Great review. I love something hot and steamy to get my mind of real world issues. The fact that two women decide to take an erotic adventure and find more of themselves is exciting. I want to know what happens between them and the result of their trip.

Although I am not a fan of erotica, I like the fact that this book presents the city of Amsterdam in detail.

A book exploring the friendship of two women: Eva and Sabrina will be a thrilling read to me. Plus, I love Amsterdam. Your compelling review has made me want to check this out.

This is not a genre I normally read, but this does sounds like quite the mix of romance/erotica and thriller.

I'm glad you enjoyed this one so much. I could tell from the title what type of book it would be, and it's not one that appeals to me. I won't be reading, though I'm glad it's not the usual sort that you get from this genre. It seems like it's much better written than most. Thanks!

This sounds like a delightful and honest look at dating and the challenges it often presents. So glad the characters were as likeable as the story. Thank you for a great review!

If the sample and your rollicking review are any indications, The Red Light is one extremely entertaining book! The plot itself has been done before and is pretty basic, but the author apparently breathes fresh, new life to it through the well-rounded and quirky characters of Eva and Sabrina. Thank you so much for your review!

What a great review! At first I was repulsed at what I was reading in the book, but the character dynamics you described made this book much more palatable and relatable. (And as you mentioned, If only they would have developed more on Eva these dynamics would add even more to the book!)Now that I understand a little more about the erotica genre, I would be willing to read further in the future. Thanks for destroying my bias!

Seems like Eva loves food just as much as I do. Sounds like a good read.

I am not sure this is a book for me but it does sound empowering. I appreciate the author for writing about women taking control of their sexuality. Congrats on the book of the day! Great review.

This is an awesome erotic romance women's fiction novel highlighting friendship, indipendence, and sexual exploration of the Amsterdam underground. The book has a free sample on Amazon Kindle and an OnlineBookClub review that was simply sublime. I rated the book 4out of 4 stars. Congrats on the BOTD.
