Book Reviews of Enchanted: Erotic Bedtime Stories For Women
Book Review: Super Erotic (without dirty words)
Summary: 5 Stars
Bravo for the way this enchanting book was written! There was not one single dirty word in the book. But don't let that fool you. There is every sexy act you can imagine in here. Well, not everything, but most everything. Lets see, it starts with a very memorable beauty and the beast story, then some bondage in Bluebeard, then came a contest of wills in Cat and Mouse, and then it was on to a little teasing in Cinderella, oh, and we certainly can't forget the random stranger-in-the-dark sex in East/Sun West/Moon, and them came a little wife swapping action in Mrs. Fox, moving on to some exhibition action in Mirror on the Wall, I can't remember them all. What am I missing...there was a menage twa (spelling?)in the Goose Girl, and there was still a few more I think. On and on, as you can see there is a different plot in each of the 13 stories. I enjoyed all of them, but had a few favorites. Most everyone should be able to find something to love in this selection. It has a feel good fairy tale kind of thing to it as you read.Book Review: Refreshingly Innovative
Summary: 5 Stars
An absolutely wonderful book. Along with Suzie Van Aartman's 100 Percent Erotica, (which was so sexually explicit that I had to change my underwear after reading it) must probably rank as two of the greatest books of erotica ever written.100 Percent Erotica Nancy Madore's book gives us another unusual and refreshingly different angle on erotica, fitting the stories within our favourite fairy stories is a brilliant idea and gives a whole new dimension to the genre. It works and it works very well. Plus, they are short stories, so you can take them for a few minutes at a time, or as long as you like, whenever the feeling arises. I've always favoured the short story format over the sometimes long winded novel, some of which seem to take ages before anyone gets into bed. So this book gets my five stars and very deservedly so. Highly recommended for getting you in the mood for love, maybe you could even read it to your partner to get them in the mood as well. Bedtime Erotica is well worth looking at also.Book Review: Literary Erotica
Summary: 5 Stars
I was enchanted with this bunch of fairy tales. The stories were re-told brilliantly. I could not put it down. Nancy Madore incorporates an erotic fantasy into each fairy tale and you would never think for a minute the stories were not intended to be told this way. For example, in her "Beauty and the Beast" which was my favorite, Beauty falls in love with a half man, half beast and the story really heats up without a single dirty word. Madore also takes every opportunity to show compassion for her characters while never missing a chance to score a point for women. An example of this is "Mirror on the Wall" where she re-writes the story of Snow White's evil step mother with enormous empathy for what a woman goes through during the aging process. This book made me feel good in more ways than one. I immediately put in my order for her new book, "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" and I can't wait to see what she does with that story, which is one of my favorite fairy tales of all times.Book Review: Stunning Pageturner
Summary: 5 Stars
What a delight! This little book came my way as a gift and I have enjoyed it so much. There is so much more than just erotic stories here. First, the fairy tales are brilliantly written with the old characters getting so much more character than they had in the children's stories. Next, the fantasies are fantastic, and written so beautifully that the sensuality of it sneaks up on you. But my favorite part of all was Nancy Madore's subtle words of wisdom hidden between the lines. I felt like I was reading the words of an understanding friend. Her insights on women and their fantasies is amazing. Instead of feeling less than adequate after reading the stories, which romance novels tend to do to me, I felt exhilarated after reading. This is a little treasure that I will keep near my bed because it really does make me feel better after I'v had a bad day. I have been searching for more from this author since I finished the book. Is this a one hit wonder? I hope not.Book Review: Yay!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
About a year and a half ago, I stumbled across Nancy Madore's "Bedtime Stories for Women." It instantly became one of my favorite erotic story collections, with its elegant prose and naughty retellings of classic fairy tales.
As the best books tend to do, my copy was borrowed and never came back, and I was unable to find another copy.
Imagine my delight when I found "Enchanted." At first I was thrilled to have something new by the same author, but when I realized it was a reprint of "Bedtime Stories," that was also good news, because my copy was AWOL. So the caveat is that this is Bedtime Stories reprinted. If your copy of the original is still around, you probably don't need this one.
However, it's delightful to see this volume getting wider distribution and a gorgeous cover, both of which it always deserved.
*clutches book tightly* It's good to have you back, old friend.
