Forbidden Fruit by Eden Bradley
Delta (October 28, 2008); ISBN-10: 0553385119

Sometimes the forbidden is irresistible...and one taste is never enough. For university professor Mia Rose Curry, it was all academic: her course in alternate sexuality was a safe, socially-acceptable way for her to talk about the things she desires mostbut has never let herself experience. And while students crammed into her class to learn about fetishes, bondage, voyeurism and much more, Mia kept her own raging desires, and her most private fantasies, carefully under wraps—until one man dares to make her secret passions a brazen reality.

Jagger James is everything Mia wants and everything taboo: he's gorgeous, daring—and a student. Yet Mia can't help imagining his hands, his lips, his skin...all the while drawing closer and closer to this forbidden fruit. She soon discovers how much Jagger wants her, demanding she abandon every inhibition with him. Now, they are about to take a dangerous step, tempting each others flesh, savoring every touch and breaking every ruleknowing that this dazzling, sensual feast is only a taste of something more...

"Intelligent, haunting and sexy as hell—for you people who like story and heart with your erotica, Id definitely recommend any of Edens books, but particularly Forbidden Fruit." — author Maya Banks

Amorous Woman by Donna George Storey
Orion (May 28, 2008)); ISBN-10: 1905619170

The day I left Japan, I stared at my reflection in the mirror in the airport ladies' room and made the following vows: I would never tell another lie, especially to myself. I would never let desire overwhelm common sense. I would never sleep with a man who was married to someone else, mime fellatio with a complete stranger on a stage, or take money for sex again. In fact, to cover all bases, I would never have sex again with anyone, man or woman, for the rest of my life.

For a sum much smaller than a plane ticket an American woman can travel to a rustic hot-spring inn where anything goes after midnight, don the gorgeous kimono of a Japanese bride, romp in the dungeon rooms of tacky love hotels, act out an orgy straight from manga porn, and slip inside Kyoto’s most exclusive restaurants for exquisite dinners of seduction.

The Amorous Woman experiences almost every flavor of erotic pleasure Japan has to offer—and she’s happy to take you along for the ride. Inspired by Ihara Saikaku’s 17th-century satiric novel of the pleasure quarters, this story of an American woman’s love affair with Japan—and many sexy men and women along the way—gives readers a chance to journey to a Japan few tourists ever see.

Cassandra's Conflict by Fredrica Alleyn
Virgin Black Lace; 15th Anniversary Edition (April 29, 2008); ISBN-10: 0352341866

A young governess learns that children arent the only ones who need to be disciplined.

A house in Hampstead, present day. Behind a faade of cultured respectability lies a world of decadent indulgence and dark eroticism. Cassandras sheltered life is transformed when she becomes governess to the Barons children. He draws her into games where lust can feed on the erotic charge of submission games where only he knows the rules and where unusual pleasures can flourish.

"CASSANDRA'S CONFLICT is without a doubt the most erotically enticing story I have ever had the pleasure to read." — Amanda Haffery, Romance Junkie Review, March 2008

From the Author: I can't believe that 15 years have passed since I wrote 'Cassandra's Conflict'. It was very exciting for me to be invited to write one of the four launch titles, but also slightly nerve wracking. No one involved in the launch of Black Lace had any idea of how the books would be received, as the concept of 'erotic fiction, written for women by women' was an entirely new one. The erotic fiction market had always been written with men as the target reader, even though a considerable number of women did read them. ... Fifteen years on, with Black Lace still going strong, I feel very excited that I was there at the beginning and equally delighted that my first Black Lace novel is being reissued as part of their anniversary celebration.

This is what happened…I met him at the candy store: He turned and smiled at me and I was surprised enough to smile back. This was not a children's candy store, mind you—this was the kind of place you went to buy expensive imported chocolate truffles for your boss's wife because you felt guilty for having sex with him when you were both at a conference in Milwaukee.

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

I've been hit on plenty of times, mostly by men with little finesse who thought what was between their legs made up for what they lacked between their ears. Sometimes I went home with them anyway, just because it felt good to want and be wanted, even if it was mostly fake.

The problem with wanting is that it's like pouring water into a vase full of stones. It fills you up before you know it, leaving no room for anything else. I don't apologize for who I am or what I've done in—or out—of bed.

I have my job, my house and my life, and for a long time I haven't wanted anything else. Until Dan. Until now.

Pleasure Prolonged by Cathryn Fox
Avon Red (January 1, 2007); ISBN: 0060898550

Once a mere lab assistant, Erin Shay is thrilled over her new promotion. The curvaceous, brainy, somewhat straight-laced lady has been placed in charge of an important new research project: testing a serum specially designed to substantially prolong a couple's lovemaking. With scientists Jay and Laura off on their honeymoon, Erin's been left alone in the lab with her hard-bodied new assistant, Kale Alexander, a sexy stud who has "playboy" written all over him.

Erin's never even had a one-night stand--but the project's success depends upon her playing the wild, wanton bad girl to red-hot Casanova Kale. Since she's already learned the perils of leaving her heart too open to heartbreak, this time she'll be the one calling the shots. Her bad boy partner is going to know from the get-go that this will be a brief sex-only affair--hot, torrid, steamy love in the interests of science with absolutely no strings attached.

But when the loving is this deliciously hot, who in her right mind wouldn't want to prolong the pleasure...

Entertaining Mr. Stone by Portia Da Costa
Virgin Black Lace (May 2, 2006); ISBN 0352340290

When reforming bad girl Maria Lewis takes a drone job in local government back in her home town, the quiet life she was looking for is quickly disrupted by the enigmatic presence of her boss, Borough Director, Robert Stone. A dangerous and unlikely object of lust, Stone touches something deep in Maria’s sensual psyche and attunes her to the erotic underworld that parallels life in the dusty offices of Borough Hall.

But the charismatic Mr Stone isn’t the only one interested in Maria – knowing lesbian Mel and cute young techno geek Greg both have designs on the newcomer, as does Human Resources Manager William Youngblood, who wants to prize the Borough’s latest employee away from the arch-rival for whom he has ambiguous feelings.

The author, Portia Da Costa, is one of the most internationally renowned authors of erotica returning to Black Lace after a few years away. And we are so very grateful she's return. Portia Da Costa's Entertaining Mr. Stone is excellent. Don't miss it.
