From the Author
Seductions is Sexy Fun
The purpose of this book, I think, is escapism and a littletime out for fantasy.
The purpose of this book, I think, is escapism and a littletime out for fantasy.
For me, writing "La Petite Mort" was a lot of fun and a great exercise of the imagination, mixing seduction with the supernatural. I think this book would make a great Valentine's gift either for your lover, or for yourself. Have fun! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I haven't felt this naughty since I sneak-peeked at my dad's "Penthouse" magazines in the Forum letters section when I was 12. You know the one, where all these creative liars wrote in trying to out-porno each other with outlandish tales of sex and conquest and well, graphic seduction.
Same here in this book, a gathering of not sleazy letters to a skin rag but tales written by various scribes and edited by Lonnie Garfield. And prettified, with a plot no less.
Must admit though, I skimmed through for the down and dirty parts first, my favorite being "The Welcome Home" by Saskia Walker. Because it spoke most to my own sexual fantasy of eagerly desperately greeting the man I loved and desired at the door, so starved I don't want to bother with formalities like stripping naked. Because the language is powerfully seductive, drawing you into wanting the characters, wanting to BE the character. This, especially, had me melting on the floor: "He was animal; enclosed into a space he wanted to overcome, desperate for freedom, he roared back and forth inside the captive space. Her hips forged up against his, meeting each thrust, her hands grappling themselves free to clutch at his body." Beautiful poetry--AND HOT. None of this, *Ooh baby you're so big* embarrassment.
A definite plus in catching my eye: The front cover of a naked couple lost in embrace under water.
Another plus: The stories aren't just about heterosexual monogamous encounters. Something for everybody's lust if you're not too impatient for the *good* parts first like me.

The incandescent tease (and bumblingly verbal husband) of "The Other Woman," the erotic inventiveness of "The Welcome Home," the male truthtelling of "I Wanted To," and the unwavering humaneness of the editor all make this one of the better collections of erotica in several years. We are beseiged by Henry Hyde (or Kirkus Reviews)on one side, and on the other by a steady ratcheting of erotic writing toward power games and grunge. This book is a sweet-hot antidote to BOTH. Lonnie Barbach has likely done more than any other single person to help American women reclaim sexual joy. "Joyful," in fact, is a great word for these delicious little stories. Oh, and now that I think of it, Henry: you might very well enjoy "The Other Woman" as much as I did!

Seductions is a great collection ofstories....very diversified...and a great read! Ed Buskirk's "The Other Woman" made me SMILE...and held my interest from start to finish! I would not hesitate to recommend this read to any of mygirlfriends....and look forward to Lonnie Barbach's next book of erotica!
