Best things about this cover: 
  • "Do these pajama bottoms make my boobs look big? Be honest." 
  •  Margo found that no one could resist her charms once she lured them into her Teal Chamber. 
  • And the Strategic Sheet Placement Award goes to ... Paul Rader for his "Rear End of a Reclining Brunette"!

Best things about this back cover: 
  • Cliff, Ha ha. Good luck explaining the Skid Row bums to Cliff. 
  • "And there were others." Yeah, that's implied, idiot. God, nothing is unhotter than terrible writing. 
  • "The User and the Used" — once again, publishers miss a golden book-naming opportunity. 

Page 123~ 
Addie wanted to voice her disappointment but she held it in, moving silently beside Margo, trusting Margo to lead her to the sights and the activities forbidden to normal human beings.

So ... Addie wanted Margo to take her to a Renaissance Faire?

How many scare dashes does one back cover need? Once you've said "A man -- or a woman --," "New York men -- or women --" just doesn't pack much punch.

That really made me laugh.

My first name happens to be Cliff and I hardly ever see characters with my name. Trust me, I would not be understanding about the Skid Row bums.

Yet not a single word about the terrible discomfort being experienced by the half-sheeted brunette, with her torso all twisted like that. I mean, YOU try it!

Is it just me, or does the name "Margo" come up a lot in lesbian lit?

Dear Addie,

New Yorkers, or should I say New York men - or women-, are not the only way to 'get it'. We here at Parillo Tours offer a wide variety of specialty trips, both domestic and international, designed to meet the needs of people with similar desires. There's not need to restrict oneself to New Yorkers.

May I suggest Thailand?
