Product Description

Zane, the New York Times bestselling author and Queen of
Erotic Fiction, brings a new collection of lesbian erotica
that will blow the sheets off beds everywhere.

What happens when "The Finest Man" you have ever laid eyes on is a woman? What happens when a woman comes home to her man after a hard day's work with "Lipstick on Her Collar?" What happens when a married woman runs across the love of her life -- another woman -- who insists that "It's All or Nothing?" Is there such a thing as playing too "Hard to Get?" What happens when "Mom's Night Out" turns into group sex? What happens when you discover your true sexuality "At Last?" All of these questions and more are answered within the pages of Purple Panties.

Written by women from all over the world, here is a new level of lesbian erotica, compiled by Zane, that promises the most exciting and steamy reading experience possible. These stories move beyond race, age, and all walks of life, including long-hidden passions, secret rendezvous with strangers, and May-December romances.

With Zane's ever-growing popularity, and the need for increasingly quality erotica, Purple Panties will satisfy a long-standing demand for African-American lesbian literature.

In the tradition of such successful erotica anthologies as Chocolate Flava and Caramel Flava, Purple Panties uncovers a new world of evocative risk-taking that has never been explored before from a lesbian perspective. The adventures in these stories are beyond everyone's wildest imaginations.

5 out of 5 stars Briefed in purple is not all bad!   April 25, 2008
 26 out of 35 found this review helpful

There are all types of scenarios that depict sexual preference nowadays as the freedom of expression has extended to the bedroom, and everywhere else to display such liberations between women making love. The release of yet another anthology of lesbian love does nothing to hide the fact that stories of this nature are being produced to satisfy both a growing genre and a lifestyle that is prevalent in our society. Best-selling author and literary guru, ZANE has a new compilation worthy of her reputation - Purple Panties. There's no other color that readily whets my appetite than the color purple. Coupled with the catchy cover photography, by-passing this book will be hard to do! For the most part, the stories are provocative and tend to leave no holds barred, which has always been the mantra that the editor has exhibited in her own writings. Nevertheless,options relative for inclusion run the gamut from tepid to sizzling hot in this set.

Reading the stories I couldn't help feeling like a privileged spectator looking through the windows of a world created especially for me! Ask me would any man find something that would change his view of uninhibited love and reckless abandon with license for liberal pleasure, and I'm sure there would be vociferous views for more. Each story had points of contention for the individual author's penchant for quality and means to elicit excitement. I have my favorites - namely PLEASURES by Elissa Gabrielle; Allison Hobbs' THE PRIVATE ROOM; and JACQUIE by Jolie du Pre. You will undoubtedly recognize a few authors here that are no strangers to erotica, but with typical anthologies you will also find some stories better written than others. There's a good mix that doesn't take away from any perceived negative for the most part.

Turn the tables, close your eyes, and do away with the stereotypical notion that usually permeate your mind about sex and who's administering it, and you won't be disappointed in how page-turning delight can REALLY excite. There's no room for player-hating. Interestingly enough, I didn't read this book verbatim...I derived pleasure by randomly reading when I needed something to drive my senses to another level after dealing with a long day at the office. All I had to do was envision purple panties dancing though my sensibilities to color my world! Add this book to your collection of erotica. Anything with ZANE'S input is a winner!

I literally devoured the book in two steamy sessions,I could have done it in one, but I felt the uncontrollable need to satisfy my desires. I awaited the arrival this book with hot and eager anticipation and I wasn't dissapointed. It was absolutely mind blowing stuff. Everyone, lesbian or straight, male or female will absolutely love this, it is without doubt the best of its genre that I have read and almost as soon as I had finished I needed to tell the world about it. I have always loved Zane's stuff and can recommend Succulent: Chocolate Flava II and in a different style, but equally hot and sexy 100 Percent Erotica. Brilliant stuff, take it to bed with you and read it to your partner and forget the problems of the world.

PURPLE PANTIES is a compilation of erotic lesbian short stories comprised by a diverse group of authors. The stories vary in writing styles, but the emphasis being on the sensuality of females who know how to please other females.

This anthology has 26 stories, including one by Zane. In the preface, Zane is clear to state this is a book of "hot" stories and it doesn't matter that it is lesbian erotica, sensuality is sexy no matter whom one chooses as a mate. The stories ranged from random sexual encounters, to those women realizing, for the first time, what was missing from their previous relationships. Some of the stories contained literary prose as other went for the more contemporary vibe to create scenes of pleasure for the women. A few stories were quite different, including Sydney Molare's "Uma" about a young woman whose husband found a nursemaid for their son because the woman was unable to breastfeed. The young mother found watching the child feed arousing. Or the exhibitionist take in Joy Bringas' "Miss Julidene's Sexy Items." There was also the story of a young African female whose sexuality was not the only secret she held.

If you are a lover of erotica, you will find several of the stories in this anthology sensual, captivating and alluring. However, PURPLE PANTIES should be read with openness so one can discern the diverse nature of the writing by each of the authors. Some of the authors were able to write a complete story with all one's emotional senses mesmerized. Some well known erotica authors are included in this collection with a second edition soon to come. Not all the stories will have the reader's rapt attention, but most are well-written and deliver the right about of sensuality without being unpleasant.

Zane does it again, a red hot collection of erotica.What an aphrodisiac this book is, it would spice up anyone's sex life, and if it's spicy already, then wow. My husband read it and it turned him into a rampant bull elk. Although the stories are of a lesbian nature, everyone, gay or straigght will love this book. What more can I say but brilliant, brilliant brilliant. Another red hot collection of erotica is the brilliant 100 Percent Erotica and She's on Top: Erotic Stories of Female Dominance and Male Submissioncheck them out.

 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

Doesn't matter what the color, all undergarments come off just as easily in PURPLE PANTIES, the newest book from renowned erotica writer Zane, author of best-selling books Addicted and Chocolate Flava. This time, she focuses her view strictly on the ladies in this anthology of 26 lesbian tales of passion.

One of the highlights of Purple Panties is women discovering the delights of the female sex for the first time. This is portrayed in stories such as "The Finest Man," wherein a feminine security guard is tantalized by the masculine individual at her workplace, even after realizing he's really a she. Syreeta then ponders what her attraction to the stud says about herself, because she's ready to give it up - no matter what the gender.

As expected, Purple Panties has the no-holds barred escapades that blaze with undeniable chemistry. That's provided courtesy of "The Purple Panty Revue," as Jay meets the faceless neighbor that's haunted her fantasies for the past few weeks; the surprise is where they finally encounter one another - and what happens next.

Purple Panties proves more than provocative, worthy of getting your underwear damp. The only objection is that some stories seem to stop abruptly, and I was left wanting more. Yet I love the fact Zane is bringing lesbian literature to a mainstream black audience; in fact, she's planning to publish a sequel to Panties early next year.

And I, for one, will be happily waiting - because Zane always knows how to put it down.
