Susie Bright Presents Three the Hard Way: Erotic Novellas by William Harrison, Greg Boyd, and Tsaurah Litzky Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Pull down the shades and settle in for pleasure with this trio of erotic novellas — handpicked by Susie Bright — showcasing stories that are hot and masterful.

Susie Bright, hailed by the New York Times as "the avatar of American erotica," is the undisputed grandmaster of the genre. Now she has handpicked three rising stars — new masters — whose stories will delight, arouse, and captivate you.

Connected by a central theme — the idea that one sexual moment can change a person forever — each story is wildly different from anything you have read before.

In "Shadow of a Man," Emmy Award-winning writer William Harrison takes us to South Africa, where a photographer who thinks he's seen — and done — it all begins an intense affair with the daughter of a famous general. "The Motion of the Ocean" is Tsaurah Litzky's undaunted story about a woman's coming-of-age from her adolescence in the 1960s to the over-the-top sexuality of the 1990s. Greg Boyd's "The Widow" is about the consequences that transpire when a husband reads an erotic novel that his wife has been writing in secret. In it, she has fantasized the outrageous sexual experiences of a widow.

Sensual, provocative, funny, and profound, Three the Hard Way is a pleasure trove of great finds discovered by America's most trusted name in erotica.

Review:

"Editor Bright asks three writers to face a life-changing sexual event. Most skilled here is William Harrison....Smartly done, at times deeply felt." Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis:

Connected by a central theme — the idea that one sexual moment can change a person forever — Susie Bright has compiled a trio of wildly different stories by writers she believes are literary rising stars — not to be confused with one-note erotic writers.
