It's
almost like watching two years of my life fly by when I look at the contents of
this book. These are eight of my very best delicious, salacious, dirty, very
graphic tales of sexual mayhem. I am very proud to offer this 269 page
blockbuster on Amazon.com, produced and edited by Lush Publishing, with cover
art by 2010 erotic artist of the year, acclaimed photographer, John Tisbury.
Playing Dirty: A Collection of Hardcore Erotica by Ashleigh Lake
All’s
fair in love and lust. These eight short stories tell the tale of the modern
girl’s desire to take a trip down the sexual rabbit hole at any cost.
Reluctance, illicit trysts, revenge sex, alpha rogues, good girls gone bad,
anal, rough sex and explicitly dirty encounters are just some of the twists and
turns in this collection of hardcore erotica where nothing is as it seems and
playing dirty can get you what you want.
College girl, Jenna, gets more than
she bargained for when she asks her boyfriend to spice up their sex life. Erica
seeks the ultimate revenge on her cheating boyfriend, starting at the stroke of
midnight on New Year’s Eve. A flirtatious online relationship turns into a
dirty bet that Ashleigh is bound to lose when she meets a sexy stranger while
on vacation with her boyfriend. Megan and Shane's relationship takes an intense
turn on the dance floor when they revisit their old party scene and meet two
kinky strangers in the VIP room. The lines of loyalty, friendship and lust are
blurred in a tale of two best girlfriends gone astray on the night before
Alexa’s wedding to an irresistible bad boy.
Erotica author, Aidan Black,
develops an online stalker with twisted intentions and a desire to push him
past the brink of his own sexual limits. A slutty blonde bride indulges her
wild side on the night of her bachelorette party and will do anything to avoid
getting caught. And one night as an escort leads Alison into a spiral of sexual
depravity that awakens her darkest fantasies.
These stories tap into the dirty
girl’s sexual psyche and explore the temptation of taking control while
ultimately losing control, and where playing dirty is always fair game.
Now,
this is A LOT of book. Each story is told in a mini-novelette format.
There are very graphic sex scenes, and I make no apologies. When I say I
write Erotica, think explicit, not purple prose or whimsical romance. I want my
writing to speak to the modern 'sexual adventurist'...
Some guys that have read my
work and weren't familiar with erotica have told me they were surprised how
dirty the stories were and how easily I got right into the meat of it. I take this to mean that
the word 'Erotica' often conjures images of women reading Fabio-esque bodice
rippers with vanilla scented candles lit on the nightstand. Or the more modern
version being a Mary-Sue love story, similar to the Twilight saga, with
overwrought love scenes and swooning and "he touched me down there"
confessionals. My writing doesn't fit any of those molds, which is why I like
to call it 'modern erotica' for the modern sexual enthusiast.
Think Sex in the City,
Entourage and Californication combined with your favourite porn flicks, all
merged into one piece of entertainment... with one catch - you've gotta read it instead
of watching it.
Why
Kindle?
Erotica
is the #1 most downloaded genre right now on Amazon.com. One reason for this is
that people are often a little shy about walking into a bookstore and going
into the "dirty story" section and picking out a book and paying for
it as a guilty read. It's far easier to download it at your fingertips. As well, you
can read it anywhere without worrying about porn pop-ups on your computer, or
your wife or husband hanging over your shoulder or checking your computer
history files. You can get your fix and read it out in the open - on the train
to work, in an airport, at work when your boss isn't looking - you get the
picture! If you appreciate your privacy, kindle is the way to go.
The
Stories in "Playing Dirty"
You
will find a combination of content in this book. Some of these stories are
award winners and have appeared online. Some of the stories you will never find
anywhere else. Having enjoyed a lot of success under my alias of Dancing Doll,
I have decided to officially turn to formal publishing going forward. I've had
my writing plagiarized on multiple occasions and other writers who have suffered this fate
know how disheartening and stressful it can be. My goal is to continue offering my fans high
quality caliber tales - both as short pieces as well as finishing some of my
more popular series like The Bitches in the Basement and the Sex Rehab Diaries, and
to offer these in Kindle and/or print format on Amazon. Your little
Doll is growing up! Please continue supporting her along the way.
I am indebted to my fan base for keeping the spark alive with my writing and inspiring me to keep chasing a dream I had long ago. I wanted to thank you for joining me and supporting me on this adventure. It's been a wild ride so far!
Of
course, I would be remiss to not show you exactly what you were getting in my
first full-length novel collection of stand-alone short stories. So as a
quick teaser, take a look and whet your appetite for what's inside:
As always, I love hearing from fans, enthusiasts and getting feedback, so please don't hesitate to send me a note and say 'hi'! Follow me on Twitter @AshleighLake and add me on Facebook www.facebook.com/ashleigh.lake.16 to find out more about me. I'm also on LinkedIn.
Oh, and please don't forget to check out my new book, Playing Dirty! Your summer is about to get a whole lot steamier!
With love,
Ashleigh Lake XO
