4.0 out of 5 stars Poetry that is understandable, enticing, for 'couples'., 27 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Unlike other 'love' poetry, these are understandable. Most enjoyable when shared between two, cuddled up, taking turns reading aloud. A nice way to end (or start) the night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly, sexually charged, a new aspect to bed-time reading!, 2 May 1999
By A Customer
This book was astounding. The words, the space, the whole thing was utterly amazing. This is the only book I've found that actually makes me sexually aroused when read aloud, and my partner agrees - it makes him so hard! This book has done wonders for our sex-life, and I owe it all to Wendy Maltz. Forever-thanks.
