Seductions ─ Tales of Erotic Persuasion

Now a pivotal figure in the field of literary erotica, Lonnie Barbach was first known for her pioneering books about sex and relationships. Seductions is a sumptuous anthology in which she explores the ways that erotic art can kindle romance, ignite desire, and bring two people together in the most pleasurable and satisfying ways imaginable. The twenty stories showcased here cover the full spectrum of sexual experience and identity as they reveal seduction in all its varied and exotic forms. Seductions is written for a wide-ranging audience--young and old, male and female, heterosexual and gay, married and single. It will take readers beyond the limits of their erotic imagination to a realm that is both tantalizing and provocative.
