Between My Thighs: An Urban Erotic Tale
Her love was to die for, but her man wouldn't abide... When thirty-year-old Raquel Howard graduated from college back in 1999 with her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, she promised herself that the next man that ventured between her thighs would be equivalent to her tight ass credentials. Tired of sexing brothers who had no business between her thighs, going out of her way to please her man, Raquel thought she'd never find a love of her own. Vibrant and secure in her sexuality, one man couldn't satisfy her sexual crave - until she met Troy Thomas, owner of a multi-million dollar corporation and ex-lover of her girlfriend Dallas Jones. Troy, a smooth-operator and established businessman was exactly what Raquel needed to tame the insatiable desire to constantly have a piece of good-loving inside her, but when love, lust, and lies collide, violence sparks and a triangle of secrets are revealed. Naija delivers a climatic, mysterious, and page-turning spinner in this true erotic tale.

Anticipation
"Between My Thighs," an urban erotic tale, centers around the life of one Raquel Howard. Raquel is a well respected psychologist with a thriving business. Her personal life, on the other hand, isn't doing as well. Aren't the ones giving advice sometimes the ones that need it the most? With an insatiable sex drive, Raquel is borderline nympho. Lack of a father and the tragic murder of her brother haunt her daily. From the outside, Raquel seems to have it all together, but inside is another story. A trip to New York to visit an old college buddy leads to a mysterious new man, murder and chaos.
It wasn't a bad book, but I can't say it was good either. It's somewhere in between. Loved the title. Loved the cover. Like the synopsis, I was ready for Raquel's journey to rock my world. Unfortunately, it did not. It's an interesting tale, peppered with hot, detailed, sex scenes. Indeed, author Naija has a gift for words, but the story itself was lacking. I didn't know where she was going and side thoughts and other characters side-tracked the story (i.e. alluded psychic powers). Ultimately, it never really balanced out.
Again, I believe Naija is talented, but she needs to focus the writing and bare down on the story itself. The urban erotica genre is wide open for the taking and I'd like to see Naija step up her game and bring it home with a win in her next novel. Not the greatest debut, but I won't count her out. I'd like to see where her imagination takes us next.
