Erotica is normally not my cup of tea, but Cheri Crystal’s Attractions of the Heart contains stories that are filled with so much more than sex-for-sex’s-sake. They are truly filled with heart…and humor…and good old-fashioned romance. These short stories are varied little vignettes that are small artistic masterpieces in themselves. Each story has its own cover and “backmatter” to get the reader “in the mood.”

The first offering is entitled “Lobster Box,” a story filled with awkward getting-to-know-you moments punctuated with humor, lust, and love. Other stories portray more hard-core sexuality. There are stories about fishing, cooking, fisting, relationships with authors, and the most touching of all, a story called “Kumquat, Did You Say?” – a story about the real meaning of love: when a butch goes the extra mile for the love of her life because cancer has stopped the dreams the femme lover in her life has of having a family.

This book would make a lovely Valentine’s gift for that someone special. Or give the gift of reading them as bedtime stories to your special woman.

Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 7 p.m. at Bluestockings Bookshop in NYC, Rachel Kramer Bussel, JD Glass and I heated up a frigid evening on the Lower East Side of Manhattan to a packed crowd.

The staff at Bluestockings were the most gracious hosts, the audience simply rocked, and reading with Rachel and JD was an awesome experience. I loved every minute of it and truly appreciate everyone who braved the cold, and the Atlantic flight, to come out and show their support. Here are my pictures. I’m still basking in the glow.

The Ties That Bind

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL.

Make it memorable. I hope this is the best one yet! I received a 5 heart review from The Romance Studio for my BDSM story, “The Ties That Bind.” http://theromancestudio.com/reviews/reviews/thatbindcrystal.htm My holidays couldn’t be more joyous! I HOPE YOURS WILL BE TOO. In a sequel to Does the Butch Come with the Recipe, softball captain, Cyndy Kaplan and her girlfriend, Tristan Rizzo, are back for a whole new adventure with much higher stakes. After Tristan’s prediction comes true and the Butch Cookbook earns enough money to subsidize a trip to Ft. Lauderdale for the whole team to attend the playoffs, she suggests another getaway, only without the softball league. Cyndy agrees to pop her Provincetown cherry in order to commemorate the 25th Annual Women’s Week. They end up renting a fantastic house in the fun-filled, estrogen-fest, with Tristan’s twin sister and her girlfriend to partake in the festivities. Cyndy has no idea what to expect, but Tristan is certain she’ll have Cyndy begging to come back for more.

 

Take a break from all the holiday rush and judge for yourself. Order “The Ties That Bind” today.

Here’s a snippet from the review -

“This is truly an erotic romance, and I particularly liked that the descriptions of the sexual activity between the characters starts out slowly, while we get to know Cyndy and Tristan, and builds to a more intimate (and adventurous) level as the story progresses. I always like to read about people who truly care about each other, and it doesn’t hurt that they also majorly turn each other on.”
