Purple Panties

Doesn't matter what the color, all undergarments come off just as easily in PURPLE PANTIES, the newest book from renowned erotica writer Zane, author of best-selling books Addicted and Chocolate Flava. This time, she focuses her view strictly on the ladies in this anthology of 26 lesbian tales of passion.

One of the highlights of Purple Panties is women discovering the delights of the female sex for the first time. This is portrayed in stories such as "The Finest Man," wherein a feminine security guard is tantalized by the masculine individual at her workplace, even after realizing he's really a she. Syreeta then ponders what her attraction to the stud says about herself, because she's ready to give it up - no matter what the gender.

As expected, Purple Panties has the no-holds barred escapades that blaze with undeniable chemistry. That's provided courtesy of "The Purple Panty Revue," as Jay meets the faceless neighbor that's haunted her fantasies for the past few weeks; the surprise is where they finally encounter one another - and what happens next.

Purple Panties proves more than provocative, worthy of getting your underwear damp. The only objection is that some stories seem to stop abruptly, and I was left wanting more. Yet I love the fact Zane is bringing lesbian literature to a mainstream black audience; in fact, she's planning to publish a sequel to Panties early next year. And I, for one, will be happily waiting - because Zane always knows how to put it down.
