Laura J’s review of Thigh High by Bonnie Edwards
Erotic romance released 1 Feb 08 by Kensington Aphrodisia

This is a single-author anthology of three fabulously sensual short stories: Twinkle Twinkle Little Thong, Thigh High, and Parlor Games.

[Ed.: I love the covers of Bonnie’s books – gorgeous photographs of couples entwined with shadow and light – beautiful.]

In the first story, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Thong, heroine Frankie Volpe is hiding out on a yacht when a panty-stealing pooch makes off with, and then hides, a $50,000 thong decorated with diamonds. When Frankie follows the thong thief back to his owner she meets Daniel Marting, a man whose voice has been seducing Frankie over the airwaves every night. While hunting for the missing thong, Daniel and Frankie can’t help but act on their growing feelings for each other. Daniel knows Frankie is hiding something but doesn’t want to scare her off. Will Frankie learn to trust Daniel enough to give love a chance? Read it and find out.

In the second story, Thigh High, neighbors Taye and Kat have eyes for each other. Taye opens a package that is for Kat but is accidently left on his doorstep. When he sees the contents he begins to wonder if Kat is the shy girl she seems or if she’s the sex kitten in the the thigh high stockings he finds in the package. Taye gets his chance when when Kat is dared by a friend to seduce him and Kat is not about to loose this dare.

The final story, Parlor Games, brings readers to the Perdition House*. Built by a former Madame almost 100 years ago, Perdition House is now run by the Madame’s great grand niece, Faye, with the help of some former residents. Matt Crewe is a bachelor to be auctioned off for a weekend of pleasure. Carrie MacLean is the woman he wants to place the winning bid. Both are here to research stories about the house that could help their careers, but the former ladies of the house have something bigger and better planned for the career driven Matt and Carrie…

I loved all three stories, but I gotta admit Parlor Games was my favorite. The sex is sizzling hot, but it’s the tender moments that make these stories so fantastic. Ms Edwards’ style of writing allows you to really feel the characters’ emotions. This is the first Bonnie Edwards book I have read and it won’t be my last. If her other books are as half as hot as this one, I’ll be one very happy reader. I’ve already picked up a couple of her previous books to add to my tbr pile.

Grade: A
