Thank you for your detailed and honest review. I think I will definitely like this book. It has everything I need in a book, Humour, love, soul-searching, realistic characters and, female friendship. Congratulations to the author. but, I would have preferred the first-person point of view.

Great review! Even though I 'm not into the genre, I think your review makes the book quite appealing. I can appreciate you being honest and unbiased, even though, as you said yourself, it's not your kind of a book. I only read a couple of pages, but I was put off by: "Eva’s boyfriend had been a waste of space from almost the moment they had met. But, as Eva put it, when the alternative to a shared bed is cake, Netflix and a dildo, you take what you can get." It just didn't seem like strong women knowing their worth and not losing their time with men who not only aren't deserving but also don't even make them happy. I take from your review that that changes along the plot. Thanks for a well-supported and honest review!

L.H. Robert's The Red Light is hilarious. Even though it is intended to remind you how lovesome and feeble love can be sometimes, it is a romantic comedy brewing. Eva brainstorms while everyone is a screenshot of questions, jeers, and pretention. I wanted to believe over and over that someone would become the villain or the mouse would get the cheese. But it's more than that, it's art and its theatre. I really liked moving my serious side and becoming wrapped in a triangle of intimacy slightly over an English Cheri. L.H. Roberts shows brilliance and creative expression. I give him 4 out of 4 stars.

This one may not be for me. I do like romance but not so much the erotica part. I like suspense. I think the reviewer gave a good review. I would still give it a try.

The dose of humor would be an added bonus. It would also be interesting to read about cities like Amsterdam and London. I will definitely have this book added to the top of my to be read list.

I love that this isn't overly sexual or smutty. I think I will check this out since I like books that show close relationships between women.

Nice! I was hesitant at first, as the characters seemed shallow when I started reading the sample, but the dynamic between Sabrina and Eva reeled me in. This seems like a fun and sexually empowering book. The dialogue so far is very fun and occasionally funny. While I don't typically read this genre, I think I'll check this one out! I'm a sucker for Thelma and Louise friendships.

I've never read this genre but your review makes me think twice about it. I'll have to keep this one in mind.

Love a girl power/erotic novel written by a woman! I’m definitely looking forward to hear about their travels in Amsterdam and glad that there is real substance

Thank you for sharing this fantastic review with us; descriptive, but without spoilers. I only read the amazon sample and I thought the author did a great job at letting you know what you are in for right off the bat. The characters feel familiar in their thoughts and actions of young single women looking for a little adventure and excitement in their lives.

I am not a fan of erotica novels. However, the story is overall interesting and intriguing. Great review.

It's appealing to become more familiar with Amsterdam habits and the city's structure. The friendship between two independent women, the erotica elements, the sense of humour and some realistic aspects of their course, sounds tempting. Thank you for your seductive review!

Your review about this book makes me want to read this though I am not a fan of erotic novels. Glad that the characters are well-developed and that the females are interesting and empowered as you said they are. Might as well check this out. Thanks for the review!
