I've been to Amsterdam once, but it was ages ago. Getting to know the city again, and perhaps even better than when I visited, has its appeal. I can't say that I was thrilled with the sample on Amazon, but I might be willing to at least give the book a chance. Thanks for the wonderfully detailed review. It did answer some of the questions about the book that were whirling around in my brain!

I like that this site has featured a female author in a genre that typically pigeonholes female and male characters. I also like that this book is not just erotica, but rather a romantic and comedic book which explores the human condition. I am not a reader of this genre, but this book might change my mind. I can easily imagine all of the bikes in Amsterdam and the beautiful architecture of the city.

Thanks for the thoughtful review of this book! I like that this book is more than just about romance and that it has some thrills and humor in it. It sounds pretty well rounded and has piqued my interest. These two female characters sound like they have certain expectations in mind and are moving towards them. I'm looking forward to reading this book.

Erotic romance is meant to drive desires otherwise is meant for people in love or passionate about their partner. This book sounds to be to that kind of story. Women in the workplace in a temporal location looking to fulfill their sexual fantasies. This reviewer word lets the reader know to expect some steam coming from this one. Will their friendship withstand the unexpected? These ladies seem to having a wonderful humorous good time with a bit of exploration. The way to find out is to read the book. I like the title and the review.

:techie-studyinggray: I absolutely love Erotica novels and regular romance novels. This sounds like a wonderful book if you gave it 4 stars and you don't typically like the genre. I can't wait to get paid and buy the book. Next read here I come. :techie-studyinggray:

I really enjoyed reading your review. You write well and your tone is engaging. This book sounds rich and full of excitement, armchair travel, romance and erotica. What a nice combination. And the friendship between the women sounds rich as well. A great review that definitely entices the reader. Thanks.

The review tells me it is more than an erotic romance. It is mixed with humour, wit and lessons. This is new since most of the stories of this genre delve with dark passion, graphic sex and drama. A welcome change! Congrats!

I just finished the sample provided and the official review of this book. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of this genre. This book did seem well written and according to the official reviewer, it was well planned and enjoyable.
I liked the idea that it gave the readers a sort of guide to Amsterdam.

I'm intrigued by your review. This book must be really good to get such a great review on it from a person who is wary of reading erotica. Also, the humor in this fiction makes me really want to read it even if I'm not sure whether I'll like the mature contents. So, thanks for the lovely review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting erotic/romance novel that goes into two women's adventure to experience their sexual fantasies. For those interested in erotic fiction, it is worth a second look. Well done.

Hopefully, Sabrina and Eva are able to find love with one another as they go on a discovery of who they truly are. It's good to know the author does a nice job in weaving in other genres and not just making this solely an erotic novel. It's interesting that humor is woven in. I do hope that Sabrina and Eva are able to find love again! It's good to know that the two female characters are well-rounded and relatable; this is definitely important to me in any book. Also, it's great to know that the writing was smooth and that the book was well-edited. I'm not a big fan of erotic scenes, but it's good to know that you found them to be organic in this story. Too bad about there wasn't a balance of the two women's encounters. This isn't for me, but I'm glad you were able to enjoy the story. Thank you for sharing!

Eva Barber and Sabrina Taylor embarked on a set of daring sexual experiences, challenges, and fantasies which took place during the ladies’ three-month temporary work placement in Amsterdam. Wow! I really liked this review. I guess I give the book a try. Great review

I'm not generally lured in by erotica either but your review really brought this book to life. I think any genre if written with intelligence, poise and style can be engaging and relevant. A fantastic review that I really enjoyed reading.

The Amsterdam setting with good descriptions of the city, scenery, and people sounds interesting. However, the two friends Eva and Sabrina seem to be on a dangerous track if they get involved with the sex underworld.

I think that author gives justice to erotic gender by having such empowered women as main characters of her book. But in some point your description makes me think it's a kind of european Sex at the city. I congrats you for being #BOTD but this time I pass.
