An erotic short story.Lonely, misanthropic Ange has given up on meeting anyone special, until she meets the beautiful and enigmatic Kate at her cousin's hen's party, and the two get to know each other a little better in the women's bathroom.Lipstick was orginally published in Tristan Taormino's Best Lesbian Erotica 2001.
Ange is invited out to a hen night. Or to Ellen's hen night. Dinner and 'raging'. Hens. Fight club. What have I gotten myself into?
Apparently antisocial Ange, while feeling mildly 'enthusiastic', once the party date actually rolled around, decided to dress down. Which meant making sure she was wearing clean clothing. And wearing her 'signature lipstick, a bright scarlet red called Splendour.'
During the dinner portion of the evening, Ange meets a woman named 'Kate' who looks as out of place as Ange feels at the hen party. They strike up a conversation and stuff. Stuff includes a little rubbing of foot against legs under the dinner table. And might also include a bit of thrusting hands under other women's skirts (less horrifying that I just put it). All of this taking place in a fancy restaurant, mind.
Nice little 'romance'. Curious what something longer by this author might be like.
Oh, and, I'll just off-hand note - quite exciting this story was.
Right, that's enough of that.

* high likelihood I'm overrating here, maybe, probably. Especially since it currently has an overall rating of 3.03 off of 120 ratings.
Ange goes to her sister's bachelorette party expecting to be bored, being the only Lesbian there. Little does she know that there is a hidden flirtation awaiting. She gets seated near Kate, an engamic woman who captures Ange's interest throughout the night. Until she can drag her into the ladies Room, for a private talk. Then get her number for later. What ensues in that Ladies Room? Are you brave enough to find out?
I was surprised by the plot of this book because you'd think it would make sense but it doesn't! There's a bit about lipstick and its meant to be sexy but really its just messy and I didn't think it was as good as if she had marked the girl through pee. Then you really know what's what yknow?
3.5 stars A decent quick read had some good description of erotica and good erotica scenes however the book needed a bit more editing. Pros Good short erotica with some good erotic scenes and description. Good character build and scenes. Cons The pages seemed cropped a bit so I think the whole book needed editing.
This is more like 3.5 but it's not good enough for 4 stars. It was a good little quick read that ticked all the boxes. it was a good f/f read but not great. If you want a 5 minute filler to leave you feeling good then read this one.
