Customer Reviews

Good Book

This book had so many different elements to it. I really liked All of Me and How I became a Writer. In these stories the women gained strength through there success. Nadines Husband, Responding to her Touch, and Deecy and Pheo were great stories of forbidden love. I enjoyed Hail Mary full of Grace; however, I found it somewhat disturbing.I could no put this book down. The stories are erotic, touching, and disturbing. It is a must read.

Deep and Hot

Wow. I was blown away by the beautiful sexy writing in the book. I loved all of the stories in the book, but especially the ones near the end: "Never Say Never," White Girl Blues," and "How I Became a Writer," and even "Responding to Her Touch," which all involve interracial sex. This is a brave and "deep" book, not just sexy. I'm not kiding when I say that some of these stories could be taught at college. This is not a pornographic book. Just sexy and profound, but very, very sexy. I am looking forward to reading more stories from all of these writers: Allen, PATRick, TERvalon, Giffith, DaWEs, Blackman, Fleming, Sapphire for how deep they are.

Flame Thrower

This book throws caution to the wind. It is very hot. My favorite stories are "Drag," "Hail Mary Full of Grace," "Nadine's Husband," "Deecy and Pheo," and believe it or not you have got to read the introduction by the editor which kind of surprises you it is so sexy. I think the introduction is a story too, or it may be real. Anyway it is very good, sexy writing, just like the rest of the book.

This book is HOT HOT HOT!

If you only read one book this year, this is the one for you! Not for the faint of heart, Brown Sugar reveals the steaming passion of black desire, sex, lust and love that COMES correct!

Brown Sugar: A Collection of Erotic Black Fiction

A good book that has been a long time coming. What a stroke of smarts Carol Taylor had when she decided to include some younger, need-to-be-read writers. Here's an opportunity to read the best of the new. The story, Nadine's Husband is worth the price alone. Inclusion of that story's author, Preston Allen, gives the collection real credibility as serious work.
