The Book: Suffering from heartache over her broken engagement, Nadia has sworn off men. Elisheba, who has been a confidant throughout the break up, has always stood by Nadia—but Elisheba has more on her mind than friendship.

The Review: This was a quickie.  Literally.  It’s a six page story about two women having sex. I approached this story with a ton of interest, seeing as how I walk on the lesbian side of things and there is an incredible shortage of good lesbian erotica.  This wasn’t bad.  Because it was a quickie, there was no plot.  Two friends meet at a bar.  One is getting over a failed relationship with a man. The other comes out of the closet and suggests that being with a woman could be a fun way to find uncomplicated sexual release. Some people out there might question how it could escape someone’s notice that their best friend is a lesbian, but you’d be surprised at what people don’t know until they’re told.  It’s a completely believable premise.

I can’t say that either of the women are lesbians—bisexual might be a more appropriate term—and neither of them is looking for something more than multiple orgasms.  I get the sense that they will go back to men and pretend their night never happened, though there are hints that Elisheba is more into women than Nadia.  We’ll never know unless Ms. Ravena delivers another installment. (Hint, hint.)

I liked the writing style.  It was friendly, clean and clear.  It held my interest from the first word to the last, and not because of the topic.  There was a good amount of description, which is essential with erotica, and it was a hot read.  I recommend this to anyone looking to read about a short, hot encounter between women.

Pagan Elements: None

Cover (Rated 1-10): 4-It’s a woman holding a lily. The top half of her face is gone. I kept checking the size and making sure it loaded correctly because it just doesn’t look right. It’s a pretty cover, but I fail to see what it has to do with the story. If I saw this in a store, I would think it was chick lit, not erotica.
