Tease: Steamy Short Stories

My wife brought this book and could not put it down and I love to clown her that she does not know how to pick books. I read a chapter and to my surprise I couldn't put it down either. Black's male characters are so real and their thoughts mirrored my own. The stories were short but they all were exciting, sexy and dead on. I want to read more fiction from this author who knows how to tell a story that lingers. I was a fan of Bryce and Darwin. As far as the ladies go, I liked Staci and Xavia. A great book that both of us (me/wife) could enjoy.

I picked this book up because I had heard how sexy and kinky it was, but I was surprised at how great the storytelling was. LaDawn has written a book that is not only a turn on, but will also question the way we view people from different walks of life. The book was such a mix of races, economic levels, ages and more that there was a story for all. My favorite stories were Gloria and Voorhies because being that I am a mid-lifer I totally got the thread of how age and experience guides our romantic choices. The book was a great read that i could not put it down. It was funny, smart and sexy and a great book for anyone 21 to 61. I am definitely adding this one to my favorites. Plus, I loved Destiny as the narrator. Her journey made me feel that you should never ever settle.

11 of the most romantic, kinky and funny tales I have read in a very long time. From Gloria discovering a new love by the sea, Bryce getting some in a most public way and Xavia needing more than her perfect husband -- each story has a unique voice and point of view on love and sex. Loved the newsroom sex tales as well. Go Destiny! Black has a series in her feature with this one. My only gripe is it is hard to find in stores. I had to find a small black bookstore in my area to grab it. Boo to the publisher on that one!! Worth the search tho once I read it. A "Sex in the City" for the urban and fabulous!

I am so surprised when books are daring and really go for plot and fun. This book is not only sexy but smart as well. All the stories display humor, passion and of course some of the hottest sex scenes to hit the page. A page turner for those long nights when you just need a little something to get you in the mood. I had my wine and the music playing low as the short stories unfolded. There is something for everyone and one of the best examples young love that I have read in a very long time (Darwin). Definitely worth a read!

Erotica has been elevated. Black has written a funny and sexy book that will change the way you view all the online "freaks" looking for love, a smack, quick hook-up and much more. The book was so hot that I actually had to put it down a few times realizing that my man was not home and my own gratification was out of reach. The book revolves around TEASE a Baltimore weekly paper and the sexual frustrations of its news team and readers. There are 11 stories in the book and each of them tells the tale of a different lover looking for their fantasy. The characters are old, young, straight, gay, rich poor and all of them refreshingly interesting. I loved that although the book features a straight black couple on the front the stories inside seemed to reflect many different cultures, tastes and kinks. I loved the book because it was a true story with great sexual scenes peppered in. Black is definitely a new voice in erotica. I cannot wait for TEASE II.
