Doesn’t matter what the color, all undergarments come off just as easily in PURPLE PANTIES<\/em><\/strong>, the newest book from renowned erotica writer Zane, author of best-selling books Addicted<\/em> and Chocolate Flava<\/em>. This time, she focuses her view strictly on the ladies in this anthology of 26 lesbian tales of passion.<\/p>\n

As Zane says in her introduction, “You might need a few drinks when you read this book, definitely a sex toy or lover, but you are in for one hell of a ride.” Truer words were never written as you peruse story after story varying from tender romance to rip-your-bra-off sex. Not one author fails to ignite a spark with each page.<\/p>\n

Take for instance Laurinda D. Brown’s “It’s All or Nothing,” which finds housewife Meena realizing she gave up too much for her husband, and it took another woman’s kiss to cut the apron strings. Then a pleasure-seeking vacationer looks for “Island Goddess” at a paradise resort, and toy-shopping takes on a whole new meaning at with an adult store proprietor taking advantage of her own products in “Miss Julidene’s Sexy Items.”<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of Purple Panties<\/em> is women discovering the delights of the female sex for the first time. This is portrayed in stories such as “The Finest Man,” wherein a feminine security guard is tantalized by the masculine individual at her workplace, even after realizing he’s<\/em> really a she<\/em>. Syreeta then ponders what her attraction to the stud says about herself, because she’s ready to give it up – no matter what the gender.<\/p>\n

As expected, Purple Panties<\/em> has the no-holds barred escapades that blaze with undeniable chemistry. That’s provided courtesy of “The Purple Panty Revue,” as Jay meets the faceless neighbor that’s haunted her fantasies for the past few weeks; the surprise is where they finally encounter one another – and what happens next.<\/p>\n

Zane’s own novella is saved for last with “In My Mind,” a tale of a nude art model who poses at local university. One particular co-ed catches Emile’s eye, and she wishes to depict her feelings with the shy undergraduate – if only she could break the student’s aloof exterior.<\/p>\n

Purple Panties<\/em> proves more than provocative, worthy of getting your underwear damp. The only objection is that some stories seem to stop abruptly, and I was left wanting more. Yet I love the fact Zane is bringing lesbian literature to a mainstream black audience; in fact, she’s planning to publish a sequel to Panties early next year.<\/p>\n

And I, for one, will be happily waiting – because Zane always knows how to put it down.<\/p>\n
