Erotica and Noire

June 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

At Ballantine’s One World imprint, the biggest erotica author, says Guy, is “far and away Noire,” whose 2005 debut novel, G-Spot, continues to backlist strongly. Coming next month is a story collection, From the Streets to the Sheets: Urban Erotic Quickies ,which will be followed next spring by Hittin’ the Bricks, based on a screenplay by Noire. Noire’s popularity, says Guy, “stems from the fact that she combined two genres in a way that no one else had—street lit and erotica—and appealed to fans of both genres.” She also, Guy adds, has a team of fans across the country that helps to promote her books, and she has a significant online presence.

TWO WRONGS DON’T MAKE A RIGHT by Brenda Hampton (Urban Books)

June 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

Plot Overview (from the back of the book)

Living under the same roof as man and wife is pure hell for Isaac and Cydney Conley. Isaac, a dirty cop and his grimey partner, Miguel, take on the streets of Saint Louis by extreme force stealing money from local dealers and fulfilling their manly needs with “ghetto girls.”

Cydney isn’t blind to husband blind to her husband’s adulteress ways but has skeletons of her own that need to stay buried. Living by the motto “Whatever you do, I can do better” almost brings her game to an end when she decides vengeance is best served sweet when she sleeps with Miguel.

Secretly conspiring to bring Isaac down shows Miguel’s playa-hating ways, when Cydney decides to give her marriage another try, and he’s not about to let that happen by no means. Personal gratification at his partner’s expense can be deadly as toxicity brews over when Isaac and Cydney fall into his scheme of events. The final outcome will be determined when they remember what is really important.
