Marilyn Jaye Lewis is the founder of the Erotic Authors Association, the first American organization to honor literary excellence in the erotic genre. Her books include When Hearts Collide, In the Secret Hours, and When the Night Stood Still. Related Items:      see moreAverage Rating:
 Rating:  - I love Marilyn Jaye Lewis!I've been a fan of Marilyn Jaye Lewis since reading a story of hers in an old book called The Unmade Bed. I was thrilled to see a whole collection dedicated to her talent. Lust is an excellent collection -- one of the sexiest books I've ever read! Rating:  - Nothing specialI'm afraid I'm not impressed. To say any of this functions as good fiction is a real stretch of kindness. OK, so there's a plotline here and there. But most of these stories are smut that's aspiring to be literary. Good try. But not successful. There are other books out there that can manage the blend of the erotic and the literary. This definitely ain't one of them. Rating: - One of the best erotica writers I've readThough I've enjoyed Marilyn Jaye Lewis's stories in anthologies, I'd never bought one of her books until now. I find her to be a wonderful alternative to some of the stuff that's in bookstores now -- her writing is unpretentious but colorful, direct yet artful. There's authenticity in these stories but I don't feel like I'm looking through a forbidden peephole to get a glimpse of her life. Her writing might even be too good for the erotica genre but I'm glad she's writing because it restores my faith in what *can* be accomplished in sex writing. She reminds me a little of M. Christian in that her stories are more than sex. They have depth and meaning, making the sex merely a bonus (and not all the stories actually have sex, which I think is another cool thing). Anyway, had to share. Rating: - Buy this book!I just finished reading Marilyn Jaye Lewis's new book Lust, a collection of her eclectic and wonderful short stories. My overall impression ... Marilyn is a seriously good writer! These stories are erotic, nasty (in the very best sense of the word), witty, charming, and affecting, occasionally all at the same time. No easy trick. Some of the stories I'd read previously in other publications. And of course I had a number of favorites, for example, Daddy's Girl, I Like Boys, and Anal, to mention just a few. I certainly hope Marilyn gives us more erotica in the future. But I don't want to imply that her stories succeed only as erotica. It's good fiction that works on many levels. Read it. You'll be glad you did. |
