S.E.X. Review by Jessie~ Aqua Follies- Liv Rancourt

The 1950s. Postwar exuberance. Conformity. Rock and roll.

Homophobia.

Russell tells himself he’ll marry Susie because it’s the right thing to do. His summer job coaching her water ballet team will give him plenty of opportunity to give her a ring. But on the team’s trip to the annual Aqua Follies, the joyful glide of a trumpet player’s solo hits Russell like a torpedo, blowing apart his carefully constructed plans.

From the orchestra pit, Skip watches Poseidon’s younger brother stalk along the pool deck. It never hurts to smile at a man, because good things might happen. Once the last note has been played, Skip gives it a shot.

The tenuous connection forged by a simple smile leads to events that dismantle both their lives. Has the damage been done, or can they pick up the pieces together?

Aqua Follies by Liv Rancourt was a historical piece set in the 1950's. I truly loved this story. The characters were someone you could really identify with and the setting was something else. You really felt as though you had traversed back in time with all the details given in the story.

Russell was the typical boy next door who had his life all planned out. Skip was a musician just trying to make ends meet and take care of his mom. It was a time when loving another of the same sex could get you locked up or worse.

It was a true love story from the first smile to the last. Reading this book gave me a good feeling and a sense of hope. Hope meaning that you can really find the one out there for you even when the odds are against you.

I don't want to give any of the story away but this a book worth your time to read. Setting it around the aqua follies was brilliant.

S.E.X. Review~ Suspended Game by Roz Lee

After five years spent proving his innocence in a gambling scheme, Jimmy Doyle Walker is back on the field for the Washington Diplomats. Given one season to demonstrate he can still contribute to the team, he guards his secrets well, knowing exposure of his unorthodox sex life would create a career-ending scandal. When he meets Evelyn Gardner, she tests his resolve, and he risks everything to show her the delights to be found in his arms.

Living day-to-day as a switchboard operator, Evelyn Gardner loathes the sexual cravings that cost her the home and family she’d always dreamed of. When she meets Jimmy Doyle Walker, the sexy first baseman for the Washington Diplomats, at a church revival meeting, he challenges her beliefs and her expectations. Determinedly, he seduces her through erotic letters, sensual gifts, and sexual play, until she dares dream she can have satisfaction and respectability. 

Too bad her father, the preacher, seems set on ruining not only their reputations but also their lives.

Evelyn and Jimmy Doyle are sensual and electric in Roz Lee’s, Suspended Game.

Ms. Lee’s BDSM-driven story brought need and desire to the forefront of an era when propriety was the norm and women subdued.

Ms. Lee’s portrayal of Evelyn gave credence to the fact that women were repressed creatures and prisoners of their desires circa the Great Depression.

Evelyn’s transformation was beautifully written~ a caterpillar morphing into a beautiful butterfly, expanding her wings and taking flight.

The inception of BDSM into a suppressed era and the conception of the terminology and subtle nuances were paramount to the story and the level of trust Evelyn felt wrapped in Jimmy Doyle’s arms. Jimmy Doyle was a vividly-large personality~ a man who knew his inner cravings and the type of woman he wanted. Together, the slow release of Evelyn’s inhibitions coupled with Jimmy Doyle’s patience and love, amazed and enhanced the story.

Roz Lee has made it to the top of my BDSM must read list. An erotic tale with captivating characterizations.
