SEX CHRONICLE: SHATTERING THE MYTH
|
Author:Zane
After more than two years of entertaining tens of thousands of loyal readers on the Internet with her vivid imagination, a large collection of Zane's erotica is finally available in a published format. Zane has captivated the minds of both sexes and all races. She has completely shattered the myth that men are more sexual in nature than women and that African-American women in particular are inhibited compared to their female counterparts of other races. The erotica collection is divided into three sections: Wild, Wilder and Off Da Damn Hook. Her characters run the gamut from the sensual housewife that wants her husband to experiment more to the secret underground sorority of women that let it all hang out literally.

THE HEAT SEEKERS
(Paperback)
|
Author:Zane
Hot, hungry, and hunting...
They're sisters of the soul, two girlfriends hitting the clubs in search of that oh-so-rare commodity: straight, single guys. Tempest sports a modest suit, while Janessa runs wild in a skintight minidress -- but they both want the same thing: the heat, the passion, the spark to ignite the sensual fires inside. It takes time and patience to find such a special lover. But somewhere among the freaks and fruitcakes, they know there's a match for each of them.
Tall, dark, and hands-on...
The last thing Geren wants is a relationship -- most women can't see past his money and his good looks. His best friend Dvont� is a player, with sex -- and definitely not commitment -- on his mind. But when Dvont� talks Geren into going clubbing, fate leads them to Tempest and Janessa. Attractions flare, connections are made, lives are changed -- and secrets come to light. Together, they are the heat seekers, four daring hearts willing to play with fire -- and take the risk of getting burned....

BABY MOMMA DRAMA
|
Author:Carl Weber
The protagonists are a pair of sisters, Jasmine and Stephanie, who have enough man trouble between them to last most families several generations. Jasmine's gig as a postal supervisor in Richmond, Va., gives her the edge in stability over her younger sister, Stephanie, but she happens to be dating Derrick, a drug dealer who is serving out a jail term as the book opens. Stephanie, meanwhile, lands a better boyfriend when she hooks up with Travis, a stable, staid army sergeant who is willing to marry her and adopt her young daughter, Maleka. But Stephanie screws up the relationship when she slips into the sack with her ex, a seedy hustler and absentee father. Jasmine has similar problems when Derrick gets out of prison early, just after she meets Dylan, a potentially stellar new beau. The novel's first half is reasonably solid, but drugs, sexual escapades, venereal disease and loud, melodramatic confrontations dominate the proceedings once the basic plot is outlined. The four primary characters are well drawn-though cartoonishly addicted to sex-but virtually every secondary character in the book is introduced for the purpose of bedding one of the major playas.

SHADES OF JADE
|
Author:Gloria Mallette
Marissa just isn't the marrying kind-she prefers other women's husbands. Currently, she's dating four: true love Terrence, who won't leave his kids; supersexy Louis; Wayne, who's impotent but does his manly best to make it up to her; and Eric, a young dentist. Her nagging girlfriend Charmaine criticizes her morally questionable ways, but Marissa doesn't care. She likes being single, and with an MBA, a Lexus, and all that, this African-American princess is not about to compromise her independence by taking up cooking, cleaning, or any other form of domestic slavery in the name of love. In Marissa's not-so-humble opinion, Charmaine is old-fashioned. She can just go ahead and marry Gregory, that boring prison guard she thinks is so fine, even though everybody knows she cheats on him. But Charmaine might as well stop trying to fix her friend up. Her latest recommendation, a hunky contractor named Levi, is a No Sale: Marissa doesn't date men who do dirty work. Gay pal Brandon wrings his carefully manicured hands over her pickiness and advises Marissa to stop telling Charmaine about her affairs, but she insists that her love life is her business. Then an anonymous caller warns Marissa to "stay away from her man." The question is: Which man? Other threatening calls follow, but the speaker never identifies herself. Brandon, concerned for Marissa's safety, decides to get her together with Levi, who's remodeling his apartment. And what do you know? Marissa is attracted to him, even if he is single. And when her phone stalker shows up in person-luckily, on the other side of a strong door-it's tall, dark, and handsome Levi that Marissa turns to for help.

SWEET ST LOUIS
|
Author:Omar Tyree
St. Louis, Missouri, placed right smack in the heart of America and left of the Mississippi River that flows from north to south and through the midwestern region like a major artery, was sizzling hot in the month of May 1999. So hot was the city of St. Louis in the springtime that younger women were already wearing suffocating shorts with pockets so tight you could barely stick a dime in them. They wore thigh-high skirts and stomach-length shirts with those look-at-me-right-now colors: bright greens, luscious oranges, cool blues, bleached whites, bumblebee yellows, and whatnot. And these young women were showing far too much skin for the guys in St. Louis to handle, too much, in fact, for young men anywhere! Especially in the springtime when the hormones jumped Double Dutch on the brain. Maybe it was the heat of those outfits that drove the young guys insane. Then again, they were not supposed to notice, I guess.
