A Bloom in Cursive is deep, secret pleasure with all the thoughts that scratch and scar the surface. Ten stories of literary erotica bring together unique characters in unlikely places. Lora has never been in an adult book store. Elsie craves revenge. Carolyn wants to be seen for who she is on the inside. Victoria takes a chance to spice up history. Liesl needs to make some new memories. From a rundown Chinese joint to a flower shop, from a nature museum to a hardware store, the scenarios in this collection are what happen when everything you want blossoms into life.
I received a copy of this book through First Reads.
1st thing I want to say I had a hard time rating this book. This is not full of happy love stories but more thought provoking situations. The characters in the stories mostly seem to have some self esteem or physical issue which translates into there daily life and sexual encounters & what happens after. Other characters had sexual kinks that I never would have thought of. Some of the stories were real good and some made me shake my head, and reread to be sure I read it correctly the first time.
This book will not be for everyone but IMO one that is worth reading. The stories are short and easy to read one or two a day.
I enjoyed her writing style but I must admit I hadn't read the description well enough. I would say it's a collection of short stories like you may find in 50 shades of grey. I'm not a huge fan of short because I love character development. She did an excellent job of building the characters for short stories. If you enjoyed 50 shades of grey and like short stories this book is for you.
