Enchanted: Erotic Bedtime Stories For Women

In this enchanting collection of fairy tales Nancy Madore captures the fantasies of women to perfection. The tales are graphic without graphic language. The storytelling is enthralling. All the stories were noteworthy, but a few stood out for me. The tale of BLUEBEARD was brilliantly reconstructed from a murderous monster who kept dead bodies in a secret room to a sexy husband who happens to have a secret room filled with instruments of delightful bondage. (I found it ironic that the "adult" version had less violence than the children's) This is one example of the very clever use Madore makes of the classic story plots in fairy tales. Madore does much examination into relationships too, like in CAT AND MOUSE, where she details the conflict that exists in relationships so sensually it will take your breath away. Without missing a beat or losing the mood, Madore validates a woman's innermost feelings in such stories as MIRROR ON THE WALL and THE UGLY DUCKLING. It was very liberating to read erotic stories that are written with such sensitivity. This is one you will definitely want to share with your husband or boyfriend.

Let me first say that I was very intrigued by the idea of reading my favorite fairy tales with a naughty twist. This book, however, was a bit of a disappointment. I applaud Ms. Madore for incorporating various fantasies throughout her book (to appeal to different sexual tastes). But I was VERY aggravted that she used this type of literature as a place to air her opinions of society. Several stories are almost weighted down by this. One in particualr, The Goose Girl, doesn't even involve sexuality. It's more about self-esteem, pride, and being successful as a woman. WHO CARES!! I am reading EROTICA to be turned on, and occasionally to run across a really interesting character or plot line. NOT TO HEAR WHAT AN AUTHOR THINKS IS WRONG WITH SOCIETY!! NOT IN EROTICA!! Perhaps she should seek a more suitable platform from which to spew her ridiculous ideas. (my first and last Madore read!)

This book was a pleasure to read because it was very well written and didn't skimp on the erotica, either. I highly recommend it, along with Dead Sexy: Two Tales of Vampire Erotica. Both really were quite satisfying reads. Can't wait to read more from these authors.

This book was fantastic. Its very interesting and some fairy tales I have never heard of were in it as well. Maybe my husband will become more literate if I share this book with him.

These are beautifully written stories that I truly enjoyed from start to finish. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to read short stories, romance, erotica and fairy tales.
