Book Review: Tales of a Temptress by Amanda Lucinda

February 26, 2020 by arhopkins 1 Comment

Today, I take a step out of my comfort zone and review Tales of a Temptress, a book of erotic poetry and prose by Amanda Lucinda.

Let me make it completely clear that I am not normally a reader of either erotica or poetry, so I definitely advise you to take this review with a grain of salt.

Tales of a Temptress is a very quick, very vulgar read, and a bit chaotic as collections go; some of the poems within are only a few lines long while others are several pages. I don´t think this is a bad thing. In fact, it fits quite well with the overall vibe.

While the cliches I expected to find on my first foray into erotica did make an appearance here and there (hey there, fishnets, heels, and neckties), I also found much more.

With themes of fear, jealousy, abandonment, and gender inequality, Tales of a Temptress is more than just sex. It screams female empowerment and bubbles over with rage in places. My favorite of the entire collection would have to the following line from ¨catcall¨, in response to being told to smile by a man:

¨I´m not here as your jester

Or your ray of sunshine

My emotions are solely mine¨

It´s hard to argue with that.

4/5 would recommend to those who enjoy some thought with their graphic sex scenes.

"Wishing to be friends is quick work, but #friends "Wishing to be friends is quick work, but #friendship is a slow-ripening fruit." -#Aristotle

These two didn't start out like this. There were many, many adjustments, boundaries tested, snaps, and perceived threats. A week in, I thought we'd made a huge mistake adding a second dog.

A little over a year later, they are inseparable. Trust is implicit. They have learned more from eachother than we could ever have taught either one of them. 

Humans are no different. If you wish to develop a genuine friendship with someone, reach out. It takes time; there's no way around it, and none of us know when we might run out.

When I turned 30 I decided my #30s would be dedica When I turned 30 I decided my #30s would be dedicated to rediscovering my #authenticself. Sometimes that means embracing my #creativity through writing #fiction or making #art. 

Other times it means accepting my tendency toward unconventional beliefs that don't align with any existing system. Yet other times, it's surface level things like starting to recover my natural #curls using the #curlygirlmethod

I don't think it's a coincidence that I lost my curls when I became a parent; that's when I lost my identity, too. Bringing it back, one choice at a time.

Little known fact about me: from my early childhoo Little known fact about me: from my early childhood until my early 20s, I was terrified of #dogs. This was only fueled by my love of #stephenking and the tv-movie version of #cujo, which I've seen more times than I can count.

It only makes sense that I would wait until I'd been fully converted to a dog owner and lover to finally start reading the book. The process of the dog going mad and mauling his beloved owners and friends from his own perspective is heart-wrenching, horrifying, and fucking genius.

Last week, I took a free 5-day course on outlining Last week, I took a free 5-day course on outlining your novel. The homework assignment before beginning was to figure out the genre of your novel and find the best selling comps on Amazon.

Currently at #9 in psychic thrillers is Little Bones by NV Peacock. This week, I will read it but also study it to make my own writing better.

As our lord and savior #stephenking once said, "If you don't have time to #read, you don't have the time or the tools to #write."

All my life, I've felt the tug to create. While I' All my life, I've felt the tug to create. While I've always wanted to make #art, I've never been able to develop the skill required for drawing or traditional #painting. I love color coordination and #creativity, but I could never be an #artist.

With immense effort, I've produced a couple of nearly mediocre (at best) drawings in my adult life and the experience was not at all fun or relaxing. Trying to get the image in my mind to translate to the page was incredibly frustrating.

When I stumbled upon @mixmediagirl and #acrylicpouring I knew it was exactly what I've always been looking for. After weeks of watching videos and slowly buying supplies, I made myself an art space and finally did my first pours. I absolutely love them and can't wait to make more! 😍
