I've always wanted to visit the Red Light District in Amsterdam, and it sounds like this book describes the sex underworld in vivid detail. Unfortunately, I am not into heterosexual erotic stories so I'll have to pass on this one.

I'd love to read this book based on your review. Normally I'm not a fan of erotic novels but this appears to transcend the genre to portray two women overcoming their limitations and living their best lives. I have this on my bookshelf and will be reading it.

Though I always am interested in reading a free sample to check out if I'd enjoy the rest of the book, I have to say that this one is not my particular cup of tea. I don't usually enjoy erotic romance books even if this one seemed to be rather well written. Not my particular cup of tea.

This romantic adventure follows two friends, Eva and Sabrina, on a three month work trip to Amsterdam. I like that the characters are so realistic and well-developed. I also like that Amsterdam is described so well, you feel like you are really there yourself. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

This book sounds captivating, it is interesting that the author sheds light on the fears and insecurities that women have and also it is truly a pleasure when one finds both factors quoted. Great review.

Ugh, this is so DEFINITELY not a book for me. The genre is my absolute least favorite, and I'm not too excited about the plot, either. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though. Thank you for your review.

I am not an erotica reader and so I won't read The Red Light by L. H. Roberts but I will recommend it to the lovers of such. Great review.

I have been very drawn to books that feature strong female friendships recently. This sounds like an interesting read! I also like that you mention that the author seems to have a good grasp of the setting. That’s a major plus!

What an informative review. True friendship and romance are two aspects needed most by humans in our modern lives. I will add this book to my want to read list. Congratulations to the author.

I don't usually read erotica books, but just a few pages I read made me want more. Especially when one got dumped in the middle of a meal and he lol stayed long lol enough to eat lol. This one's a true story. My ex planned on leaving me on my birthday because he had court and planned on using me for that ride and make me drop him off and l would be to leave. Okay, that meant he'd stay at my parents' house, sleep in my bed, and eat my family's food for four days. Wait for it. A family member told him that if all he was going to do was use the family for a few more meals and a roof, he could just go ahead and leave. Guess what? He left that night.

An entertaining review which seemed to capture all the facets of this book. It is not simply a book that uses a story to link sex scenes together but also a great plot with well developed characters and great humor. I think that the descriptions of Amsterdam sound intriguing as well. A great review for a great book that is not just erotica.

I enjoy romance and stories of friendship. I've never been to Amsterdam. The reviewer seems to have really enjoyed the flow of this book. Maybe I will, too.

I already like Eva and Sabrina's characters. Friendship, thriller, challenges, and erotic romance, all these make this book very interesting Great review.
