Anyone who knows me…know that I love an author who can tell a good story and take the ordinary and make it memorable. This author had already done that with her non-fiction titles…but I wondered if she could do the same with a fictional novel. Especially since she decided to write an erotic tale…which I thought was out of her realm…and honestly knowing what I know about her…I expected her to give me a literary fiction novel. So, I was pleasantly surprised to see her writing fiction more or less erotic.
But, as with anything she writes, she did the genre well. She gave me some hot, between the sheets, bump and grind sex scenes. But, she also gave me well-developed characters, smooth pacing, twists and turns, a titillating storyline and dayum good writing! Oh and several messages too boot!
APOOO invites you to read the paragraph below and guess who the author is as well as the title of the book.
Lydia Beaucoup and Acey Allen are in their early forties and still “fly”. Lydia’s profession as sr. account executive at a San Francisco PR firm is monotonous on a good day, while ace-boon-coon and proprietress of a small spa in downtown Oakland , Acey grows weary of husband Matthew and their almost non-existent sex life. Fed up with thwarted relationships and unfulfilling professions, a ludicrous tête-à-tête one Sunday afternoon unexpectedly spawns, A Sisters’ Spa; a male brothel for African-American women in Reno, Nevada where “a special set of services are designed to meet the most intimate needs of black women.” When politics, religion, sexism and scandal threaten to cease operation of A Sisters Spa, Lydia and Acey must pull together a plan of action or their hard work will go “limp” not to mention their male companions.
