It's actually a little tiny pocket book but it has many different names for sex, body parts, sex acts etc. and the year/century in which people would have used these terms. Thought you might like to know in case you didn't know already. Oh Lynne,

I think? I'm not near as well read up on those!" It might fit better. Maybe the scene of public sex in a brothel was too much for them, and I use appropriate terms, but not, I thought too explicit. Ah well. As of today, I can say that I'll run it past my agent! “I think Spice Briefs have done some historicals. I think? I’m not near as well read up on those!”

Ann Lethbridge just dropped me an e-mail to tell me that her April book actually features one of Tony's friends as the hero. However, Tony and Margaret DO make an appearance in the book....it's just they are not the main characters and readers aren't going to get the "full story" of their romance. Just wanted to clear the air on that. And I still heartily recommend this short story. Seriously, I've quickly becoming a major ho for these Undones..... FYI – for anyone intrigued by this review.

I wouldn't classify them as full-blown purple, more like tip-toeing through Lavender Country ;) That being said, for readers who like hot sex but don't like to read words like c*ck and f*ck on the page.....this one fits the bill nicely. I've read all the Undones now, and they've all been around R ratings. Certainly hotter than the regular HH line (which tends to fall around my PG or PG-13 meter) but not as hot as say the Spice Briefs. Have you thought about submitting your story to them?

They said it was too explicit, they prefer more euphemisms. Oops! Well, I just had a story rejected by them. They said it was too explicit, they prefer more euphemisms. Oops!
