When Dez finally settles down and marries Victoria, it leaves R\u00e9mi to comb the balmy city in search of new fun without her running buddy.<\/p>\n<p>And that she does. From t\u00eat\u00ea-\u00e0-t\u00eat\u00eas in her popular nightclub to entertaining sexy triplets, R\u00e9mi could never deny her decadent sexual appetite &#8211; until she finally gets the chance to sample a dish she&#8217;s been craving her whole life: Claudia, Dez&#8217;s mother.<\/p>\n<p>Forbidden, yes. Off limits, yes. Yet feels so right, yes.<\/p>\n<p>In all actuality, R\u00e9mi&#8217;s heart has belonged to Claudia since the day she eyed the maternal beautiful outside her school, marveling the enigmatic woman. It later works in Remi&#8217;s favor that she and Dez become close friends and she&#8217;s introduced to her dream woman. In time, R\u00e9mi grew into a member of Dez&#8217;s family, but she doesn&#8217;t outgrow her crush on Claudia, despite the many women she encounters.<\/p>\n<p>When it happens one night that the two are left to their own devices after Dez&#8217;s wedding, they find their attraction palpable but try to fight it. R\u00e9mi&#8217;s reserved because of her friendship with Dez, and Claudia struggles with the age and sexual differences between them.<\/p>\n<p>One thing they can&#8217;t deny, though, is the heat simmering when they touch. The only thing that impedes their passion is the one person that means the most to them.<\/p>\n<p>Zedde is one of the black lesbian community&#8217;s most dependable writers, her vivid storytelling brought to life in her characters. <em>Hungry<\/em> is no different. It&#8217;s just the kind of fast-paced, meaty read one needs for the summer. While the novel&#8217;s side plots move quickly, the main course is R\u00e9mi and Claudia, two women discovering that love is dish best served hot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reviewed June 2008<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Publisher\/Date:\u00a0 Kensington, June 2008 Genre:\u00a0 Romance Pages:\u00a0 288 Website:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.fionazedde.com Yes, Fiona&#8217;s back.
