Messalina – Devourer of Men
By Zetta Brown
When life imitates art...
Eva Cavell is a woman with an embarrassing secret.
She is sexually frustrated and is convinced that her size and race intimidates men.
In an attempt to relieve her sexual tension, every Thursday Eva goes to a local movie theater and allows desperate strangers to fondle her in the dark. She allows no eye contact, no phone numbers—and definitely no names.
During one of her escapades, renowned artist, Jared Delaney, a smooth Southern gentleman with irresistible violet eyes, has Eva breaking her own rules. He has been watching Eva on her weekly visits and sees through her icy defence and straight through to the hot passion burning underneath.
...expect to be framed
Messing about in dark theaters isn’t a good pastime for Eva. She is a tenure-track instructor at a private Denver college that is currently embroiled in a sex scandal and she is the youngest child of a prominent black family.
To add to her turmoil, Neil Hollister, Eva’s classroom aide and former student, is a handsome, barely-legal frat brat whose interest in her is carnal rather than academic—and she’s tempted.
Despite desperate attempts to maintain control, Eva’s world is spiralling into chaos. As emotional pressures build inside her, an explosion is imminent. Will she ever be able to live her life how she wants and without shame?
The answer may lie with a woman who is bold and unashamed in her sexuality.
Can Eva be more like her? What would happen if she even tried?

Future Perfect
A Collection of Fantastic Erotica
By Helen E. H. Madden
What if you made love to a woman at the end of the universe, only to discover she was devastating black hole? What if the archangel Gabriel fell in love with the Virgin Mary and never delivered the Annunciation? What if a female dominant saw the future . . . every time she had an orgasm? For years, speculative fiction has asked the question “What if . . .?” Now the tales of Future Perfect go one step beyond and speculate on the possibilities of the erotic.
From the distant future to a biblical past and everything in between, Future Perfect examines the role of sex in a fantastic world. The stories range from hard science fiction to urban fantasy, but through it all runs a thread of explicit sexuality that embraces a wide range of orientations and relationships. Whether presented as the force of cosmic creation or the deceitful lure of Satan, Future Perfect takes sex beyond the limits of the everyday to show it as the impetus for change on a universal scale.
So open the cover and leave the mundane behind. A world of “What if . . .” is waiting for you.

Bittersweet
Stories of tainted desire
by Amber Hipple
Not all sex is romance or fun. Sometimes there’s desperation. Explore the deeper, darker aspects of love and want in "Bittersweet", Amber Hipple’s intensely emotive debut collection of tainted erotica. Be moved by the cycle of wanting to be wanted and the pain of wanting too much. "Bittersweet" is a lesson in reality; it’s what love and desire can be. Expect no "happy ever after" in these stories, but expect to be left wanting more.
Jim Brown, owner of Logical-Lust, says; “Amber Hipple has come up with something quite out of the ordinary in ‘Bittersweet’. Gone is the sugary-sweet romanticism and the happy-ever-after, to be replaced by the profound emotions and outpourings that are real in love and sex. You’ll find your heart being wrenched apart by the yearnings and the despair of the characters, yet still be stirred and aroused by the sheer passion in the erotica she produces.”
BITTERSWEET by Amber Hipple, is released in both digital (ebook) and print formats, and will be available worldwide through www.logical-lust.com, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and all good online retailers.
Crimson Succubus: The Demon Chronicles
By Carmine
“A few years back, I began receiving emailed submissions to the erotic literary ezine Sauce*Box from a writer known to me only as ‘Carmine’. These submissions were short pieces (‘flash-fiction’, if you will) detailing yet another ‘Tale of the Crimson Succubus’. Each was a stand-alone jewel, horrible, cruel, fantastically, outrageously, graphically sexual, but also somehow (dare I say it . . . forgive me, Carmine) charming. I liked them very much and published ev
ery one that was sent.
“Now I find that some these short tales along with longer pieces concerning the ‘adventures’ of the Crimson Succubus, and a third section concerning a mythical nymph Mytoessa who also becomes involved with the succubus have been collected together in one place—a delightfully, tastefully disgusting book, Tales of the Crimson Succubus, The Demon Chronicles by Carmine.
“This person, Carmine, is one sick puppy, but one with adorable eyes and floppy ears. The tales involve much blood- and semen-letting, murder, torture, deception and pain, but at the same time, I often want to laugh and wish that the creatures would appear for real, in front of me, so that I could see with my own eyes and even touch (very, very carefully, mind you) these monsters formed from the primordial slime of all of our great cultural myths.
“And of course, like all myths, these tales speak to our deepest fears, and hopes and fantasies . . . perhaps to archetypes from times before even the written word, times long forgotten in consciousness but remembered in the collective genetic code. I don’t know. Whatever. They’re a great read, an exciting read and one that will tickle your nightmares and daydreams long after you’ve put this book down.”
