Review: A Little Romp into Erotica with Pleasant Surprises

Out of the gate, I must confess: I'm a newbie as an erotica reader, so I still don't fully know what the genre is about or the reading experience, for that matter. I also will be the first to admit: I probably came in with certain expectations of a male writer tackling erotic material - okay, maybe lower expectations. I know that sounds absolutely horrible of me - but I'm honest. (Gold star for that, at least?)I think I expected less sensuality or the lack of that slow build-up of the blooming romances I've come to enjoy in contemporary romance. But I was pleasantly surprised at the attention to detail the author lavished here. I won't kid you - this is definitely erotica, not contemporary romance, so if you're prone to blush...well, expect a hot-cheeked read during this one. The face, people...Dirty minds, I swear. ;-)Lincoln's style is fresh, often funny in a sexy banter manner that I enjoyed, in particular how he playfully laid out the stories with just enough of one before toodling over to the other couple so we continued to be interested in both. The steamy scenes are well, just that - quite steamy but seemed thoughtful and he kept the reader intrigued on what would happen next at all times.This is a novella and the first of three stories that follows the sexual adventures of two couples who take their holiday surfside and soon discover it is an opportunity do more than explore the shore - I'll be picking up part 2 this weekend, in fact, and look forward to continuing the romp. Part 3 is expected later in the spring, I believe.So...if you've been considering putting your pinky toe into the erotica pool, this might be a wonderful place to start. It's a fast read, currently priced rather inexpensively as an e-book on Amazon but long on wit and allure. I'll be definitely checking out the follow-ups and other titles by Cameron Lincoln to dip a few of my other toes in the water. If you care to join me... Come on in, the water's fine. :-)  ~ck
