Ladies and Studs seeking pleasures between the covers can look no further than LONGING, LUST AND LOVE: BLACK LESBIAN STORIES<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Written\u00a0by 25 new and established writers, this collection of 28 sultry tales, edited by Nghosi\u00a0Books founder Shonia\u00a0L. Brown, traces the varying stages of black lesbian relationships \u2013 from the art of tease to tying the knot. Every story finds women in various forms of infatuation, pursuit and devotion.<\/p>\n

Take for instance, in “Heartfelt” by Nikki Rose, longing<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is shown through the eyes of Taris, who immediately becomes attracted to a co-worker’s sister, Kai, who doesn’t give her the time of day. Taris, an aggressive businesswoman, isn’t used to getting the cold shoulder and determines to break down Kai’s icy demeanor – and manages to do it one rainy night.<\/p>\n

Lust<\/span><\/em><\/strong> becomes desperate in “Look at Me When You Come” by Tasha C. Miller, as Alexis falls for an extremely sexy stud who grants her every bedroom desire. Married and miserable, Alexis abandons her unsatisfying relationship for a few gratifying hours with Taylor – but eventually Alexis wants something more than just passionate exchanges. Is her stud charming willing to give her what she wants?<\/p>\n

Finding and sustaining love<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0are two different things, but Brown’s own tale, “From Friends to Lovers” makes it look effortless between acquaintances Erin and Serita. Meeting at a party two years prior, the pair never quite found their way to one another. A brazen phone call one night unlocks the mystery of where their attraction could lead – from being distant to being together – without any distractions.<\/p>\n

Longing, Lust, and Love<\/em>\u00a0takes women there and still keeps a realistic tone with every word. Brown has chosen a well-rounded concoction\u00a0sure to have you melting, laughing and yearning for love, lust and longing – everything a woman wants.<\/p>\n
