Enchanted: Erotic Bedtime Stories For Women

With a unique and decidedly adult twist on thirteen classic fairy tales, Nancy Madore intrigues and arouses with her titillating, sizzling anthology of erotic stories guaranteed to keep you up late into the night.

You'll never look at fairy tales the same way again.

Ms. Madore expresses sensuality/sexuality without using the vulgarity or crass words that have began to plague modern day erotica. BEDTIME STORIES FOR WOMEN are told in an eloquent manner that is insatiable; they may even tempt you to want to create your own ending. Curl up with your significant other and prepare to read him a bedtime story. I must warn you that these stories are not meant to put him to sleep, but to wake him instead. I look forward to reading other erotica stories written by Ms. Madore; I'm sure I won't be disappointed by her fairytales with a twist.

It Presents Erotic Ideas, But...   December 12, 2006

Upon discovering this little known book in its previous unavailable release, I was hooked, I had to have it and was just delighted to discover they were releasing it again with a gorgeous new cover. Upon opening its pages though, I quickly realized that these are not stories one can comfortably relax with and read, but rather they are told, more like narrated, to the reader.

Certain dialogue peppered throughout makes one feel like the author is sitting right beside you, whispering these explicit tales in your ear. While I appreciate a strong voice in any author, I did not want that particular feeling while reading erotic stories. That voice is almost invasive and constantly took me out of the story and instead into the narrator's thoughts.

The potential for some phenomenal stories resides within these pages, but wasn't quite achieved in the end. It was interesting to see how some our most well-know fairy tales could be turned into adult oriented playgrounds with some underlying messages. There are some third person tales as well as first person for those that like to mix it up. For those looking strictly for erotica, these may be what you've been looking for. I would not recommend it though for readers looking for romance, which some have come to expect with erotica these days, because there is a lack of passion to the stories. All in all, it turned out to be mildly interesting, though not memorable.


DISAGREE With "I Can't Believe This"   March 3, 2005

Reading "I Can't Believe This"'s review I have to wonder why she bought the book. This is a book about sex and sexual fantasies that's why its called "bedtime" stories. There is lots of sex in the book, but I didn't see any rape or anything else to put women down. I read erotica and romance novels all the time and I can tell you that this book is really tame compared to most (I take it you never read anything by Ann Rice?). "I can't believe this" makes the book sound like vulgar porn, but actually, one of the things that impressed me about it was that it was very sexy without all the tacky inuendos and obsenities you usually find in erotica ("I can't believe this"'s "creamy thigh fantasies" did offend me). I thought Madore presented the fantasies in a very classy way. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy erotica.


I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!   October 28, 2004

I can't believe I'll be the first one here to say "No" to this book. I ordered it based on someone's recommendation when I ordered "He's Just Not That Into You", thinking it addresses true women issues by restoring their self-esteem through somehow changed old fairy tales.

Well, I was totally WRONG!!!! This book just illustrates me how the world had gone mad, like Greg Behrendt said in his book. Nancy's introduction addresses that how women nowadays confused about their sexuality. Well, sounds good, huh? Read just two stories, I wonder how these stories are supposed to help those poor confused women out there, by encouraging more wild fantasies???

What the book encourages is instant gratification, disloyalty, absolute disregard of sanctification of marriage, indulgence of sensual pleasures, rapes by strangers, rapes in turn, etc. Absolutely NO morality, NO dignity, NO willpower of self-control!!! Guess who'll respect you if you behave yourself in such way?? NO one, not even yourself!!! I admit the descriptions brings short moment sensations, but will it really satisfy you in long term? Yes, you may get the pleasure, but how long do they really last? Can you keep the man for yourself for life? When you get old, what do you live on??? Creamy thigh fantasies??

I strongly feel sorry for this poor author who's a single mom, who says she's not a feminist, trying to find her intrinsic value as a woman by herself in this confused world. If she clearly states that this is just an erotica she wrote, trying to entertain people who are not satified in their own sex lives, I probably will give it a 5 star. However, she stated otherwise, which unfotunately not supported by her writing at all.

P.S. I'm not against sensual pleasures in the right context - marriage. I'm for it.

"When you look for satisfactions everywhere, you find it nowhere." -- Elizabeth Elliot

"Your lost self-esteem definitely takes longer to find than a new boyfriend, so prioritize accordingly." -- Greg Behrendt

I do NOT recommend this book to any one! Personally I already threw it in trash can.
