are erotic stories for the thinking person; more please!

I was impressed by this book, which is interesting, funny in places to entertain, and very erotic as the seventeen stories each have very different slants. Kissing Velvet is not heavy BDSM which after the first chapter is usually very boring, it is about intelligent normal people who are looking to spice up their sex lives and those of others. Highly Recommended.

Disappointed 20 Oct 2003
Format:Paperback
Having read an online review of this book I was expecting something extraordinary to ooze from between the pages of Kissing Velvet, but I was disappointed. Whilst Ms Cage show obvious intelligence and command of the English language I felt her words, in this particular setting, to be forced and contrived. It was not difficult to imagine the author sitting at her keyboard thinking "Now what else might excite my readers" Which, though a valid concern to all writers doesn't, for me, work in erotic fiction. I look for the genuinely extraordinary - the outpouring of an erotic soul and heart. The stories, whilst being readable, painted scenes plentiful in the imaginations of the average 14 year old. For me there was nothing new and in common with so many writers of erotica she simply tries too hard to turn the reader on and spoon feeds them their feelings.

Elizabeth Cage can write, but in being erotic she just seems to miss the point
