RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

This is one seriously naughty collection of erotic stories. You won't find heroic types in these stories, but you will find a very sexy good time.

"Love B-Ball Style" is set in the shady sexual culture of sports. It's an erotic Cinderella fantasy about a personal assistant and her basketball player client. Can Bianca get with her dream man despite his long-term girlfriend?

"These Are My Confessions" features an intelligent but aimless woman who lets a sexy new manager at her company lead her into a secret affair. She is broken down by the man and allows herself to become a stranger to herself in the interest of great sex and glamorous living, until he does the unthinkable.

"Strapped" is a hard to categorize but intriguing fantasy that is in turn, the story of a newly single woman discovering her bi-sexuality and a murder mystery. This story offers an interesting peek into the sexual subcultures of the Dallas, TX area.

"Divas Need Love Too" is about Lucky, a songstress who made it to riches and fortune well after the usual expiration date of thirty. She's racked up a lot of ex-boyfriends in her home town, and when she comes back to Chicago on her promo tour, it goes without saying that she's going to run into some of them.

One thing these four ladies do well is write about sex. If you're looking for a very sexy, but not exactly romantic set of stories, this anthology will definitely turn you on.
