Not for the Faint of Heart (An introduction by Lisabet Sarai)
I don’t like “reader’s advisories”, especially when they detail every sexual activity included in a novel. Erotica is not about sex acts, but about desire and its fulfillment.
On the other hand, I don’t want to offend any readers who pick up my new release Incognito without a clear understanding that it contains taboo content.
I’m willing to admit, some people might be shocked by this book. Both Miranda and Mark are polymorphously perverse characters, attracted to both their own and the opposite sex. They’re natural switches, drawn to roles on both sides of the BDSM power equation. The book includes pretty much every variety of sexual encounter, from incest fantasies to age play to cross-dressing. I’m sure that some readers would dismiss the book as nothing but gratuitous sex.
That’s not how I see it, though. Incognito is, first and foremost, the story of one woman’s journey to realize and express her sexuality. Miranda’s heart-crushing initiation into sex leaves her emotionally scarred, unable to reconcile the experiences of love and lust. She’s ultimately healed by her relationship with Mark, a man who’s open and accepting of all her desires – even the most extreme.
Shy and serious by day—insatiable by night.
During the day, Miranda Cahill works diligently on her doctoral thesis. At night, she has sex with strangers.
Public coupling, multiple
partners, age play, spankings, bondage, lesbian lust—each salacious adventure
exposes new dimensions of her depravity. Her secret life explodes when she
realizes her masked partner at a kink club and the charismatic colleague
courting her are in fact the same man.
Dickens scholar Mark Anderson
seems like an affable, uncomplicated Midwesterner, but he has hidden depths,
myriad talents, and an unlimited appetite for erotic variety. With Mark as her
guide, Miranda comes to accept the
intricacy of her own desires, as well as to trust her heart.
Reader Advisory: This novel is an erotic romance
featuring a committed relationship and culminating in a wedding.
Nevertheless, the main characters participate in a wide range of taboo sexual
activities, both together and separately.
Review Quotes
“…brings a fabulous level of intensity and sensuality to the reader.” ~ Dawnie, Fallen Angels Reviews (5 Angels)
“Sarai skillfully combines the present day storyline with some tantalizing Victorian history. This book is well researched, erudite, well plotted and very sexy. Highly recommended.” ~ Emma K., Amazon (5 stars)
"Truly a buffet of pleasures, with something for everyone. There's
the enjoyment of piecing together the mirroring, multi-layered narratives.
Historical and literary echoes provide extra spice for the careful reader—in
particular Shakespeare fans might enjoy the parallels to Miranda in The
Tempest—all sweetened with abundant humor and clever feminist twists. Always
you'll find masterful prose in sizzling erotic scenes that offer flavors to
please any palate. And last but not least, the novel will change your view of
the world in surprising ways."
Donna George Story, Erotica Readers and Writers Association.
