Title:  Emmanuelle Year:  1974 Starring:  Sylvia Kristel, Daniel Sarky, Alain Cuny  Director:  Just Jaeckin Synopsis:  An employee at the French Embassy in Bangkok invites his wife to join him – and enjoy the benefits of their open marriage. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes:  Once more we dive into classics. Buy:  Amazon     "l knew then that a cascade is only beautiful if you can say so to the one you love." I realize it’s kind of arrogant to claim a deep dive into a franchise that has seven parts, not to mention countless unauthorized spin-offs, a video game, a reboot and two novels, while engaging in just the first film, the most recent remake, and listened to a possibly abridged version of one of the two novels. But, realistically, there’s only so many hours in a week and Kage and I aren’t getting any younger. So, while we admittedly dove into the shallower end of the experience, we did ultimately decide that since Emmanuelle is s...

Title: The Beast of Her Dreams: A Sapphic Shifter Erotica Year: 2022 Author: Naomi Piper Synopsis:  For months, Emaline has dreamt of a mysterious pair of eyes in the woods. And every night, her curiosity grows, and the monster dreams get steamier. By day, Emaline is a college student, struggling to pass her statistics class. When her hot butch classmate seems to know more about Emaline than she should, things get interesting. Lilith's Notes: So, a funny thing about female hyenas... "Emaline is in the Forest Again..."

But, once Ema started dreaming of her beast, I was hooked. This story really likes to tease the reader. It's not a slow burn exactly, but, in the true style of dreams, Ema wakes just as the dream is getting good. Until she manages to finall...

Title: In the Bedroom of Medusa Year: 2021 Author: Magen Cubed Synopsis:  An ancient monster in the modern-day. A gilded castle with whispered secrets. A peculiar sapphic romance. When Evelyn agrees to become the live-in companion of the secretive Lady Demetria Balaskas, the human finds herself falling for a creature lost to time. Lilith's Notes: I received an ARC of this book. First book I've read by this author. "At that moment, I became anathema." (I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.) Evelyn is an escort who spends time with men for money. One day she is hired to be the companion for the rich, eccentric Lady Demetria Balaskas. Exclusively. Evelyn will live at Demetria's manor among maids, her days will be her own, and her nights would be to serve her mysterious Mistress. Since it's in the title of the story we all know why we're here. I love this book. It was incredibly hot. The relationship between Evelyn and Demetria...
