Wonderful Reading

Midnight Butterfly was a reading experience of joy. You just fell into the characters lives. Not sappy or love storyish. I enjoyed the book so much I lent it to a friend who passed it on and I had to buy a 2nd copy to replace it so I could read it again and again.

Sweet book

"Midnight Butterfly" is a sweet, moving story about a girl emerging as a woman. Under the tutelage of a high class call gorl and two angels form both heaven and hell, the protagonist Ellen is taught the ways of sex, seduction, and unfolding Will. The characters are all likable, and the story is a good blend of both Ellen's fantasies and her actual experiences. These scenes are all incredibly sexy, save for the fantasies which are intentionally cliche to show Ellen's moribund existance in a small town. The no boundaries attitude of the fantasies allows Ellen to discover her boundaries in actual life. They show that sex is more than mechanical copulation. There's an "everyone's sexy" outlook that is very empowering. Sexuality connects every aspect of Ellnen's life,and helps her find her ture place in the world. The book may be a little PC for some. Lloyd insistance on safe sex in nearly every scene proves a bit distracting. Overall, though, this is a great book about a someone discovering who they really are.Recomended.

Absolutely Fabulous!

I really enjoyed this book. Well-written, three-dimensional characters, hot, steamy sex.....what else could one ask for? My wife and I have been reading passages from this book to each other for days and really enjoying it. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who wants well-written adult erotica, brimming over with plot, character and verve. Joan Elizabeth Lloyd is easily the top eroticist writing today. Definitely pick this one up!

Warm and Wonderful

As she usually does, Joan Elizabeth Lloyd writes a warm and sexy book that is far better than most of today's erotica. Her characters are alive and you can't help caring about them and their wonderful sexual adventures.

Hot Stuff

I enjoyed Midnight Butterfly as much as Ms Lloyd's other books. I love a hot story with lots of sexy stuff and her books do it for me. Good story, believable, enjoyable characters. I especially loved Maggie, the ghost of a hooker. Bravo!
