Stories of forbidden sex and dangerous liaisons and seductions all set around a nameless hotel, much under the ironic gaze of the all-knowing receptionist. Gives a new meaning altogether to room service, even if some of the stories are set around the bar, the gym and every nook and cranny of the luxurious establishment. From satin sheets to rubber masks, every kink is available. A striking debut by a young, new British writer.
Brief encounters in the bar, seductions in the pool or a menage in the elevator - this haven for the hedonistic promises as much heat, steam, lust and excitement as those who pass through it can handle. Conferences end with a bang; a gym instructor offers extremely personal training; illicit liaisons abound and flourish in the luxuriously appointed rooms. The daring sexual exploits of the staff and guests are often seen through the eyes of the Receptionist, who is on her own quest to snare the attentions of the charismatic Manager. Does the woman who offers a discreet venue for the indulgence of every secret desire and fetish - from satin sheets to rubber masks - have anything to offer him?
Justine Elyot's kinky take on erotica has been widely anthologised in Black Lace's themed collections, and in the most popular online sites. She lives by the sea.
