This Time
"Once you lock yourself onto him, he put his palms on your behind and swinging it, asks you to rock the boat slowly.
You liked to be told what to do in bed, but after a while, you shut him up with a kiss and like the untamed sea, crashed into him roughly."

'This Time' by R. Joly is a book that depicts the pulse of love we never want to diminish; the pulse we intend to keep going with its warmth and indication of life.
The name given to the book is so apt, that 'This Time' is what our present is consisted of; 'This Time' is what one has, not the time went nor the time coming.
Anyone could relate to this erotic novel, as our lives have recurring moments of realization that nothing is permanent and everything needed to be changed. The excitement of forming habits with the person you love will be strong as much as the pain you feel when you realize in the very next moment, it is nothing but a mere memory. But memories and promises are what we live for; and what actually we have is this now, This Time in our palm of the hand.
The only characters in this book are Reyan and Sheetal and they fall into a relationship that they don’t want to name. They believe a name tag would adult the purity of what they have. They celebrate their brief time together with good food, extreme passion, and love for each other.
And in the end, they separate in a blink of time with the unspoken promises and intense memories; As what we have is 'This Time' alone.

What a co-incident it has been reading two books from the erotica genre back to back where I don’t even remember when I read a book from this genre in last few years! The last book that I read was more from boy’s perspective and how nasty boys are when it comes to having sex with girls. The book that I have completed now is written by a girl from girl’s voice which makes this a totally different reading experience. This is what reading gives you- multiple experiences, approach, thought processes being just that one simple person that you are. The 58th book that I have completed reading this year is “This Time” written by Reshma Joly which is also her 2nd book. This is probably the last book I have read this year. Now it’s time to get out of the pages and enjoy the last few days of 2018 enjoying and celebrating.
The book is written in such a poetic sound that never ever did I feel that I am reading a book which has conversations, scenes, story involved. What a wonderful way of putting one’s story of relationship with another person which has intense romance and union of bodies involved. The best part of the book is the way authoress has kept the chapters short still being able to describe whatever she wanted and making you feel the same emotions and feelings that she needed to convey. Amazing!
Another incredible part of this book is that it involves only two characters and there is not even a mention of any third person. Can you believe this? I can still not believe it. These 123 pages are an experience to read which shall take you in the world of intimacy and love which shall take you in a different world altogether where you would want to meet your partner or if you have broken up, get back to your partner, or if you are still not committed ever, will make you die to get into a relationship. This is how beautiful the love making scenes and conversations between the characters are narrated.
Authoress is quite nervous in the beginning of the book where in her note she says that the book is a huge risk as she is writing about sex. And I had assumed this book to be raunchy involving dirty talks and sex scenes but surprisingly, I ended up reading a book which was not about sex but the way two people get together with doubts if it’s love or infatuation and then get into physical intimacy and how they level up their physical intensity with days is what this book discusses and makes you think a lot about yourself, your choices and your love relationship. I am scared to say that I found the reading experience of this book quite meditative and felt that it got over quite sooner in just 123 pages and should have continued for same number of pages more. Kudos to the authoress for revealing her heart so beautifully without getting vulgar and indecent and portraying sex so generously. I give this book 4.25* out of 5.
Thanks.
