Review: More than an erotic novel
Rating: 5 out of 5

Olivia was the second R. Lee Smith book that I have read.  The first being Heat, which I also highly recommend.  Olivia is not a quick or easy read.  The imagination of this author, the intricate world that she created from language to customs is impressive and addictive.  Yes, there is sex and yes, it's graphic.  For the most part, it makes sense to weave it into this 'new world'.  It makes sense that sex is a primal and a life giving act, especially for a race that is dying.  I enjoyed this book tremendously and R. Lee Smith has not disappointed me yet in any of her books.  I'm currently on the 4th book of her Lords of Arcadia series.  After that, I will wait patiently (NOT) with other R. Lee Smith fans for her next novel.
